Today's Ride

[hookooekoo]

You've just got to sign up for yoga classes, squeeze into your leotard, and practise the downward dog for a year or two.

I don't wear leotards, I wear bib-tights!

I want to use it so I'm going to have to make it more rideable

Put the frame on the rack and stretch it until it begs for mercy?

Sunday's ride was a game of two halves. 10 Miles away from house followed by a tear in the tyre, a replacement tube that was holed and then nursing/ walking the 10 miles back.

Needless to say this all coincided with a thunder storm

It's a drag, man...

For the last couple of days I've been using a pair of Specialized Crossroads. I'm glad I only have one pair. They're exhausting.

It's been a miserable couple of days, soaking home runs, soaking runs in. This is summer? I don't know what to expect anymore.

Had to do some work for a friend today, it was a nice day so i decided to go the long way round.

Quite a few people out on the trails out in the surrounding countryside, a lot quieter in town. Having not been in town for many years it was nice to ride some of the back alleys, paths and parks i used to ride most days when i was younger. The railway bridge is new, and apparently is an Equestrian footbridge, very long ramps as you can see.

A very warm and memorable ride

I've become quite lazy over the past few weeks. What started out as enthusiastic and adventurous rides home, trying to keep routes varied and interesting, has become a race against the clock over the same seven miles.

Tyres changed, marks the return of enjoyment. What a relief.

The view from Mexborough Top lock in the direction of Doncaster.


Warm and sunny. Markedly different from yesterday. About 22°c coming home.

After a bit of work at my house today we decided to go for a quick blast around the woods. Very quiet and the quick turned into a few hours, but it was such a nice day to be riding.

Sun and fun

It happens most years around this time, doesn't it? There's a reason why some people have come to regard the annual tennis jamboree at Wimbledon as a rain dance. It's because every time the pros start dancing around on the Wimbledon tennis courts, the heavens open, and it pours with rain. LOL!

I'm enjoying seeing the pictures being posted. It's great to see everyone's local routes, roads and trails.
