I told the wife I was replacing the road lid
she said no, use the mtb one
I said its too old to use for the road
she said ok, you need to get a new one then.

it was the easiest way for her let let me get a new lid now and not in 2 months time.
So now you can't ride because you lied to your wife ?

At last, I've managed to get out on the MTB. It feels like I haven't ridden for 6 months, because I haven't and confidence is loooooow :(

the good thing is that the trail pixies have been very very busy, the trails are awesome and I've just ridden 5 that I've never ridden before :clap:

and I found this tree, It must be the biggest tree I've ever seen

If I'm in the county then game on, however, we are looking at heading to south wales visiting family for a few days. we'll have to see how that particular date pans out but we can certainly do a weekend sometime after :thumbup:


edit - high command has just told me that if we do go up to wales it will be on the 12th :banana-dance:

7 hours done this week which is nice. Found a spicy climb from the nuclear place up to the ridgeway. Might use that as my new benchmark!

Pretty sure I'll have ridden it. Is it the grassy one or the chalky one?

21 mile road ride today on the MTB in 1 Hr 29min . Makes a change for it not to be pissing down with rain or blowing a hooly. Finally hit that time of year that the winter thermal top is just about too warm now so change coming to the thinner one for Spring riding and back to summer fingerless gloves :thumbup:

18.4 Miles and 2400ft of climbing today, wrong tyres as its drying out fast and wrong shoes as it was warmer than expected.
