Went for utterly blissful spin through the country lanes. It's such an amazing day here. Sun on my back, blue skies, wind in my wheels...honestly happy to be alive.

I pounded up to Ashbourne through the lanes - 9.30 start, and sun just starting to be significantly irritating. Passed a couple of chain gangs. Chilled out with a calorie-fest (cake, water, more cake). Breezed back down the A52.
Darned hot - got through 3 bidons in 3 hours, which I suppose isn't excessive, but felt like all I was doing was drinking!

It were hot at Fairholmes - did about 5 miles with my daughter - in one of those moods - wasn't up for riding.. ah well.
Totally packed car parks - we got their early, so was fine. Loads of folk on bikes - I had the only road bike though !!! My MTB won't go on the roof rack due to the guards !
Look pedals and soft shoes give you foot ache though !! Walked a fair bit pushing my daughter up the odd hill.
Was good though - came back via Winnats (in the car)

Out at 6 back at 10, not a pang of guilt for sitting in the garden "recovering" for the rest of the day...

The Tissington Trail was awash with cyclists. Funny how a facility designed to encourage cycling ends up looking like the bike equivalent of a motorway jam!

Blisteringly hot here for a few days. Even managed to cycle to work on Wednesday, something I can't usually do 'cos I need to carry heaps of tools etc. and the lorry-infested area in which I work. Felt great to do it though, and was surprised to receive very few silly comments on my garb from uneducated workmates. Maybe this cycling thingy might catch on!

I'm getting out for a ride tomorrow morning before it starts to get warm. One day of being boiled in the saddle at a time for me!

I did 68Km this morning and now have very burnt arms and legs, but the ride was brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a little cycle along the seafront this morning. Lots of kids out building sand castles and swimming in the sea in beautiful sunshine. Today saw the annual swim across the bay, with 80 swimmers swimming to the island and back. I chained my bike up with about twenty other bikes on the railings. There are no dedicated cycle racks, but it was nice to see so many people out cycling.

Was out at 8.30 - 32 hilly miles, and home shortly after 10 - blooming hot climbing the brickworks, but misty in Cheshire - only got sun as I neared the edge of Derbyshire. Loads of bikes out early !!
