Today's Ride
- Thread starter FairfaxPat
- Start date
Glorious blue skies, no breeze but a fresh 12 rising to 14 by 08:00 this morning. Most of the moisture has disappeared leaving the trails packed with no dust (yet). Really quick and broadly quiet. Nothing of note to report other than big grins and putting in the miles :mrgreen:
Short-ish shakedown ride today for the Brodie.
Wanted to take a bit of everything in so the route was fields, tracks, grass tracks, gravel tracks, bike tracks, forest roads and singletrack. Think that's most things covered. The ride was short but the bike makes you ride fast so a good workout.
The sun stayed in most the time but the air was still warm so another hot ride. Lots of people out in the rivers and walking their dogs, think its due to the summer holidays starting this week.
Good blast.

Looks fantastic Mark - love the stance, black XT rinsg with the white and red livery too.
I can't tell what tires you've fitted there?

Sunny and mild 14, rising to 16 with hazy sunshine this morning. Perfect conditions, really nice and sweaty by the end of the ride.
There's one shortcut that someone is blocking up with debris over the past 2 weeks. Like a red rag to a bull, I can't help clear it every time I see it :facepalm:

Sometimes I have those days where my legs feel heavy, but check out the app and my pace is better than expected. Today was one of those days. Legs were screaming at me on the way home, but I stubbornly refused to let up.
The ride in this morning was a stunner. Left about 7, about 14°c, nice. Mid teens is optimum for me.
Ride home 26°c and fatigue, equals gruelling.
No pics, as they all came out a bit big.
43 miles. Rest day tomorrow.

I had to go to the nearby Giant shop to pick up a charger for lass's ebike so instead of going by car or the short bike route (approx 10 mile round trip) I did an extended Tyne tour of 37 miles.
Crossing the Derwent near Gateshead Metro Centre
Quayside, Newcastle
Tyne near Prudhoe
Destination
Hagg Bank Bridge - disused railway, now a cycle route
Wylam Bridge
Newburn Bridge

Cheers! I had to divert to Grey St in Newcastle. I should have taken a pic there - great architecture.
