Well done guys/gals on the rides @Sweeney would love to have a crack at that hill . Had a week off went into lazy mode and it showed on this morning ride felt really heavy and slow i will not let that happen again.

This seems to be a familiar story as I felt the same yesterday!

I think somebody has swapped the air for invisible soup!!

@Goonerobes Well, I wish they had heated the soup up.......it was baltic this morning up here. Fingers and toes were numb throughout and even my thigh muscles felt like they had seized up. Patchy ice on the roads too so all in all, a rather slow and uncomfortable ride, but a ride nonetheless.

That's the spirit @Mo1959, we're due for the icy blast on Tuesday.......just in time for my next ride day!

I had a phase like that on yesterday's ride too! Think mine might have been a mini-bonk! Should have fuelled up better during my ride methinks.
Hubby and I have just been out for a ride. He called it a 'gentle pedal' - I found it really hard work! Hey ho, perception is a wonderful thing. Mind you, I was 'ride leader' so he claims he was 'draughting', although that may just be to make me feel better

No worries. They are all the same light, just I can guarantee my link Is a UK seller. Some say UK seller but still ship from Hong Kong etc

estimated delivery is Wednesday, so fingers crossed!

Very damp and misty this morning. Felt sluggish but happy with the ride.

Could have done with one of these this morning, mine actually died on the ride.

Did it arrive quick @Reece ? As it's actually a seller from China!
I know it says UK, but click on the feedback and it's says China.

Another little outing - delivering a few thinkgs for Mrs Stonechat, so this took average speed down

Wad ordered on the Wednesday evening two weeks ago then tried to deliver 2 days later on the Friday but no one was home so got it redelivered last Monday. So yes pretty quick.

Think my good average speed yesterday was spurred by the cold to pedal fast enough to keep warm

 

[spooks]

Big thank you to the nice man who stopped and helped me fix a puncture. I really struggle to get the tyre off and on (yes I know I should practice more at home) so instead of sitting by the side of the road for an hour I was back on the bike in 10 minutes. Otherwise uneventful gentle ride.

What started off as looking ok , bit of mist about but nothing really ended up been a slow trudge in the rain and mud on some extremely slick surfaces.
Did manage to get through the 100km barrier for first time so happy enough with that. Cleaning the bike afterwards though is going be a mission and a half.

It's a good feeling isn't it.
