First ride of the year in shorts this morning, and nice it was too!

Managed to get a 50 in on the road. Doing a cross wales(Barmouth to Shifnal) jaunt in a couple of weeks, so i'm trying to get some miles into my legs.

I might even put the semi slicks on the mtb tomorrow!

WHAT?! I only put my dry tyres on for a few weeks every year. The rest of the time i'm on the mud pluggers.

Was going to go for a shove / ride on my DH bike tonight, first post-work ride of the year...

Just started sleeting / raining....

Still might go, but not idea conditions to bed in new brakes and relearn to ride a bike that's not seen the light of day since May last year...

I had a few mates up this weekend to do some riding. Saturday was amazing and really did feel like summer had arrived. Sunday was rank and we didn't do that much. I also cycled the road bike to work today. That was a bad decision.

Back in longs and overshoes for this evening's ride!

Seems reports of summer were a little premature........

What a stupid idea that was. Just been out and was slipping and sliding all over the place!

Weather forecast keeps changing up here. Can't decide between Innerleithen or Whinlatter for tomorrow afternoons ride, whichever is drier!
