I rarely ride into the wind at the start of my ride but with a 20mph easterly today and much warmer conditions it was a no brainer, I was really looking forward to making my way home with a 20mph tailwind for a change! The first 10 miles down to Allanton were all ups and downs and then it was...

After my big ride on Thursday I chose a much easier ride today and with signs of Spring arriving it was good to get out without 5 layers and heated gloves! The afternoon temp was 12C with a feels like temp of 8C, it felt so good but of course it was windy again! 😂 Not too bad though with a...

Thanks buddy, 45295 miles now and if all goes to plan I should ease past 50000 miles before year end, health and bike permitting! We don't have any really high hills but its very undulating to say the least and very twisty, I'm really blessed to live here and although our weather can be a bit...

Thanks Jeremy, it really has and I hope it remains a friend for a very long time! ;) The storm is hitting late Saturday into the early hours of Sunday, up north anyway!

Some pictures from my epic 115 mile ride yesterday that didn't make the cut in the Our Rides section! https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/2026-our-rides-in-words-photos-maps-and-videos.58838/page-34#post-709232

An epic ride on my epic bike to celebrate it turning 8 years old! My bike turned 8 years old on Tuesday and with a nice forecast today I decided to do a long ride to celebrate it! Its hard to believe its 8 years old already, I still remember my first ride like it was yesterday! I did question...

Our weather has been abysmal once again but I spotted an opportunity to get out today, it was very windy but at least it was dry when I set off just before midday! It was showing a 70% chance of rain around midday and not long after I left I could feel rain in the air, luckily the 35mph wind...

Back on my local roads today on a very cold but sunny morning, we had sleet and snow yesterday so the sun was very welcome! The forecast was showing rain arriving around midday, unsurprisingly it came earlier but at least it wasn't heavy! All the floods on my back roads had gone at last and...

Sorry to hear you have been unwell Dave, I'm glad you were well enough to get out on the bike! Feel better soon mate, best wishes! I was diagnosed with colitis but I only have 1 symptom so I'm not convinced about it...my doctor recommended Kefir and I have been using it in yoghurt form for a...

With the weather going downhill after today I decided I was sufficiently recovered from Thursdays epic ride to do another 100 miler, no battery anxiety this time thankfully! I set off just before 8am in overcast skies, they said it would improve as the day progressed and they got it right for...

A lot of my roads are very quiet but I have been known to wait a couple of minutes for traffic to clear! 😂

Some pictures from yesterdays epic 124 mile ride that didn't make the final cut in the Our Rides thread! https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/2026-our-rides-in-words-photos-maps-and-videos.58838/page-29#post-708175 I took over 200... 😂

Yes indeed Dave, they don't come along very often here so we have to make the most of them and I think the mission was accomplished! ;)

With perfect weather I just had to get a big ride in today, I didn't hold back and almost over did it... 😂 It was 5C when I set off at 7.45am with little to no wind so it didn't feel cold, I was planning to make my way down to Falkirk and head north for Airth and turn NW for Callander! I got to...

No chain issues this time? The terrain you ride on couldn't be more different to mine, I love my smooth roads... ;)

After 6 days of the weather gods throwing everything but the kitchen sink at us I decided to chance it today, the wind had calmed down to 30mph and the rain was meant to be just light with a 90% chance of it hitting! I can handle a little rain but I do hate setting off in rain, thankfully it was...

A nice bonus ride today in very blustery and grey conditions, no photos this time! Only 500ft less elevation gain than my big ride on Sunday and 40 less miles, good to be back on my hilly terrain... 😂 The forecast was looking dismal but they got it wrong thankfully, the highlight was my 46.9mph...

With rain forecast pretty much all next week and today looking very nice I just had to make the most of it, I noticed St Andrews was looking really inviting so it was time for my first foray to the NE this year! I travelled 50 miles in the car and parked in a layby between Crook of Devon and...

I'm usually the same but I didn't want to push my luck yesterday and get mowed down by some moron in a rush to get home... I found my perfect bike almost 8 years ago, I really don't know what I will do when it finally packs in! I will keep enjoying it until that day comes though, I still...

Road cycling at its glorious best! Today I had no route planned, my only plan was to cycle the best roads I could think of in my locale and I came up with a near perfect route! It was super hazy so I made the decision to keep my phone in my bag and just ride my bike with zero distractions! Just...
