Re: Re:

Jamie that last pic is biblical :shock:

It was just after his offering of his banana to the cycle gods and wind gods....

But he should also have thanked the puncture fairies because they avoided us all day. Probably too busy on the NC500 route...

Re:

Thanks Jamie, that is inspirational, but will I ever do something similar? Naw. Think my legs/head can just about cope with a mere 20.2km, 202km is just a work of fantasy for me.
As for Brian and his 3 speed gears..................

I know, it's embarrassing.

But in my defence I always said that when I got old and frail, I'd get gears.

Re:

Hi mate
It was a good ride but it is more about trying to just keep pedalling. The speed doesn't matter at all, which is lucky for me, it's just about keep going really, as long as your moving forward your still in the game. I'm sure you would be fine as most on here would.
Here is the map but I don't know why it's not saying the 202klm that it does on the stats, I also noticed it's not showing the time :shock: I hope that shows up on the GPX file I sent for validation!

Jamie

Phew, found it now :facepalm: Distance 202.19klm, Time 13.12Hours, Climbing 7115m, steepest gradient 18%

Took the day off work for my 42nd birthday. Goal was to get my bike to the top of the highest legal access mountain bike peak in Southern California, Mount San Antonio 10,064ft, aka Mount Baldy. Baldy is my local big hill. Grew up hiking and riding the local mountains. It was a great morning and ride. Epic views. Think I will do it my next birthday as well, maybe a new tradition.

Happy Birthday! mate
Sounds and looks like it was a good one. Nice and sunny anyway.

Re:

Went for a road ride over the Cleish Hills today since it might be the last for next few weeks after my cockcutaff op, er I mean cataract op tomorrow. Nearly forgot to stop to take pics, jist these worth looking at though.

First my "new" road bike that I recently finished putting together, a Reynolds 531c lugged steel frame.



Looking down towards Loch Leven with the Lomonds beyond.

Yesterday I did Day 5 of my solo LEJOG. Bridgwater, through Cheddar Gorge, over the Clifton Suspension and Severn Bridges and up the lower Wye Valley.

Looking good guys!
OCP, looks a ride out as nice the bike looks great, weather seems to match as well. It's also good to see you cross over from the dark side

jackosbournesnr, looking a great ride. Enjoy and soak it in.

Went for a wee road ride. Intended to be a cruise, sitting up enjoying the view on the 3 speed Pompino.

As Jamie knows I have an aversion to tarmac, so I ended up here.



(Erchless to Orrin dam track, part of HT550 route. Pic is looking back down the way I came and the wee loch in the far distance is Lochan Fada).

Jamie, fancy another of my "road" rides next time you're down?
