Today's Ride

[thom04]

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 pads last time

If you zoom in loads on one of the shots you can see some of Bristol

Today I changed my route home from the office a bit and klunked a few trails that spit me straight out at a streetfood festival...

Rewarded myself straight away.

Best way home ever!

Today was a good day. My first time back at Cardinham woods since 2019. I did some actual mountain biking. I'm slow, I'm in pain but I loved every second of it.

I've learned over the years that, if I don't take a week off after about three months I great really cranky and significantly more contrarian than is reasonable, that's not me so this week just gone has been a mental health week off. I've actually not ridden much, 50% working in the garden , which needs it and 50% working on bike projects. Sounds like a reasonable compromise I did scoot out for a ride at sundown this evening though on a just completed build.


I'm not sure why I don't some tools with me on 'first rides' after a build. I should know better by now. But half way through this ride, my saddle came loose (never had that happen, ever, before) So half the ride was done standing up, which was cool when I was in my 20's, but now...bl**dy hell!!). I guess it's bike ju-ju for putting a Tioga seat post on a Breezer...sorry - I do have a Ritchey one coming!


I wonder what an Oak tree tastes like?. I can't imagine it would be great, but I could be wrong? Has anyone tried one? Let me know if you have.


My standard contre-jour bike shot. Despite the saddle issue, this bike is a gem - love it!!!
