Good to be out.

That could pass for Scotland. Weather here is mega at the moment.

Fingers crossed for similar weather to last year - glorious spring with hardly any rain.

You'll have venture south and try some of the Sutton Bank (hood Hill) and yearsley trails.

You told me off before for always heading to Sutton !
I took the Jet Track as a great reminder. Used to hit that on the old Spec Hard Rock 30 years ago !
Good loop, 30mi and heaving with road bikes today

Sun's out, new bike behaved, and the trails have dried out. 25 miles done.

Glorious

45k down to Llanelli North Dock and back. Felt great, all the Zwifting over the winter has really helped my legs, but average speed on this mixed use path still knocked down a lot by frequent near-stops while various dogs/toddlers etc are sorted out of the way

New pedals fine, new glasses great

It's a little past the bank... Here...

Well worth a trip now the trails are drying.

I bet it felt night and day easier on the ebike, geo 30 years ago was twitchy as hell.

Apologies for not being strictly in compliance with the thread description but am so made up over finally breaking this distance barrier I am showing and telling anyone I can find!!

For an overweight middle aged leisure cyclist I'm well proud of achieving it on this loop yesterday

Glorious sunny day and SO many cyclists and runners out it felt like a community outing!!

That’s fully in keeping! Good work!

Great work - you should’ve kept going, though...

If you go a bit further, the mendips are scenic... but you can take the strawberry line and avoid the worst of the hills too!

The end of my longest ever ride went in that direction...


The blackdowns would also be stunning on a nice day (my last long ride before this weekends went out that way, both sub 100k. I've been struggling quite a bit with the distance of late).


Some good cycling territory around this part of the world.

Another 40 ish km around Budapest today.

Where about? Haven't been there for a couple of years now, very eager to get there with the bikes when we get the chance next.

Yesterday. Danube, heading to Szentendre

Try going towards Visegrad next time, it is a beautiful place.

[Johnny]

I ride to Visegrad, and Esztergom, quite often. For shorter rides just up to Szentendre is a decent ride. Especially with the new bike lane. Multiple ways of getting to Visagrad, either Danube side up from Szentendre, or via Dobogókő from Szentendre if more climbing is wanted.

For a quick blast I just head to Margit Island for some laps, which is close to where is live and enables me to get some training in during the work day.

Margit is flat though! My wife is from there, so normally fly there every year, but never took any of the bikes with me (no space in the flat). I am very curious about the new bike lane now, I'm very tempted to rent something next time I'm there.

Here's some more then!

3 degrees at the start, just about dressed to cope. When it got to 11, not so good!

40km ride out to Chester this morning (coffee on the Dee) on the single speed, loving this so much, working me so hard, my fitness has hit the roof!

I am actually contemplating selling my geared road bike, just sitting getting unused now, just love the simplicity of it all! - Hills don't even scare me nomore, just stand and dig in!

...and no I don't have a beard...yet

Cheers. Actually me and my riding mate were actually considering pushing further on after reaching Bridgwater on that same route and going to Burnham as the next step onwards.

Casual 19 mile ride today cut through town because where I live it really is surrounded by nice waters and views:



And then rode past this street and just had to get a pic, which one of you lot lives here then

60 odd km yesterday, with a creaking BB from 20km on. Not too annoying. First pic was taken on the Moselle at Ehnen.




Happy with my overall pace, being only my 2nd ride out this year.



Got home and removed my BB. Replacing it today. It was an utter bd to remove!

Not me, I've already established where I live.
