Bev’s first day of cycle commuting, I did an extended pick up.  

Gave the bike a great shakedown after its Spa session at Cycle Repair Shed. Never underestimate the power of a good bike service, my bike has been off to Cycle Repair Shed this week for a Spa session and replacement cassette & chain. Stripped, greased, cleaned, replaced/reassembled and returned looking better than new. Rode it […]

Cake Stop ride with Bev, plus a little extra added on for me. Managed to get my average speed back into double figures after an auto-pause error meant I left the cafe with an average of 3mph :-)

Yet another slow and steady ride, another windy evening and dark before I got home.    

Went out in the wind today just for a slow and steady ride, I’m checking out my average speed when not pushing it in preparation for my 100 miler later in the year. Currently averaging 12-13mph in my unfit state, so if I was to do it now then worst case scenario would have me […]

Did something I don’t usually do today, I headed out when it was windy. Normally I hide from the wind but today I decided to go out and enjoy the bit where the wind was at my back, didn’t seem to find that bit even though I rode a circular(ish) route. Shorter distance than usual […]

For 15.5 miles I averaged 15mph+, the final incline killed me and my time :-( Although my Druridge&Back segment average was 15.3mph and that doesn’t include the warm up and cool down bits to and from home to the place I start all my main segments so I’m happy with that. I’m getting back some […]

Today was the first of the Cake Stop rides of myself and Bev, The Hesitant Cyclist, yup we finally got out. Bev was still a little tender after her  Roller Skating incident last week but was determined to get out on her bike so we went. She felt every little bump on the way round […]

Just a steady ride out today, not pushing it.  

Went out planning for 10 miles tonight, was too nice to turn around so carried on and did 16 :-)
