Your ride today....

[cosmicbike]

Funny days riding, with 3 rides, on 3 different bike. Brompton to Sainsburys this morning as the quartermaster had forgotten to buy cornflakes and cheese yesterday. Extended the 3 mile direct route to 7 miles..
Afternoon utility ride to Staines to buy my lad a school bag and football socks.
Nice ride out tonight, one of my usual routes with some added not often ridden roads in reverse out Chobham, Lightwater way. Passed by a Twickenham CC chap at Foxhills, and found he was just finishing his TT effort. I believe it was the Hounslow & District Wheelers who run the event, quite a few cyclists waiting their turn. 25 miles on a very nice evening.
Back to the commute tomorrow.

Met up with 2 mates for some off pist mtb around Sherwood Pines..
14 miles and 90% off pist..excellent day ..warm and a nice breeze. .only downside is the 150 mile round trip which is 110 miles on the A1..so much bloody traffic..but 3 hrs driving in total so not a bad run..I may pop off for a beer..

An extended 15 mile commute to work this morning. Last month I managed my target of 1000km (20 miles/day), this month I'm trying for 1250km (25 miles/day). A little behind at the moment due to 2 dropped days, think I'm about 22miles behind target at the moment, so hoping to get some bigger rides in later in the month...

Another metric ton, riding around Southampton and Pompey.

Very nice day for it, even the summer wobbly, and fair weather super hero's didn't dampen my enthusiasm

Portsmouth Guildhall.

Portchester castle from Port Solent.

Southampton Guildhall.

A well deserved Aspall at the Chilworth Arms.

Lovely day for it

Managed to get out of work on time for a change, having completed the board papers on time (phew) and so out for a ride, despite it blowing a hoolie out there again!

Headed into the wind through Bayston Hill and up Lyth Hill, very hard going into what felt like a brick wall, before descending to Exfords Green and turning out of the wind to dads. 20 minutes chatting to dad before continuing on to Ryton and Longnor and then a lovely stretch through Frodesley, Acton Burnell and Pitchford, with the wind behind me, got the average speed up from below 10 to 11.2 by the time I got home.

21.5 miles

Well I don't know if ive gone mad but it is really hard to except that in the rule book cycling should be measured in Km!

As a Englishman through and through I hate anything metric!!!

Even though I learnt metric in school and my Dad working in imperial at his work, and with him being my hero I always do everything in imperial.

But this week I've converted my strava account to metric! How long it will last I have no idea. I just can't visualise in Km.

Ok I'm a little late posting this but Wednesdays ride with Eastgate was better than I expected as it was in the Forest of Dean and a chance of rain.

@Frazzle came roind a d we saet off and waited at KFC for the possibility of 2 others joining us. Well it turned out it was a no show.

At the pub we signed in and split into our groups, I was in inter chilled. Inter length at chilked pace.

We had a group of eight, we left on time so everything was ok at the start.

We headed out on thr A48 then the A40 towards Ross on Wye. The traffic was ok but not too busy.

The great thing with this group as always is they always look out for everyone and slow if someone is flagging. As with KCC on a Sunday @Frazzle is always going back and forth from the back to the front making sure everyone is ok.

At Huntley we hung a left to head for Mitcheldean. The trip to Mitcheldean is up and down and this time I felt good at the front vut I knew it wouldnt last as @Frazzle and Wayne would soon be flying by uphill. I got to Mitcheldean with no problems except for having to brake at the long downhill section for traffic, so my highest speed would be down on @Frazzle, which is not good.

From here it was to Flaxley Abbey and last time I ws hede I lost my rear light about 1/2 way down the hill. Then it was back to Gloucester on the A48 , it should have been easy but a artic nearly took out me , AJ and Rachel. I saw Rachel jump I thought shewas going to come off, luckily she didn't.

All the way back I stay with AJ and Rachel as AJ had no rear light.

We all in all it was 55.8 km and I really enjoyed it. What the hell is that in Miles?
