Around Mistley

Proud of my daughters effort today, she managed just over 28 miles from York to Selby and back on her little 20" wheeled vitus. It was all on quiet roads and paved bridleway, part of one of the national cycle routes.

Awesome effort

Still wet in the valleys although there wasn’t any rain in the last days. Well, until it started to rain again in the afternoon

One of the best bits about messing about with old bikes is that first ride on a new build. Today's ride was a test ride of a build I completed this morning...taken a while this one, mainly trying to track down the right stem...Ride was local, a 7km circuit... in case I have to walk back home at any point

Today's ride was a 70 mile jaunt from Sheffield to Accrington using the transpennine trail. Found it very tough going as I've not done that kind of distance for a while .

A road ride today—I seem to be doing more and more road riding—but I needed to conserve some energy for an afternoon of childminding, so not too far: about 30 miles. Still, it was a pleasant day, pleasant countryside, and with pleasantly little traffic on the roads.

I stopped for a drink at a favourite hamlet and, lo and behold, an older gentleman (He said his children are in their sixties, so I guess he's in his eighties.) pulled up on a 1990s' carbon-bonded Specialized Allez Epic, clad in Campy this, that and the other. I commented on what a nice bike it was and he said he prefers titanium and his latest bike is an Enigma! After a pleasant little chat about bikes, and a rather sad chat about dementia, we went our separate ways. I always like seeing senior riders enjoying their rides though; that little chat was the highlight of my day.

50 mile loop to visit the epic Rudston standing stone. Some nice old Roman road now green lane/bridleway (although lots of it unkempt and big RD pressed into gardening duties …) Refilled our water bottles in the “Gypsy Race”: gorgeous chalk stream that mysteriously disappears underground in dry years (flowing fast and full this year).

Nice one!
I did the same yesterday. I love a set of new tires but they are still so sticky that I got bombarded with dust and gravel everytime I left the asphalt, most of it ended up in my shoes....
