On Sunday I did 275 miles, though that was on my motorbike from Dumfries back to home.

Did 55 miles yesterday, from home over to the Malvern Hills (to a pub for lunch) then home via Worcester for a cup of tea, and an accidental bit of gardening in my road shoes…

Was forced into a 2 mile stretch of tow path, though my aksiums dont look out of shape today which is a relief.

New headset bearing going in later, and also need to sort a gremlin in the front mech – somtimes the chain doesnt move across far enough to sit on the lower chain ring, usually at the worst possible time when going up hills. Rather annoying. Still, it didnt ruin what was a splendid day.

The weather permitted and the house didn’t explode today so I actually managed to get out and cycle!

A nice 70+ miles taking in a hill I’ve never ridden before around my way. It was really quite a decent climb and one I’ll be visiting again.

I’m hatching a cunning plan to ride the Beacons again next weekend, the missus is bound to be wise to it, she just lets me believe I’m getting away with stuff…

Went up Tissington and High peak trails fro a metric century. Felt heavy legged though:-(

Amazed how many cyclists were out maybe in many cases first ride of the year – all over the trail they were. But I see it as a positive that pople were out on bikes. Would have gone on road but roads were wet and best bike would have got dirty!

cotswold spring classic was good, it eases you in for about 30km before the sawtooth profile kicks in. no long climbs but they’re all really steep, didn’t use the granny much but i was glad i had it on one of the climbs 🙂

after that, a flattish run in for the last 30km. sort of a game of three halves.

the real test is on thurs this week though: 126 miles, a two pointer 👿 👿 not sure i’ll make it to the end though…

42 x 16t and a very relaxing 3 1/2 hours door to door. Got the Train back because we didn’t leave until mid afternoon. I’ve never actually cycled from Brighton back to London the climbs must be longer but less steep which would suit my single gear. I think I might give it a go next weekend?

Today was a wash out, it’s rained all day and I have been on house repair duties. That’s the century out of the window!

I’m hoping for better weather and no more electrical emergencies in the house tomorrow, maybe I’ll get to have a descent ride in the morning…
