Today's Ride

[Joe*Pro]

The mrs is away at grandmas with the toddler, leaving me half a day to myself.

A gentle 9 mile loop it is then in glorious weather, retro kit on, pick a retro stead and off we go.

Some saddle up, some saddle down. With a bit of the local pump track thrown in for good measure. The teenagers loved the Hugi hub and a dad explained to them what a DCD was !

21°C, a bit windy, with 40 MPH gusts, but a lovely day for riding through rolling hills on deserted country lanes. Over 900 ft of climbing and the Stinson was the perfect tool for the job. Recovering from a summer cold, so not too far and not too fast: just leisurely riding, enjoying the scenery and appreciating being alive.



According to the plaque, Ian Fleming wrote You Only Live Twice, here, at The Duck Inn at Pett Bottom.


Er, a hill:

Yes mate, except when I’m trying to balance the phone up in a branch to get some drive by wheelie pictures

I’d say mission accomplished

Squeezed a brief 5miles in between the last morning meeting and eating lunch. A load of lower end components that I bought in the late '90s are still holding their own on the Hahanna.

Another mad week but it's always a good day in the saddle. Chilly feeling 11, less in the valleys, more when the sun came out. SW slight breeze, wet overnight so damp roads. High cloud with clear breaks of blue sky. It's 30 June and we still haven't hit 20.

A nice route around the back of the Beacon got the blood pumping nicely.
