Hi and hope you're all well.
Tonight i was just planning on going out on one of my mundane solo rides of around 15 miles, but as we know cycling can take unexpected detours sometimes.
I was about 7 miles into my ride when a cyclist turned in front of me. For a few miles i rode around 50 metres back until i realised it was a good friend. Catching up with him, we had a good chat along the lanes and my ride turned from 15 miles into 55. The mundane solo ride had suddenly turned into a great ride out, and ended up getting back home gone 10pm tonight, with the front light giving up just metres from home. That's one thing i really enjoy about cycling. You can ride many times and nothing untoward happens, but then one ride comes along and your routine gets turned on its head.
A very pleasant evening of cycling tonight with great company

Barnet,
This is the good thing about cycling, one plan rolls into another. Also, this shows the social side of our hobby/sport.

I was cycling through netherlands last week and kept getting lost on way from south rotterdam to dordrecht. A very lovely old gent stopped to help and cycled with me for 5 miles to show me the best way to where I needed to go. Had a great old chat with him. It was a warm day and I had already cycled 40 miles with 14kg backpack on so he saved me from further misery. Made my day that a stranger could be so kind.

You were cycling while wearing a rucsac? Your poor bum!
Yep. Decided to go on the racing bike and not the hybrid on which I have panniers. Wasnt too bad on the cooler days.
