Today's Ride

Lovely morning for a ride, started off thinking it might be a little chilly but quickly warmed up to 20degC. The wind has finally changed direction so it was mostly a tailwind home too...




Nothing special about the scenery, except that (having cycled past here for decades)
I only discovered last year that my great,great,great,great,great grandfather farmed these fields and my great,great,great,great grandmother was born here in 1791. Their house is sadly no longer standing but you can still see the outline of it on a satellite view, in the garden of a much more recent house built to replace it.

Finally got this one rideable... (disc brakes were a real faff! Or maybe I'm not used to them? ) anyway. I very nice ride around my local, in which spring is well and truly sprung!!


A few too many spacers on the steerer which I still need to cut - I fear I might like the elevated bars too much though!!


Loads of chicks in the park (feathered variety, mainly) Egyptian Goose, I think.



You not actually allowed to ride in this bit - so this photo is 'Today's Walk'


15km - 17C, no wind, nice and warm in the sun - first T-shirt ride of the year!!! (I don't like the cold )

Patchy sunshine with cold wind today -- not much to write home about (or indeed here), but went for a 35k 'easy' ride on the Kona Jake. As ever, the wind was stronger outside town than it seemed at first, and it was definitely bringing a chill factor with it.

Still, autumn colours are in full swing and the roads were quiet, so it was good to be out and active.

Have you got Jake dialed in now? Looks like it

Very still, just a breath of E wind, 3mph or so. Chilled 8 degrees, rising to 9. Some high broken cloud with patches of clear skies and sunshine. Hazy in the east, clear in the west. After almost 8 hours of driving to and back from Bristol and a handsome 3 points, it was great to stretch the legs.



Zoom in to see one of many, many fresh batches of bunnies. They were everywhere this morning

All psyched up to do a longer, more hilly ride this morning, sunny 10c, no wind, what could go wrong. Mrs Winjohn's friend was feeling a bit under the weather, dosed up with antibiotics but still wanted to ride...if it was a shortish one. So plan B, 25k ride instead of 35 but still a nice early start at 7am to miss any traffic. It was a beautiful morning and this time of year lots of blossom around to delight the senses.
