I still call in here despite dropping out of the 50 challenge. It feels weird not having to push my ride distances up to 50/80.5 (50 miles)/100 km! I am currently down in equally 'not much flat around these here parts' Devon, battling the...

A bit of a stiff headwind on the way out, and feeling a bit chilly. I wondered if I was going to be underdressed. The effort against the headwind compensated for the lighter clothes, and it got warmer as the ride progressed, so I was almost...

A bit chilly and the wind was still blowing a bit early doors, turned out I was a little overdressed for the climb up Holcombe hill. Cracking views over Rossendale though. Clouded over and the temp soon dropped so my choice of clothing was...

Fitted a rear rack to my commuter 👍

My new way of watching the mid-section of races... I can split-screen my tablet and play puzzle games while listening to the commentary, looking up when anything interesting starts to happen. The SBS streaming is only 720p resolution so it is...
