Today's Ride

Well, sat at home with mundane jobs to do is a great booster for getting you out the house, so i went for another ride :D

A lot busier today, no other cyclists but horse riders and families.

It was cloudier today though the wind had died so was a bit warmer, and when the sun came out it was lovely.

Great little local loop, usually dont ride some parts of this much as usually go further afield, and when i do its on the way home so tired, So today was nice as i had a bit more energy and could ride the trails a bit quicker :)

Another great ride.

Went for a long 4 mile loop - weather was fine - about 65’F
Wonderful early autumn colours with a fresh breeze

Some lovely shots folks.

Finally got our holiday in last week, rescheduled from June. You can probably guess where we were from some of the shots below. The weather was epic; sea fog and misty mornings (got some cracking runs around Mounts Bay in the tank) making way to glorious blue skies and golden sunshine. I managed to get my token pink skin after all :lol:

Normal service resumed tomorrow :wink:

Our new house in the distance although we need to blow up the causeway to keep the riff-raff out.

So pleased to finally get to this beach after many years of "next time". Well worth the walk (climb) down.

Wish i was at the beach 8)

Used to enjoy walking over to your new house and waiting until the tide came in and catching the boat back :)
 
Hahaha - that's the fun bit :wink:

First day of autumn and I'll need to get the lights out as it's just a touch too dark for the first 10 minutes or so at 06:30. Slight chill in the air at 12, rising to 14 by 08:00. The mist and sun played a game of who could look the best.

Re:

The ride in this morning was all she wrote. Multiple punctures and a spare tube that fell apart scuppered any chance of riding home.

Wanted to get a ride in before the feted bad weather arrives...

So only 21 miles today.

15°c. Beautiful early autumn mist and sunshine.

Re:

Had a bit of bad news yesterday, so felt the need to to clear my head and process things. What better way than to go for a ride along Southampton Water to Hamble on a old Raleigh rescued from a skip. 8)

It rode pretty well, even managed a little bit of single track through the woods, although the brakes are shocking. :shock:

Beautiful warm sunny day today, though the wind was cold, enough so i had to put long sleeve on for the last part as my arms were just not getting warm. Sat out of the wind though it was glorious.

A quick loop, as i was doing what seems to be regular now, dog sitting. My legs felt like lead after a long walk the other day but as usual im glad i made the effort and would have stayed longer in a couple of spots if i had more time.
