Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
After a long winter on the turbo trainer it is good to be pedalling in the fresh air.
Nice photos. Many thanks
I've been off roading since school age...only got my first roadie last year (A Specialized Allez Sport).
Got the MTB out at local roads are completely ruined by the flooding with massive potholes and sharp gravel everywhere.
It is good to have both types of bike tbh.

Just back from a family ride with the local group in Honeybourne. First time Max has ridden in a large group and he loved it. Forgot to change the Strava over to the tag bike
, but we were out riding for 2 1/2 hours.
Look forward to the next one.

Well done, especially to the family. It must be liberating to leave the computer/gps at home sometimes I think.Just back from a family ride with the local group in Honeybourne. First time Max has ridden in a large group and he loved it. Forgot to change the Strava over to the tag bike

Sue (OH) missed out, she was at work today, just me and the boys. I didn't need the computer as speed was not the point, a nice slow steady social ride was order of the day.

. In December 2013 I only managed 2 miles. Wednesday this week I did 15 miles. Tomorrow I'm aiming for 20 miles. It doesn't take very long to get a bit fitter if you get out on the bike regularly.

If this wind doesn't die down, I think I'll be doing minus 20 miles tomorrow because it will blow me backwards! Crazy out there just now.

Thanks. It's nice to get some support. I know some people cycle crazy distances but we all have to start small.

Got the bike back earlier. New rear wheel set me back thirty-six notes, including swapping the cassette over and reindexing the gears. Not a bad deal I think, so long as I go from breaking a spoke a fortnight to something more reasonable.
Been getting very envious of the rides I've been seeing lately, so it'll be nice to get back out there. Might pilfer a quick hour or so tomorrow afternoon, although I will be out with the family for a meal around lunchtime so might need to make it three hours if dessert is on the cards
