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

[remedy]

Fording 1.5ft flowing water.

This was a road bike, BTW. Photo taken after I'd pushed through as I saw it as I was descending the hill and the choice was to get a lot wet or a bit wet. Got clean overshoes but very wet feet.

Relatively mild here yesterday afternoon. Pic before the soul destroying mud...

[DailyHack]

A very wet and cold 50km+ on the "cheap in comparison to some" roadie this morning.

Lovely comfortable bike, nice to smash some Strava times on this poverty bike! All about the engine etc...





Same goes with this vintage '81 steel I have, passed a few serious rigs on this aswell...few grunts as I passed, but the fact we are all riding, that's the main thing

Yesterday afternoons ride..

Managed to venture outdoors today, good way to see off the last of January’s 500km target.

Legs were heavy after last nights TdZ but kept on churning, wasn’t a great plan choosing a route with a monster hill on it

Switched from Enduro to road riding today to burn off the Friday night beers calories. Beautiful morning for it and plenty of fellow MAMILS out around the port in Funchal (a 3.5km flat circuit which is great for time-trialling).

Obviously looking for speeders... well, I didn't disappoint! I hit the 70->30 transition at 43 mph.


Now this is where the fun begins... but downhill, with a tailwind, I maintained a very good pace, until I was off onto the A35.

Last resting place of one of the few remaining S3 Suicide Lanes in the country.

Interesting stem and bar set up!

One of our group got a puncture this morning, so we all helped as best we could...

Yeah, has a riser stem for more comfort/touring giving a slightly more upright ride

The bars rotation is a little odd - you'd usually have it rotated anticlockwise until the top of the bend was parallel to the ground. Levers shifted further round the bend.

However, to do that now would mean a rewrap of the bar tape which isn't difficult but is a pain. It'd likely provide more comfortable and numerous hand positions on the bar.

To be fair, there was no shortage of advice and observations being offered - we were forthcoming with our collective knowledge...

And panning to the left, this was the view...

Ride out to the farmers market to get all my food for the week.

Labrador Bay’s assembled cruise ships including Arcadia this morning.

First proper ride on my Whyte 905

Interesting, thanks for that, I am actually thinking of a longer stem anyway, so will see about the bar rotation aswell, thanks for the heads-up, I did find myself on the bars alot trying to get a comfortable position

I've got family in Bovey Tracey so I know the roads around Honiton quite well. Don't think I'd risk the A35 on a bike though!

Eurgh.

It's a bit wet on my "Too wet to ride in the woods" urban loop.
