The "Photos From Today's Ride" thread...

Your gravel bike does look cool Ares and well done for getting out for such a decent ride so soon after all the rain we’ve had recently.

From my longer but easier route to work (avoiding the climbs of the Downs) yesterday. Thought the old railway line down by the river might be more water logged, but it was fine. The less used bridleways near the end which should have been ok had had some kind of JCB along them, managed to be wet and soggy and hard and bumpy all at once

Thanks! Rule #5 / Rule #9 etc....

Amazing what a nice sunrise can do for a place!

Every time I do this route I tell myself to start earlier- 55k in 2 hours means I have to push hard, and doesn't leave any contingency.

Arundel is quiet in the morning, way better than the A27

Ah, you're not far from me (I'm in Tangmere).

What's the route (and yes, Bognor looks much better in dawn's glow!)?

As a local boy born and bred, I'm not sure that's Bognor seafront in the picture.

I'll gladly be corrected! Only beaches we go to are Selsey and the Witterings as have family and friends in both.

I’d say Worthing seafront.

I grew up on Shoreham Beach, although now live in N Wales....

Yup, Steyning, Lancing, Worthing, Rustington, Arundel Amberley Storrington. Some of it on National Cycle Route 2 - it's great it exists but you need the navigational skills of Marco Polo combined with the patience of a saint to actually follow it. Add that to 4 or 5 level crossings it makes it a challenge against the clock

Not so much a photo from the ride, but got out yesterday for a quick 70mins to take my YTD distance over 25,000km.

I call a chunk of those Covid-KMs

Given we’re in Week 41 that equates to 378 miles per week or 54 miles per day, riding everyday.

Impressive....

I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but to put it into context that is an average of 2.5+ hours and 89km per day, every day for the year to date! A half decent effort that

30k is the obvious target!

Targeting the 'full'' effort by the end of the year

Overall, 125 miles, 10,500ft of climbing and 15,000ft of descending in 11 days, with another ride with a mate tomorrow to finish things (me!) off

Oh and my next bike will have a pinion gearbox

Bit of an explore around the River Neat (Giants Grave).

Local lockdowns are really hampering my routes & it’s doing my head in but I’ll stick to our boundaries.
