Today's Ride

[Hombre]

only one single speed loop this past Saturday, fortunatelly without pics. but today my little daughter asked me to ride our bikes together and she was ok with off-road riding (which not her favorite normally). so who am I to let her down with such a request ? we ended up with a nice little round (approx one hour at gentle pace) in the local woods. she was smiling and gigling all the way, so absolutely worth it.

Is spring finally here? March and April have flown by but temperatures have barely hit 10. This weekend showed indications we might finally have left an extended winter.

Saturday afternoon was ace, with a long overdue session on Ryder. I removed the showpiece saddle and put the well worn one back on, and away we went. He fits me like a glove. I'd forgotten I put new pads on last year so the stopping power was spot on. Still a bit sloppy in places but perfect conditions otherwise. It was pretty overcast with cloud and sea fog rolling in but for the first time this year, I had just one layer on.

Yesterday afternoon after a lovely walk around Trewidden, we headed to Newlyn for a stroll on the seafront and basked in 16 degrees! Lovely stuff!

This morning, very light ESE breeze, clear blue skies, the odd patch of cloud, golden sunshine. About 8 dropping to 4-5 in the valleys. Perfect riding conditions and with the Penlee sportive in a few weeks, getting some road miles in is the goal. Hill fog was trying it's best to ruin the ride but the sun is too powerful and it was soon burnt off. Made for a good pic early doors.

It's nice to have the lighter evenings back. I got a bit side tracked on my usual route and found a nice bit of previously unknown trail through the woods. It got a bit slippy for my skinny tyre choice, but fun was had. First outing for my new Kona thumbs up water bottle as well. Headset needs some attention but not to worry.

great time of the year to be out riding, some great colours in the fields.
