Kingfisher, fox and a Jay

Ride 46 of 100

Out of work bang on the bell, heading west into the sun.

Turned at Warrington and headed back east.

Lights on, clear skies meant darkness soon came.

3 hours worth, legs pooped now.

Pizza and tea.

Happy.

Change of plan

Ride 44 of 100

The planned road ride turned into a mud festival, down to the sea (not the seaside, just the sea) grinding through trails made into porridge filled with weetabix, gears clicking and clacking away, surprised I didn't snap the chain, got to Spike Island and the rain came.

Looking up at the sky and wondering where the others were by now, probably having tea and crumpets by now.... stuffed a gel down, starting to finally be able to swallow these things and feel the benefit, turned around and headed back, 50 miles of notalotofpleasure done.

Squishy under tyre

Ride 43 of 100

The mud has come back, although the trails are already been sucked up by the trees, retraced this morning steps through the woods but didn't hang about as I took the underpants hanging from the trees as a warning !.

All through the ride all I could think about was tonights curry and tomorrows road ride.

Frosty under tyre

Ride 42 of 100

Long way to work, crunchy trails rocked, weak sun peeping over the trees, Gooseanders courting, new Singletrack jersey makes me smile all the way there.

The evening sun

Ride 41 of 100

The long way home, in the fading sunlight, so pleasant to feel the warm rays on your face.

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros on repeat

Spin, spin spin

each pedal stroke making me stronger

Cocteau Twins

Ride 40 of 100

Bluebeard, couldn't get the tune out of my head all ride, foggy, sunny foggy, muddy.

Are there some signs of spring happening ?
