Back to riding with kids, though. I always wore a helmet when out with my boys, especially with the eldest, as he really did not want to wear one, and I couldn't justify my pro-helmet stance if I didn't play the part of role model...

That's pretty much my point. The role model angle for kids that are small.

Photo location? Virginia Water?

Nothing strenuous today, just a nice relaxing jaunt down the Kennet and Avon Canal from Devizes to Bradford-upon-Avon and back with my wife and kids. Glorious!

And tights? Have you gone mad? Look at that sky. Break out the bibshorts

Shoreham harbour

Nice! I was on the bike both days this weekend, heading out from Shoreham to Steyning on Saturday, and a slight detour just before Bramber on Sunday to climb the big hill I've driven past thousands of times but never tackled

View at the top was great!



I'm feeling I should probably upgrade from my commuter/hybrid to something a bit more trail friendly soon!

Quick play in the woods:

Yesterday I was booked in to cycle a 200k audax. I was up at 5:00am and had breakfast, organised my gear and packed the car and then checked the forecast. Rain and 40mph winds, the rain wasn't a problem but the wind was and I left it until 7:00am before checking the weather again in case there was any changes. Sadly there wasn't so I decided to pull out at the eleventh hour and spent the day at home where I did 10 miles on the turbo trainer and managed to squeeze 10 miles in on the fixed gear bike at 8:00pm last night when things had calmed down.

Today was a different story though
After yesterdays atrocious weather the sun was shining here and the wind had dropped to around 14mph so I managed to get a nice 63 miles in. Glasgow to Mugdock, Lennoxtown, Kilsyth, Tak Ma Doon, Carron Valley, lunch at Fintry, Killearn, Croftamie, Jamiestown, Alexandria, Dumbarton and home.

Raleigh Titanium? Love it. Just getting a pair of those brakes fitted on my Merlin daily, to match my Cannondale F800.

Yep, a 1996 M-Trax Team Edition, it's a cracking bike to ride & a lot of fun

Hope Mountain near my home village in N Wales. Views back over Chester and the Peckforton Hills in the distance.

It just about qualifies as a mountain as it's just a bit higher than 1000 ft!

Is that the pass into Val D'Allos?

It's the road that takes you from the bottom of the Col d'Ornon to Oulles - a proper old fashioned type Alpine climb rarely used by anyone, but hellishly steep. Here's a bit more detail on the climb.
