Thank you JohnK Although I'm traditional and have the 508 timetable printed out to stick to my fridge!

Took the gravel bike out to test the tyres for problems (like going flat), out and back was 24k and 670m. Tyres being much narrower I was a bit...

Presumably one would be purchasing a First Class ticket for £6, with complementary refreshments - luncheon perhaps? :cool:

I haven't been through Wootton, but I once rode along the little lane from Ellastone to Stanton. It's really delightful, going along a secluded...

Looks like you're moving to the wrong mountains for bus travel, Travs: it's only £2 to Pen y Pass from as far away as Llanrwst.

Yes - £6 - that is the cheapest ticket. But you can go a lot further for not much more.

Here you go Travs :- ...

Tried something different today; put the bike in my mum's car and drove to just off the A515 close to Hoar Cross and rode North from there. Down the...

When you said they'd knocked off £500 I almost choked! That's just over twice the £249 I paid, new, for my last bike. Mind you, it's only got a...

Using the bus pass from Kendal/Ambleside to Keswick or vice - versa then running back over Clough Head etc to Ambleside makes a good outing, I...

I got my free bus pass just a week or 2 before the first lockdown, and have yet to use it. My partner recently walked from Ambleside down to Claife...

Finally got around to ordering my new road bike (I don't have a road bike), been trying for near 12 months but with everywhere out of stock and not...

Fantastic route. There's a bus service from my village through Glenridding/Patterdale/Kirkstone/Troutbeck, so looking forward to some linear...

14.82 miles, 4,304 feet, 4 hours 43 minutes: Fairfield c/w, including down to Grisedale Tarn, and back up over Cofa Pike. Sunshine and clouds, no...

Another 78 miles walked in the last week. Back to the physio yesterday who has given me the go ahead to start cycling again as long as it is on...

Thank you WP.... a look at the official results and i was only 12/100ths of a second behind the winner, so was even closer than i thought at the...

and again. His Day two win showed an incredible turn of speed in the last 150m. He took about 3-4 bikes lengths out of Philipsen.

well done on the 1500 Travs - just picked up on it.

Every garden needs a theme. I think yours might be unique.

Six house martins today. Chirruping above the house.

Club night and an interesting session. 4x 200mtrs. 3 x 1mile 4x 200mtrs Unfortunately I'm still in pieces from Sundays race, not to mention...

Well, I'll report back in 3 weeks after the practical test on Kirkstone!

My son has just bought himself an e-scooter, and he was told that the Police take a sensible attitude, i.e. they will only stop you on an e-scooter...

I think that the legislators have made a pigs ear of the legislation in relation to e-bikes and e-scooters both of which are limited to a speed of...

When I was a young child at school the only thing I ever won on our school sports days, was the 100 yard slow bicycle race. I can see where I am...
