One day I hope to shake off my competitive nature and enjoy the scenery a bit more hehe

Overall 4mins faster than 2022, no idea how, 4kg heavier, poor training and prep. Bloody hell it was cold leaving Inverness!
Ah this was my first, so I deliberaty paced myself, probably too much as I feel I could have went a bit quicker. Loved the west side, and also oddly quite enjoyed the climb.

I found the last 10 miles or so a real slog, just wanted to get it over with!

Apologies for the st photo... But look... Sun! And dry-ish trails woohoo



So nice to be able to ride properly flat out again without fear of washing out the front on wet roots or clay.

Amazing what a bit of dry weather MTB can do for your mood.

Still sunny today, so heading this arvo. Taking the eeb to maximise the downs.

At least the sandy Surrey soil dries much faster than the clay ste we get up here.

Cycle from W Sussex to local(ish) station then train to Eastleigh then cycle to Bristol, mainly on route 24 but an excursion over Salisbury plains (mistake as much if it had large puddles/mud!)

Thanks, it's a Kingdom Vendetta frame (Ti). I previously had a Stanton, steel Slackline. Both great frames.

Sick to the hind teeth of the wind this year, it’s just never ending, so decided to ride with the tailwind in to Glasgow and just take the train home.

Little detour to the transport museum, mostly to use the free conveniences if I’m honest hehe

Thought I would do a good deed and report some fly tipping, turns out it was reported in early February but Glasgow City Council clearly cba doing anything about it.

Solo ride yesterday in Luxembourg
53 km / 374 m / 1h 59m

On the Moselle, swans in the background



Stopped for a coffee at a gas station after the 3.3km long climb out of Grevenmacher, and had a bunch of old Citroëns turn up, including 2 immaculate HY vans….









Quite a gusty wind yesterday, so I’m pleased with my result biggrin

Beautiful bike. I like the fact that you went straight for the 36. Looks like 150mm?

I also run 36s, albeit not as posh as yours, on the Ragley and while it looks a bit over forked I just love how they turn in.
