Of course I am! :okay: I have just decided to do a 50 km ride which will take me about 3 hours so I will set off shortly to avoid riding back in the dark. If it starts to feel too much by the time that I get up to Blackstone Edge, I will cut...

You must be mad! I ebiked into the office today but I was very glad of the motor on the hill coming home. Max assist, that'll do nicely. Still sweating buckets when I got home. I think it'll have to be the office again tomorrow, can't...

I am in the coolest (north-facing) room in the house, doors and windows open, but it is still 25 degrees in here! I had been thinking about doing a similar evening ride to yesterday's, only with an even gnarlier climb out of the valley**, but it...

Not too warm as yet on today’s commute in. Was running a wee bit late after walking 2 miles with the dog: before then leaving at 4.40am. So only did the bare minimum / straight ride in today……bloomin lovely it was too though ❤️ Overlooking the...

Haha - that is what I am going to prepare for now! (Puzzle games and crosswords until I doze off...)

Done. Just needs my Brommie T-Bag and some lights. 845 grams saved.

Front end tidied, AliExpress luggage block on, bottle cage off.

The Blue Bike of Beauty safely back at Doctor Towers. Things I'll be doing quite soon include gathering the cables / hoses together in spiral wrap, fitting a Brompton luggage block so I can use the luggage I already have, and probably losing the...

Hopefully. 🤞🏻

Inspired by @sevenfourate's lovely sunrise seascape ride photos, I decided to do the Yorkshire/Lancashire equivalent, but given that the coast isn't exactly handy from here, it would be sun over hills instead of sun over sea. Oh, and there was...

21/6/26 Recumbent Ride Midsummer’s Day Ride on the Rans. After my last ride I took my own advice and set off early. My intention was to do what I set out to do last time but failed due to timing. So, out of the back gate on the Rans at 09:40...

Which implies he is not right about mid Wales. I must admit I was thinking more likely Scotland.
