Prepped my winter bike for the Friday night ride later this week so had to check it out, obviously :okay:
Loaded up the rack bag with jacket, leg-warmers etc, new rear light fitted and off to Fredericks for coffee and toasted teacake.
51 Kms completed and just the rear brake needed a tweak on return. All set for Friday. :bicycle:
 
Left the house today with dark foreboding clouds overhead but little rain on the radar. Got hit by a heavy drizzle within 5 minutes riding and carried on as it looked brighter ahead. The same repeated for about an hour during which I found this wonderful realisation that I was at piece with the drizzley rain and just kept pedalling. I was in this lovely place of peace with everything. Rode up towards Clifton where I stopped to see if a cyclist needed help and he showed me that he'd picked up a little bird from the middle of the cycle path as he was worried someone would run over it. He was working out what best to do. I carried on as I was slightly underdressed for the weather and it brightened up a bit. Put in some power as someone was behind me at the lights but then found that he had a motor as he overtook me uphill when I was still doing 23mph!!

Still, a lovely 50k ride out. Why can't all rides find this peace?

I’m a late poster. Apologies, I was doing so well!!!
 
Underway for July but not how I'd expected. Rather than riding to Cheltenham for a holiday at the cricket, the rain forced the use of a train. I just don't want to ride through thunderstorms if I can avoid it!! So a 20mile ride to Derby to get the train and then arrived in Cheltenham too early to check into the hotel. So I went on a random ride which seemed to pass over or under a railway every other mile. A little bit of exploring at the end took me to 50km and I did get drenched twice but it was a fun ride!
