Must be summer

The snow has even gone from the hills and the dafs are out so it must be summer.  Beautiful day for another 25 miles in The Chilterns.

Finally got the legs out!!

Manged a sneaky 30 miles on the bike this morning, finally manged to get out in my shorts, though don't suppose the rest of the world was so impressed. Now having peanut butter on toast. Makes it all worth while. Bring on the summer.

200 miles for the month!

What a great day!!  Really cold, (my car had frost on it) but it was really bright. and no wind. Met up with some guys who I don't normally ride with and they took me on  a new route which is always good to find.

Only managed 32 miles average 16.2 mph but this took me to 200 miles for the month!!

A new record

A good group ride, and went up the Stokenchurch cutting for the first time this year. Nearly averaged 17mph but a bad head wind for the last 4 miles put pay to that. Now where is that cake?

British summertime??

Just got back from a 30 mile ride, it was cold wet and miserable!! But now I'm home the sun has come out, so lets hope I caused that.

Half way there

50 miles in 3 hours, Pretty pleased with that. A cold day but 9 degrees warmer than last week so almost felt like summer.

The sun does still exist.

Great ride today, started with a group of about 25 riders, but when they headed for home after 36 miles I went on to total 50 miles in 3 hours. Well pleased with that.

Bring on the sun.


The weather is meant to improve this weekend, I hope to get out for a long ride on Saturday then watch the Paris to Roubaix race on Sunday which is always a spectacle.
