Took the new gravel bike out for a spin this morning at 7am, new route which is mainly road based. wasn't wise as it was mainly up hill and had done deadlifts and squats at the gym the day before.
Mind you, I find pretty much all of my rides are mainly up hill, even when I do them the other way around, which is weird
Pitch hill on the stumpy this morning.
Newlands on the Tarmac this evening.
Pikes have a 160mm shift in them now, feel really good. Much better at dealing with the stuff around pitch hill etc.
First time up Newlands, was hard going but my legs were burning even on the flats from Pitch. A cautious descent towards Gomshall and strava put me at 49.9mph, wahoo with a speed sensor at 48. Quite pleased with that. I always try give roadies loads of room to descend on Newlands but I had some bell sniff up my arse the way down
Coombe Lane was awful. Almost as bad as the s
t I was climbing in Lucca, Italy a few weeks ago.

A fairly laid back ride up to Paxon's Tower today. (20-odd km, 440m climbing, 1hr 9min)
Temp just about in double figures when I left, very blustery; I tried an Alpkit merino long-sleeve cycling top I actually bought (on sale) as a mid-layer for hiking a couple of years back... It was a little warm at the start of the ride, unzipped and sleeves pushed up, but zipped up, sleeves back down and showing itself a good choice by the end, as the wind is definitely blowing colder air in.
It was a little hazy today for the best views up and down the Tawe valley from the Tower, but I played with my new phone and there are a few more pics including my first bash or two at a "photo sphere"... you can find them here if you're interested; the bottom one is best
Did a 70km ride on Sat from Mertert (Lux) along the Moselle to Sierck-les-Bains (France), for coffee, as you do, and back again.
Friends own a large place in SLB, which is AirBnB and a weekend party venue. The ongoing restoration is an expensive labour of love ...
There’s a mint 1989 Rolls Royce behind those doors, which Laurent bought and used daily in London before returning south.
Sunday, I did another 70km, accompanied for half of that with Mr Loudlashadjuster, also of this parish.
In Senningerberg there’s a no cycling sign, on the cycle route...
A bunch of cocks ....
And cheating by using the funicular instead of a long climb up from Pfaffenthal to Kirchberg.
Tomorrow, interval training along the Moselle. Eek.

Highland cattle 2. by Andy B., on FlickrA ride up to one of my local nature reserves and then past the Highland cattle munching on the nice lush grass, in the sunshine. Lovely day but the wind made it hard going. 20 miles today.
