Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
One of my favourite rides. Especially in that direction!Originally Posted by Graham Breeze
Woo-hoo! 52 miles on Sunday and 51 yesterday - what did I ever see in that fell running lark?
Maybe my next planned struggle up Buttertubs Pass will remind me of the suffering

Have you seen that Billy Bland chappie on Strava thing, knocks off 250 miles a week regular as clockwork. If he can do it, so can you and I .........or maybe not! He's even 5 years older than me.

Yep. I have reviewed Steve Chilton's biography for The Fellrunner.
But Billy gave up fell running way, way before I did to sit on a saddle; despite being younger

Local Otley girl goes large at the Course - Go Lizzie. You may get as famous as your Dad, John - MV60 Three Peaks winner!
My longest ride yesterday, usual mix of tarmac and forestry, 41 miles with 5100ft ascent. Managed a 100+mile week so pleased but legs a little stiff!

About 36 miles, out to the West beyond Ashby-de-la-Zouch, so I had a tailwind coming back. Stopped for a short walk in Willesley Wood, which I had helped to plant about 30 years ago.
In his lifetime he suffered from unreality, as do so many Englishmen.

Due to persistent hamstring problems I have decided to stop running for a month, so back on the bike.
My first road ride since June was 30 miles and 2'800 feet in 2hr 4min.
A lovely ride on a glorious day, out to Youlgreave, Mill Dale and Wetton returning via Hartington and Monyash.
I'd almost forgotten that cycling is nearly as enjoyable as running!
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
