Today's Ride

I love the cat mural where are they?

They're in Newhaven. There's quite a lot going on to try and brighten (not Brighton) the place up. Been some good art exhibitions too recently.

Just looked at those photos again. It looks beautiful but, to me, homely it is not.

Jo and I have ridden this part of the peak district, truly beautiful part of the country.
Hard riding, big hills and descents. Can't wait to get back. Highly recommend you ride there if you haven't. With your level of fitness, you'll be fine.

@Betsy you lucky sod

I meant his tarp. But I am a fully signed-up Southern (specifically Sussex) softie these days. You have to drug me to get me across the East Sussex border.

My Wife is in Falmer at this very moment !

You know when sometimes everything just feels right...

Third day of our retrobike tour and apart from my bottle cage there are no losses to lament.
Today there were really great views and lots of great singletrack.

Unfortunately, heavy thunderstorms were forecast for the evening and night, which is why we quickly added day 4 and ended the tour a day early.
On the way to the car, we still got caught in a pretty heavy hailstorm, but that's what helmets are for...unfortunately they don't protect the hands..

It was not that far and not that high but mostly singletrails, some hiking and also carrying, all with a loaded bike

I'm hammered...the bikes only laugh
