Where's that @reindeer ? Looks like a nice climb

This has got me looking at kayaks on eBay 😂

Started looking at garmins last night & quickly remembered what put me off before. Very much my personal hang-up, but the idea of having yet another bit of expensive kit that needs semi regular charging & will likely be redundant in the near future doesn't appeal at all 😂 I might give os maps a...

Today's spin round the lanes of north Somerset, nothing special, but was a perfect day to eat up some miles!

I've not, although have been tempted recently. Komoot forcing me to pay might just push me over the edge 😂 Any particular model you'd recommend?

Anyone got a good route mapping app that they'd recommend? Preferably free I've been using komoot, but got hit with a pay wall today, so looks like they're trying to phase out the free tier accounts 🤦

Damn it! nearly a full month out of the saddle 👎 Rectified today with a sunny loop of the airport

Off on a tangent - the maritime museum (Falmouth) has a good exhibition on surfing in Cornwall - lots of cool retro board designs. For some reason this was the only pic I took. RETRO TAT

Much the same route again for today's ride: Up Barrow Court Lane towards Bristol airport. This time I went a little further & descended through the scenic (and fast) Brockley Combe rather than the vertical downward scramble on the shit tarmac towards Backwell that had me wearing out my brake...

I've always really liked the speckled paint on the Raleigh Amazon, these are the best images I could find but remember it being much brighter in real life: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/raleigh-amazon.442098/ Was a kind of yellow / green / blue splatter gradient over a very dark blue or...

The route was: Nailsea, Festival Way to Flax Bourton, Barrow court lane (Bristol airport direction) this is where I was unsure the loop would work out as it goes through a field & in to the top of Bourton combe. The gatorskins just about did the job though & it's a nice bit of road / bridleway...

New route day! I've been staring at Google maps the last couple of days trying to figure out a potential new loop for my lunch break spins. The goal was to find something with: A decent climb, Mix of terrain (road & track), Able to bang it out in an hour It was way too hot for a climb today...

(yesterday's ride) Not getting many opportunities to head out on the bikes at the moment so when I do the legs are feeling very slow 👎 Still a nice cycle though, just a variation on the usual loop through the lanes around Nailsea/Clevedon with a stop at the Clevedon end to have a look at some...

Cheers for checking that out @novocaine , I think that's exactly what I'm after 👍

No worries, from what I could see on the Roku site it'd use the Arial connection from the TV 🤷‍♂️
