Re: Todays ride
Very enjoyable day out on the bike yesterday, a kind of a "back to it" Audax ride. It was the White Horses 200, lovely route from Bristol on the Bristol to Bath cycle route, then the Two Tunnels Greenway, which was good fun, over towards Marlborough via several, yep you guessed it, white h...

Re: Todays ride
Weekend in the black mountains and Hay. Very enjoyable riding, pretty wet and boggy in places, especially bridleways in the valleys, but they were still good fun. First long rides on 'proper' terrain with the Cotic and it was very good, made any descending lots of fun, and coped admirably with all ...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Now let's see how much of a story I can spin out of a bivvy so local it would tbh have been just as quick to have walked rather than cycled it :grin: Our Reg had announced that he would be visiting these here parts for a few days in October, and invited himself round for a cuppa, a few beers and biv...

Yay it's Cheery Friday :-bd I have survived a cold and a little spooky graveyard bivvy with Reg, in admittedly quite luxurious accommodation. The squeaky gate and a some odd goings on on the roof by some as yet unidentified creatures kept us awake quite a bit ... An excellent evening and great to ge...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Right, off on the train for a few days wandering aimlessly round the more, er, colourful parts of the fab Welsh Valleys. Three changes of train on the way, what could possibly go wrong. Then again, who cares :smile: . Bit toasty in these fleece leggings today but it's apparently going to be 1degC t...

...was lovely. But yesterday's ride is the one I wanted to talk about... So I'm in the beautiful Pyrenees again at the moment, third time as a cycling based trip. Where I'm staying is in a valley, and the only way out in any direction really is up a Col. Pretty big mountains, so to go further is kin...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
I seem to be in the process of being adopted by a rather sweet all white cat, which is hanging around the house and garden lots, and which I'm told is wild/ownerless. Risky with a greyhound....but she seems to not have noticed him or her yet, as too close I think and not moving ... I read somewhere...

Let me know if you're definitely going, and I'll rejoin the tradition with you - when is it again? ( She asks, lazily...) I’m down to be on nights that weekend - 16th November - but it’s still do-able if I can get the time off. Won’t know until tomorrow. Fingers crossed. :grin: Ah, I'm double booke...
