Today's Bike Ride

[Llani Boy]

Not able to run at the moment due to a Boxing Day calf injury so trying to keep some fitness up on the bike. Been out every day this week in January, my total mileage being 260 miles and 22,000 feet of ascent which includes Today's Bike Ride of 60 miles.
I'd much prefer to be running though so spotting some new routes from the uncomfortableness of my saddle!

The "uncomfortableness of the saddle" is due to not enough cycling; the buttock to saddle relationship requires nurturing. The more you do, the better it gets.

Mmmh. Is that the buttock talking Ian...or the saddle?

He who 'wears' the buttock, Graham.

Buttock and Saddle still squabbling as to whose in charge on Today's Bike Ride of 63 miles and 5'800 feet. Trying my best to avoid the snow showers over the Staffordshire Moorlands. Highlight of a very cold day was a Buzzard feasting on a roadkill Hare.

Keep at it LB

Still hammering away on the bike. 63 very cold miles and 5'700 feet today. Beautiful blue sky and snow covered moors and, enjoyable as it was, no where near a substitute for running!

Nice one. It takes a lot to get out on a long ride this time of year. Still managing my daily commute but have knocked the long Saturday ride on the head for a few weeks.

Out with the local CTC pensioners yesterday. A better day than forecast. A very pleasant 45 miles with 2 cafe stops, out onto the "flat as a pancake Fylde", aboard the fixie.

I won't make it to this Thursday's all day ride; but got out on today's "Tuesday morning coffee shop" ride. Managed 21 miles on the fixie. Left home in rain / sleet. Snowing (but not sticking) for the ride home, apart from the last 200 yards when it really was starting to stick. Only 3 of us at the meeting place but 2 others rode directly there - there's usually around 15!!
