Your ride today.... (part 1)

[Scotmitchy]

I did a little eight mileloop, including trying my hybrid on one some very gentle offroading, it was fun - and sunny!

Fourteen miles split between Budapest and Vienna. We're on our way back to England.

Commute to work from home in South Cheshite to North Wales. I say commute, it's a fraction over 18 miles which I am doing once a week-and back of course. Takes me through some beautiful countryside, along part of the national cycle trail, over some hills, across the river Dee floodplain and over the Dee itself. It normally takes aroung 1hr 11 mins to do but was really in the mood this morning ad shave 6 mins off the time. Felt fab once I got to work. A feeling which quickly evaporated, due to being..........well, at work

Not today but last Saturday ( it's taken this long to recover!)
I rode Mike Wigley's Full Monty audax ride. 300km ( 190 miles in old money) It was my first,( and maybe last!), 300. Weather was surprisingly good, I encountered just 2 heavy showers all day. Rolled back into Wilmslow about 11.30pm after a 6am start, with a ride time of 14hrs 32mins.

had a nice ride up to Wray for lunch with friends, about 9 miles... then continued up to Lowgill, about 4 miles to see my sister and nieces... all jolly pleasant and turned into an impromptu family gathering with my uncle and aunt who are visiting from India, their daughter and her new born... then my mam and dad turned up and we all sat in the lovely garden of "my sister's really nice holiday cottages" (link below)... wet the baby's head with a couple of glasses of champagne, had a nice afternoon before heading back home again, at which point i realised why the ride 'up' was so pleasant... bloody wind was with me this morning and now it's removing much of the benefit from the downhill journey home.

16 miles in the blazing sun! Only down side was how hot it was.

for Sunday: Epic ride in the Dales. Train to Garsdale Head, off up Askrigg Hill. Started raining on the tops & got very heavy. Heard rumble of thunder as I was dropping off the tops. Then endured torrential rain and nearby lightning strikes while going very slowly down the dale (think it was Swaledale). Wanted to shelter under tall trees but didn't dare as I could see bolts hitting trees on the hillside and down in the town ahead. Got to some little town after doing 5mph in hail, sheltered in a loo for 30 mins then abandoned the ride, went back to Hawes over Askrigg fell and then on to Ribblehead where I got the train home. About 43 miles all in. What few motorcyclists out were quite considerate, for a change.
last night had nice little blow-away-the-cobwebs blast around the lanes after work...

Only 18 miles on tonight's pub ride as I'm a muppet and forgot to take my lights so had to head home early.

Carefully filtered through a traffic jam for the first few miles of my run tonight, all these cars holding cyclists up After a few miles though I was out of town and managed a pleasant 40 miles in the evening sunshine on an ad lib route round the West of Peterborough, I'm staring to know my way round there
