After the dire ride on Saturday, this one was a joy - sunny, almost no mud, a very enjoyable quickie.

Very nice looking bike that. I am looking into converting my turbo trainer bike (kuota kobalt) into something maybe similar. Not really sure where to start but fortunately I have a very helpful LBS giving me advice.

Week 3

Ride 1 - Tue 18th Jan

I set off under blue skies and sun to run into a thick wall of fog. Bit of ice and frost in places but easy to spot and avoid. I was out for 1.5 hours.

Week 3 Ride 3 - fairly similar to 2. Roughlee to Barley to Blacko to Roughlee taking in a number of bridle paths I haven't ridden before...which meant I set a PR while riding quite slowly and enjoying the view

W3R2 - 19/1 - 1:49
Hovering around 0°C, slippy wet chalk on the Ridgeway but clear skies offered great star gazing.

Sunny weather - if somewhat crisp, so I have added a 4th at about an hour long & 1,300+ feet of ascent
Brierfield - Haggate - Cockden Bridge - Nelson - Barrowford - Wheatley Lane

Week 3 - Ride 2 - Thurs 20 Jan 2 hrs 31m/41.31km A loop out to Ménéac, past la Riaye, and then home via Brignac and Evriguet. That takes me to just over 500km for the year - the earliest I've achieved it (previous best was 25 Jan, in 2020) - pleasing but fairly meaningless .. who knows what February will be like...

Week 3

Ride 2 - Jan 20th. Short outing once the ice had cleared. Stuck to known roads in terms of drainage and ice likelyhood. Cold wind today and grey. No photos today.

Week 3

Ride 1 - Jan 20, as predicted the rain has arrived in Taipei preventing any riding. Fortunately I have had to head south for work and am staying in Taichung where it is always sunny. Managed to get out for 55 mins yesterday, riding through the city is awful due to all the traffic lights but it had to be done. Decided to stay for the weekend just to further avoid the rain in Taipei and get the other 2 rides done.

It wasn’t in April 2007!

I think rain once every 15 years is pretty good going

Every single time I have visited Taichung it has rained. EVERY TIME!
