Ride your bike for at least 30 minutes at least three times a week, every week, for a year

W14R1 - Chores around Burnley / Padiham on my far too big for me Dawes

 

[FrothNinja]

W14R2 - Variation on my usual Sunday arvo run to the Clarion House. Still did well over a 1000 ft of ascent.

At last some good weather and a couple of days off work for public holiday so plenty of cycling to be had.

W13R1-2hr 11mins a typical saunter round the riverside. Was a very nice afternoon but lots of people out due to the public holiday.

W13R2- 4hrs Day off so went out to redo a previous route that I had really enjoyed, started off chilly and was regretting not wearing an undershirt by 0900 I was glad I hadn't.

W13R3 - 1hr 5mins very gentle round the river and town, heavy legs this morning.

W14R3 - Managed a quick spin in the wilds of Cumbria between flurries of rain, sleet, and snow. More van weather than bike weather.

W15R1- Nelson, Foulridge, Gisburn Old Road, Rimington, Chatburn, Worston, Barley, Roughlee, Heys Lane, Barley, Newchurch, Clarion House, Roughlee, Blacko, Colne, Barrowford, Nelson (total 55 km plus 3,375 ft of ascent)

W15R2- Nelson, Burnley, Wheatley Lane etc
Trying out clips on the hybrid, taking it easy to play the injured knee back in. Even sticking to the easiest hills round here means 500ft of ascent in half an hour if you don't want to be stuck on the L&L

 

[FrothNinja]

W15R3- Nelson, Barrowford, Roughlee, Spen Brook, Fence, Nelson - just under a 1000 ft of ascent

 

[FrothNinja]

W16R1- Nelson, Height Top, Higham, Burnley, Nelson. Quite a bit of non - riding involved. Saw quite a few teams of racing sheep.

Did not ride to cross this bit

 

[FrothNinja]

W16R2- Nelson, Barrowford, Roughlee, Clarion, Heys Lane, Barley, Black Moss Reservoirs, Stang Top, Roughlee, Noggarth, Fence, Nelson
Tried out the clip in flats on some Shimano MTB clipless pedals.

 

[FrothNinja]

W16R3 - Nelson, Barrowford, Fence, Burnley, Nelson (over 12 miles and over 1000 ft ascent!)
Don't know about elsewhere but it were bloody windy round here

 

[FrothNinja]

W17R1 - Nelson, Wheatley Lane, Newchurch, Roughlee, Blacko, Four Lanes, Twiston, Downham, Worston, Clitheroe, Barrow, Wiswell, Whalley, Sabden, Fence, Nelson (total 50 km plus 3,182 ft of ascent)
Out for 2 hours 45 mins and the wind was brutal - Klimat is wrong - prolonged gusts of over 30 mph. Feel more beaten up then when I did over 80 miles fully laden a few weeks ago.

Pendle from my brief repose at Four Lanes

 

[FrothNinja]

W17R2 - Nelson, Wheatley Lane, Spen Brook, Clarion House, Noggarth, Higham, Fence, Nelson (1,162 ft of ascent)
Wind was still making riding a slog, and my legs were surprisingly knackered from yesterday. Pleasantly warm in the sun when I was out of the wind - a harbinger of things to come.
