daisy joined me this evening for a local steady ride. First time she's ridden for a while and did quite well, gave her my old garmin sk she can watch speed and distance. Not the best way to encourage the sprog to ride but hey, if not worked haha.

After strong winds and a lot of rain during the week, there was some brighter weather this weekend, so I made the most of it. Still pretty breezy in built-up areas, over the farm land strong gusts whipped across the fields and made the first dozen miles or so of yesterday afternoon's ride a bit of a slog. But the wind was at my back along the seafront and, later on, the woods provided some calm.




Today's ride was a quick, early evening riverside blast at the end of a lovely spring day. It was mild enough for shorts even at 7.00 pm.

My stepson's ParkPre Mountain Comp pub cruiser has been languishing in the garage for some time as I haven't had the opportunity to deliver it to him in Melbourne. Today on a whim I took it out for a test ride -- really just to find out how the big, fat Maxxis Hookworm tyres perform.

The frame is quite heavy -- plain gauge Cromo I think -- but those balloon tyres provide a lot of shock absorption and grip just fine on dry gravel. With low gears and wide Surly Sunrise bars, it's quite a nice mount for a sunny cruise. I hope the boy likes it when he eventually gets his hands on it.

Went for a ride with my son. We stopped at the park to further attempt at burning off his endless energy.

3 back to back days of saddle action thanks to not much wind and generally favourable conditions.

Saturday was a bit sloppy on top of the moors but really quiet and if you squinted hard enough "warm"...in reality it was about 7-8 degrees with a slight chill in the air, but with elevation comes internal heat. I managed to almost ruin my nice new (Jake) Snake long sleeved top I did get to Botallack mine cafe just before closing time which was a result.

Yesterday was a really quiet loop down to Newlyn, Mousehole (best time to be there is early morning before anyone wakes up), Paul through Drift to Sancreed. It was cooler than predicted, with a dense cloud around Sancreed, but again, elevation means warmth!

This morning, well, very low cloud in spots, dense fog in places, then clear as a bell a few metres up the road. Between 3 and 9 degrees, it was pretty wild Very gentle easterly breeze, and where it was clear, lovely golden sunshine. I felt like I was skirting in and out of Bespin without Billy Dee Williams.

Magic!

Hookworms are great tires. That's a nice setup, like that build
