Have you done your first ride of 2017 yet?

[tyred]

Not yet. I went for my now traditional coastal New Year's Day walk, about 20KM of it yesterday and that combined with a weekend of very late nights meant I was feeling tired today plus having to wait around for the phone guy to turn up meant no riding today. Tomorrow starts the new cycling year I think.

33 miles yesterday, followed by another 32 today, although todays had a couple of brown lycra moments after getting caught on rapidly freezing remote country roads from 4.30pm.

Yesterday was riding through France (on my Turbo Trainer), today was a metric ton for January. It was safer on the turbo as I fell off on ice today and damaged the bike, my clothing and myself.

Waiting for the lurgie to clear, maybe out on Thursday or Sunday.

1.1 miles in the rain yesterday
32.6 miles today on ice I prefer the rain . Like a few others had here had a interaction with the tarmac
Fastest this year on loads of strava segments even the one I fell off on

Not yet. I have however gone for a bit 30 minute walk. The roads and lanes are far too ice for me. However, unlike last year when I lost it big time and didn't go out until April, I intend to do a lot more cycling this year and i hope to get a ride in by the end of this week.

Two rides so far this year, 15 miles yesterday and 20.5 today, although due to a combination of a lurgy that just won't go and icy roads, I'm already around 50 miles down on my mileage for this time last year...

With a top temp of 4°C forecast for the next ten days, not a chance

 

[biggs682]

nope

You could today. On an average summer day you can't even see the spit of land to the right, where Asda and the ferry terminal are .

That Asda wasn't there when I lived on Arran. Apparently with the Road Equivalent Tariff making fares so cheap it's having a real impact on the Arran businesses.

January 1st was wet and horrible here, which combined with the traditional hangover meant no riding.

But today dawned bright and sunny, if somewhat cold and I managed a steady 25 miles:

As a bonus I've placed first this year on several segments

Have you got out this year yet?

Back to work tomorrow so back on the saddle!.

Tomorrow for me too, Sunday was 4 degrees and piddling down + we had new years dinner + daughters birthday party to host .Today took mini ck 1 to walk in health centre with suspected bladder infection (hes ok but with kidney problems gotta be careful ) and mrs ck at work .

Did 4 turbo sessions over the week but no proper rides as its been frosty and why risk it when i can turbo it .

4.2km yesterday to work and back and 32km ride out today

Yesterday was too wet & miserable so it was a cleaning & fettling day. My first ride was back to work this morning where I had to sit in a cold office watching others enjoying the lovely riding weather.

 

[gavroche]

Not yet due to sensitive bowels but will do before summer.

 

[CanucksTraveller]

Yep, 35 miles done today. Pics, description, and map on "your ride today".
It was a tiny bit nippy, but not unmanageably cold once you get going. Get out there ya big jessies!
