Your ride today.... (part 1)

[Fnaar]

Just a shade under 50 miles yesterday, lovely ride, half in gloriuous winter sun, half in fog. Here's a pic (OK, OK, I played about with the colour of the sky a bit, but that's all)

Have your bars slipped down or are they meant to be like that?

No, it might look a bit odd, but I like 'em like that They were kind of set 'normally' when I got the bike, but when pulling the brakes, it didn't feel right. Now it does Been like that for 3 yrs or so now.

Rode out to York to meet up with the York Posse and then down to Pocklington via Stamford Bridge to meet with others from the Hull/Beverley area. After some refreshements back to Leeds via Cawood.

85 miles or so.

Circa 20miles commuting today...man alive it was cold this morning, so much so it made me mans bits painfully uncomfortable
Strange, it wasn't that cold, just cold, but i havn't suffered that before !!!

Commuting last night, i was waiting at a set of TLs, up came a colleague on his Triax racer. he's a bit headstrong and raced off in front. A quick spurt and i caught him up, rode alongside for a while, then off i went leaving him to his own devices.
Met him this morning..a catalogue of excuses and any other day he's have had me Yeah yeah


He did something similar earlier this year, paced alongside for about 1km, then said...'can you feel the burn yet ?'
'Bugger me no....i havnt even warmed up yet'.

he just turned down a side street and disappeared

Today was coldish but I was warm apart for my face which was freezing though so maybe time for a balaclava. I did a really stupid thing though, forgot about breakfast! So about 10 miles in I'm wondering why I can't put any power down & have averaged 14mph, it doesn't hurt I just have no energy then realise I've not eaten anything & take a gel... the remaining 30 miles just get faster & faster. Shame I had to cut the ride short due to an appointment, still went out and put in another 20 miler latter.

Not many miles, not much snow (just a shower or two here) but the edges of the roads are verrry icy, you can see it glistening.
On the plus side, a very very cold but strong tailwind home tonight.

13 miles of packed snow, ice & wet tarmac... given a nice laugh at the numpty in a car that had to overtake me... bike with studded tyres has a lot more grip than a car with normal road tyres

Got exceedingly cold big toes on the way home today. Where I live certainly felt a couple of degrees colder than where I'd come from.

I did a nice detour via the health food shop that sells very good beer.
Shame some of them are for presents

Would that be the one in Top Mossley? They've an excellent range of bottled ales.

Only a quick 8 miles for me today at tea time (hence the quick, missus was hungry). Roads were fine provided I stayed out a bit more than normal.

It certainly is!

I'm quite partial to the Millstone beers and haven't tried many of the others. Yet.
They're doing 8 pint mini kegs of Greenfield ales - 6 to choose from.
Book early for Christmas to avoid disappointment.

And I managed not to take the road past the Pike and stuck to the main road down to Ashton, unlike last year

Great views from up there tonight.

Thanks for that, not been in there for a week or two, must go and stock up if possible!

I got about 200 meters before my body told me that it wasn't going to let me continue .
