I had a route planned for yesterday that would have been close to 125 miles, my plan was to drive to Kincardine and cycle inland to St Andrews and then head down the east coast back to Kincardine! Unfortunately the weather had other ideas with mist and fog pretty much all the way to Kincardine...

I had a ride of around 50 miles planned in my head but due to weather avoidance I ended up close to 60! I have a big ride planned for Thursday so I really wanted to get a ride in before then, the following Thursday I have a colonoscopy to look forward to so riding will be limited next week! No...

The weather finally played ball today, it was very blustery but a beautiful day! The wind was bitingly cold from the NW and gusting around 30mph, I decided to head SE and enjoy the wind for a while! I took the back roads as much as I could out to Auchengray, one of our few long straights around...

I was worried about mist and fog preventing my ride to Knockhill Racing Circuit yesterday for the 50th anniversary bike festival meeting, I really didn't want to take the car! The circuit opened in 1974, I first attended in 1979 and have been every year since! Luckily it was just misty with no...

I just got round to watching your video, PD and I'm just blown away! Its like Scotland on steroids! ;) Just spectacular mate!👌

The weather has been great all week but I took a couple of days off to recover from Monday's epic! I have been waiting for the right conditions to do one of my favourite rides and today was looking just right so my plan was to put the bike in the car and drive down to Peebles to cycle out to...

Just spectacular, PD👌@Prairie Dog Same thing happened to me once with Di2, a real pain but its a great system!

We finally have a week of decent weather so I made the most of it today, light winds but a little chilly at first when I set off at 7am! I had a ride planned in my head which involved a trip down to Ayrshire as I haven't been down that way for quite a while! I headed out to the Clyde Valley but...

The stormy weather finally passed through and today was looking much better, although there was a chilly NW wind blowing and it was only 5C when I departed at 8am! With lots of climbing ahead I wasn't going to feel the cold though, I decided to head out to Lennoxtown and head over the Campsie...

Is the perfect bike ride a reality? today it happened for me so I would say yes it is! My day started off with a low, I was intending to go to Knockhill for the car racing but the weather had other ideas and left a blanket of dense fog at home and up at Knockhill! I decided I would go in the...

Yes I do, any opportunity for a big ride is taken with gusto and today was the case in point! ;) I noticed I hadn't ridden out to the beautiful Trossachs since June so with a decent forecast today I put that right! The wind was from the NE and around 20mph which is unusual for around here...

If I get one nice day out of 6 I'm lucky... 😂

Is your weather good every day? it certainly seems to be and I'm just a little jealous despite it being lovely here today...;) Its supposed to be nice tomorrow also so I will almost certainly be out on the bike tomorrow after missing out today!

Enjoy your new steed , Jeremy! Yellow is my least favourite colour but it will get you seen which is good, I hope you have many miles of fun on it! 👍

I was looking forward to cycling to Knockhill Racing Circuit tomorrow for the motorcycle racing but on checking the latest forecast on Friday night it wasn't looking as promising as it was previously, it was showing a gusty 30mph easterly wind with a 30% chance of rain in the afternoon so I...

Sometimes you just get lucky and today was the case in point, I suppose I was due it after my hard drive failed on my pc last week! It was pouring down in the morning and it cleared up just a little so I chanced a walk at a local park and made it round without getting a soaking! The wind wasn't...

Thank you all for your kind words, it really was a proper epic ride and I know all about it today... 😂 I sure slept well last night! ;) I definitely picked the right day, our weather is looking awful this week so at least I will get a much needed rest!

My longest and best ever ride and my dad was with me all the way! On May 30th 2022 my dear old dad passed away at the grand old age of 93, he was my inspiration and encouraged my cycling throughout the years! To honour him I decided to ride from my front door to St Andrews and back and hope to...

I got the final piece of the jigsaw in the mail today and my bike is good to go again! 👍 What a relief, I had to order a new power switch also as the old one didn't want to part company with the old mounting bracket...stupid miniature screws are a pain! Anyway we are good to go and I'm hoping to...

As usual nothing is straightforward though, the new display doesn't come with a mounting bracket and the old one has the bracket attached... :rolleyes: Apparently it was modified on the later bikes and you have to order the bracket separately, thankfully they had one left in stock!
