Today's Ride

[MarinMartin]

Decided to take the old Raleigh out for a ride today (nothing to do with the fact it's my only working bike). I'm limited to short rides at the moment due to a rib injury. Probably not the best steed to take off road when bumps hurt but still 15 miles isn't too bad.

As much as this bike is heavy, uncomfortable and 'old' I love it. There's something oddly satisfying seeing people look at you with a strange expression on their face.

It's good to be different.

Kind of a lake ride near Salzburg. Didn't expect a temperature drop from 27 to 13 degrees no swimming this time

Cold here too. It was bright this morning when I went out, but only 8°C.
I rode past Virginia Woolf's house and then along the River Ouse towards the old hillfort. I didn't go as far as I'd planned because I wasn't wearing enough clothes.

Yep, chilly 8, felt like 6, defo lower in spots. Clear skies, brilliant orange sunshine when it appeared. Light 6-7mph E breeze.



Spot on

30km in crisp autumn sun.

Long time lurker here. This afternoon's 28 km ride just north of Copenhagen on my 1999 (I think) Trek 2500 Alpha SL. Pics taken at the east coast at the Knud Rasmussen monument looking north towards Klampenborg and Bellevue Strand and south to Amager and the Øresund bridge. 16C and sunny!

Chilly, breezy one again. Lots of epic sky!
Trying out my Vecnum suspension stem. It's great.

Great way to close out Thursday (yesterday) with a nice loop with Carnbike. Yep I rode with someone else. Unheard of!



Contrary to the picture, it was off-road

Normal service will be resumed later: just me and trying to avoid the odd spot of mud

Still filling in some empty spots on the rides map ended us up south west of Corby/Kettering today. Doesn’t sound great but found some nice villages, bridleways and cake. Just over 30 miles. Didn’t get much above 14 degrees, not much sun, was a long sleeved t-shirt ride.

Last week I flipped the stem to get the front bars up a bit, this week the seatpost went up about 2cm. I found I was much more comfortable especially when climbing, the best/fittest I’ve felt on a ride for a few years.

Testing to see if I can get the controls to work for my Bridgestone . Or perhaps I'm testing myself to see if I can be a "moustache" kinda guy
Anyone care to bet that's the first time this bike has done a stair set?
