Today's Ride

[al-onestare]

Yesterday evening, said it felt like 7, more like 5. Southerly breeze didn't bring any notable warmth, but it's always a good day when you're on the bike.

Just off the top of Sancreed, I like seeing the road wind back up in the distance before the drop back down towards HQ.

Just a couple of chilly laps around the block with Lil Thundrrr after dinner last night, had to adjust everything on his bike because he's a couple of inches taller than last fall. He's all fired up for spring

Today's ride had a practical purpose: yesterday I took the dog out in the old wagon so he could have a run on a nearby dirt road and we ran out of petrol at the furthest point from home. The fuel gauge doesn't work -- apparently it's a known fault in this model -- but I thought I had a bit more in there.

So we had a long walk home yesterday; I took a can of petrol out in my wife's car last night and filled it up but she wasn't available to drive me out again this morning so I took the Explosif. All in a long walk is a short ride; luckily I could stick the bike in the back and bring it back with me.

And the dog got to stay home.

Couple of days back. It's nice round 'ere

Overnight bikepacking trip. Testing the bike and kit out. Cycled 38km mostly off-road to a small basic camping site.

WNW 14-19mph breeze. Felt like 4 rising a touch when the sun came out. Damp but not soggy. High cloud that started to break, a really good morning for it. I saw next to no-one and it was perfect up on the moor. My go-to loop came up trumps.

Spotted and chatted with the ponies and the moon was looking good over Pendeen lighthouse.

Well that was some sunrise this morning. Tiny E wind, 3-4 mph. Smattering of high cloud, 4-5 degrees but felt like 2-3 in the dips.

Decided to slog it up Gear Hill which was ace. I love how there's sea behind and ahead of me. Passed a few folks including a Dutch couple on e-bikes.

Rain, rain, rain all morning and then a glimmer of sunshine around 3pm so I ventured out on the roadie for a bit of tarmac and gravel. There were big thunderclouds in the distance but managed 90 minutes completely dry which was lucky.

It's autumn proper here now so it was good to grab a few miles while I could.

Bob has not seen the tarmac since last year so a quick spin with the minions seemed like a good idea .
Bright sunshine but chilly in the shade . All in all , bearable....
