Good day, looks like we are in for blue sky and sun. Just as well really as I'm riding at 9.00. This could be a mistake as my partners today are a young man 34 years younger than me and the Pocket Rocket who is widely acknowledged ad the best female rider in the club - I do hope she's on her winter bike.

A word of warning; if you see a steamroller today don't let it run you over. Also don't take part in an online Cardio Class. Both will leave you feeling like you've been run over by a steamroller!!! Stiff as a board this morning 😭😭

Catch you later - I hope

Do you mean this kind of Steam Roller.

Another 53 miles clocked up. Avg 16 which is fast for winter. Quick coffee and sausage roll at a sandwich shop. More and more we're thinking this is the way to go in future - 15 minute stop, quick coffee and snack. I think we will be saving cafe stops for longer all day rides.

At the meet point at 9.30 there were cars parked up with frozen windscreens. Must have been cold last night.

Thanks .66” , there’s a lot of me to lug up hills . It’s the same as my age this year, so next year 67 then 68 . Nah that’s not going to work . My legs don’t spin up like they did hence the back brake .

I've been for a bimble, 53 miles at 13.4, my fixed is back in full stealth mode, quieter than a church mouse and as smooth as silk, it was lovely wafting along the lanes in silence. Went over to Sutton Cheney, left Coventry through Kerseley and up Breach Oak Lane and through Astley and Ansley then down Purley Chase, round the big island on the A5 and through Witherley, Atterton and Shenton then onto Sutton Cheney. In the village I turned to cross the main road and onto Earl Shilton, through Stoney Stanton, and past Stoney Cove then picked up a small lane to Frolesworth and onto Claybrook Magna and a regular route home through Monks Kirby. A chilly and bright morning with a gentle breeze, it was a very good morning out on the bike and my last one till after Xmas.
