Frost stopped in a line across the Downs a 1/3 of the way to Brighton from Lewes. Weird.

Re: 2023 Riding, mileage and pictures
I took the 'Summer bike' out for spin,first time this year.
Since I retired 12 days ago,as well as getting out a few times on my SV650 I've been out on the mountain bike at Rivington,down the Cheshire Lines on my 'Gravel Bike' & now out on the road bike.
There's a lot to be said for retirement Makes a nice change from grabbing a hour on Zwift.

Re: 2023 Riding, mileage and pictures
Last few months have been hectic, first work and life was mental busy then, I got some savage illness, last 3 weeks and the week in the middle I couldn’t work, never had anything like it before.
Anyways that hampered my training, I am doing the London landmarks 1/2 marathon in April in memory of the mother in law who passed from cancer.
Today was my first ride in a while. Last 2 weeks I started running again to get back into it. Aiming for 3 runs and 1 cycle a week, that’s all my work and life balance will allow with out walking at 5.30am for a run.
Did 28km on the bike. 1/2 way home took a wrong turn and went down some horrible dirt road.
Great to be out again.

Re: 2023 Riding, mileage and pictures
Grey day suited my mood, c'mon spring, make an appearance. Not helped by my AXS shifter battery dying as I headed into the last climb and had to single speed it. My already creaky back is now very unhappy.

Re: 2023 Riding, mileage and pictures
More than one off today including a failure to unclip whilst losing the front end and landing in a pile of horse and going down a new trail with lots of log jumps, going big on the last one and sailing over the berm I was supposed to go round.. Idiot, look before you leap.

Re: 2023 Riding, mileage and pictures
I was planning on taking the 'Gravel bike' to the beach today,but as it started raining I've just done 52km on Zwift.
I must admit it's been a game changer since I started Zwifting a couple of years back

Re: 2023 Riding, mileage and pictures
Spent the day at BPW today with a few mates and the boy. I'm starting to see some of the teachings come into fruition and pay off I think. I was actually able to give the body position etc some thought and try and put into place what Katy wants. I wasn't caught by anyone and gapped the guys I was with after a morning of taking it a little easy. I think it went well

Re: 2023 Riding, mileage and pictures
Cheeky cycle commute, slightly under 22km, quite fun, coming home was a slog at the end, need to get back to it. Aiming for once a week.

New tyre up front for a bit more grip on the dusty singletrack.
