The wife told me to go out .
So I did .
So shortly afterwards the rain came .
The younger me would have taken this a divine sign to go to the pub .
I'm so grown up now I didn't .
Humph !

Mine is broken so I rode hers.
From the campsite, to the end, and back again
Of course I took a break along the way
On the way out, I had the place to myself. On the way back, I was overrun by roadies, apparently they were having some kind of event. I got passed more than I like

Work, holidays, but most of all, dogshit weather has put a real damper on this seasons riding. I've done more running that ever so I'm notably ahead on the yearly goal of 1,023k.
That said, I got out early doors yesterday where no rain was forecast...and got soaked about 5 miles from home
The vibe from this picture sums up summer 2023 down here: a glimpse of blue sky, quickly shat on by cloud and mist.
The sun turned up an hour ago after another dull, grey, windy morning so fingers crossed for an after work jaunt

Seems similar all over the UK . Shabby summer .Work, holidays, but most of all, dogshit weather has put a real damper on this seasons riding. I've done more running that ever so I'm notably ahead on the yearly goal of 1,023k.

Sounds like Canada as well lately. Had a week's holiday, and I got rained out four times. Here I thought we were killing the rain forests, it seems as though we turned the cooler places into one insteadThat said, I got out early doors yesterday where no rain was forecast...and got soaked about 5 miles from home
Unbelievable scenes. The sun came out and hung around yesterday for an after work ride. It's still here now...
WSW light breeze, a ROASTING 14 degrees, slightly warmer when the clouds parted. A solid lap, avoiding a great big John Deere with a Fiat 500 sounding horn

Sunshine! Dryness! (still plenty of puddles, mind)! An extended loop around three (and a half-but back again) local reser's 
Mokomoko continues to be a joy- especially on those rocky descents
Got my ankle nibbled by a terrier, but hey, dog's will be dogs. Had a nice chat with the owner and exchanged stories of terrier stupidity re. trying to attack passing vans and generally being a bit f#*king daft.
Felt great to be out in the sun and the breeze- not many people about and must've covered a good distance- shame summer's nearly over already First three pic's are from the farthest point/rest break. Other two from the dam at the top of the third pond
It really is rather lovely around here when one gets off one's arse and ventures out

There's witchery about...3 days of riding in a row. Madness!
Stunning morning, barley a whiff of wind but it's from the NE so yes, those ROASTING summer temperatures are back again....12 to 13 degrees. Heavy dew so I was suitably caked, as was Bee, not long after taking a few glory snaps at Kenidjack "castle". The trails are great though, almost hero dirt, lots of grip even on the rocky sections. Not a soul about.
Cape Cornwall getting the first glimpse of morning sun:
Looking back from whence I came:
Short hike-a-bike for the money shot, a golden Bee
