Sunny, bright, but cold today. These autumn days play havoc with one's cycling wardrobe -- I ended up with bib shorts, thermal vest, cycling jersey and neoprene toe covers. In the sunshine this was fine, but as soon as I moved into a shady area, the exposed arms and legs were chilly. Even so...

Wow, that's an innovative technique -- and it looks great 😮

Certainly has an exotic look! Is the carbon fibre 'real' or some kind of decal?

Quick jaunt this afternoon on the Salsa, having mucked about with the brakes and replaced the derailleur with a non-rapid-rise version last week. It was a hasty ride, crammed in between work meetings, but the weather was lovely: cool, bright, dry. Noticed after a few km that the seatpost was...

I told you before . . .

Crikey -- that's a chilly night out! Puts my effort today to shame -- it was dry and sunny and I hadn't ridden for a week for various reasons, so got out on the Jake and did the same ride as last Sunday, with an added hill to try to make up for the week's shortfall. It was cold in the shade...

I'd love to have a go in it. In a very general kind of way it reminds me of this:

Well, it has pedals . . .

Good job mate -- some serious distance covered . . . and sounds like some serious 'learnings' there ahead of the longer trip!

This bike has been suffering from gremlins for a while, so I've taken a bit of time out to focus on sorting it out. Without going into exhaustive detail, I have bled the front Hope brake, replaced a rear wheel that was out of true, replaced the chain and the tyres. But today's change was to...

Archie has been taught to pose on command

Patchy sunshine with cold wind today -- not much to write home about (or indeed here), but went for a 35k 'easy' ride on the Kona Jake. As ever, the wind was stronger outside town than it seemed at first, and it was definitely bringing a chill factor with it. Still, autumn colours are in full...

This may have been posted before as it's been advertised for three weeks, but I couldn't find anything on here. Would love to have the ability to get this in my sweaty grasp -- a nice large size. And it seems to have a few nice bits on it too...

It's an eternal conundrum, isn't it? Stopping for pics can be an unwelcome interruption, but posting wihtout them is like the starter without the main course. Speaking of which, we've had 36 hours' rain since my aborted ride on Monday but it finally abated late this afternoon, so I took off...
