Today's Ride

Blimey - yesterday’s Today’s Ride…

I mentioned with some surprise that I intuitively was running the new Magic Mary in the front at 14 Psi but then I found this:

Mountain Bike Tire Pressure - How Many PSI Is Needed?

Getting tire pressure right is super important for Mountain Bike riders. Too much and you have no grip, too little and the tires will drag.

Which suggests my intuition was right. I’d been running around 20 before…and this is a big and positive change….

Roll back the clock to mtb racing in 90s … check Onza 2.1s or Ground Controls are up to 35 psi - all good… let’s go …

A little local Langdon lillipad loop, the farmers field downhill was immense fun, the climb back up to the trail in the baking sun? less so….this is why

Quicky around scout moor this evening. Proper golden hour

Summer is here, let's pray it continues. Yesterday early evening, a toasty 24 degrees, solid blue skies and golden sunshine, complete with proper sweaty arms. What's not to like? Took Red 5 for a spin whilst Bee is in for a long overdue service. She may be a little flexy but she's capable, especially on descents.

Gave @raidan73 a wave (he's down there), you should too 'cause he's a bit under the weather at the mo. Get well soon dude!

so, I was looking at this through the window of my (home) office all day long.

it was obvious what's next.

autumn is my favourite season, ideal for SSing.

sorry for my cloud-craziness, I hope it doesn't bore you too much.

The weather is lovely come evening time. Way too hot during the day. Went through my local woodlands and did my rounds by the coast and now I'm home cooking up a very late beef roast.

Beautiful @Imlach

No photos but commuted 3 times this week. Nice 50 miles-ish in the bag, in seering heat. Feeling fairly fit at the moment!
