2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

[RabH]

fantastic ! i bet you are the single rider globally who rides the furthest on that particular model of bike how many miles does it have in total? must be a lot, 8 years on.

the scenery around you is interesting to me, some it looks very familiar to northern california, and some of it completely alien, particularly the dark flat hills (tinto?), of course the types of trees, an the waterways. but the rolling green and gold/beige hills and country roads could easily be 50 miles from here rather than 5000!

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 crazy I can ride all year round! With the winds we are getting these days the e bike is a must now, I just hope it lasts for many years...

Visited the neach at Crosby, flookin freezin.
Turbo into the wind increased wind chill to actual core shaking hypothermia.

Lots of wood washed up.

All the sand disappeared in the 80s, so they spent months transferring it from up the coast and now the sea wall has been smothered.

The wind didn't do much here but we got battered by snow this morning, I had over 6 inches in my garden at one point! Its sunny now and I have a river running down my hill, glad I'm at the top...
