The sun arrived...cold but good...the mud..the slippery bits..the lack of grip..the spill landing spot that you see..another day.. the lack of the hardtail..let's keep smiling today

..I sometimes ask for a reason to own and cycle bikes..today ...two conversations..a bike collected after some work done..poor..another issue not resolved..but then being lucky to have a bike...others not so lucky as me..I need to ride bikes to remove stress and try and be a good human..gives me time...sometimes that is what we need...

We follow the sun...it's out...Gentle ride on the full suss...the hardtail needs a bit of work done...

very true....

...anything but sit on the turbo trainer..last spin during this break...will be glad of better weather...the mud is sticky...bike taking the strain.. this bike is great...getting older but great fun ...

my chain set etc are weeping as I type this....trying to keep the gear clean is tricky as...

The mud...the mud of January...intermittent bike riding..2 evening rides in a row...always makes you feel better...no rain or wind today...winter here has been long...

thank you...this is brilliant advice and experience being shared...

UK has this eternal gloom at the moment...if I see sunshine I will let you all know to book your holidays here..😀..it's a bit grim but the Xmas season has got me out for a few rides around family and work...

Better weather here on Christmas Eve...quick spin...away from the maddening crowded areas...nice to be here for a while...Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate...enjoy the break if you can Signing off Daveno7

Contemplation...an hour away...my time

No summer up north....time to reset in different ways...grab the bike time when you can...and even the cold afternoons raises a smile or two..

Winter....here we are ...nice evening...quick ride out ...have a great weekend all...

The joy of the bike ride....total worthwhile effort

The way to dismiss the grey cloudy sky vibes...coffee anyone ?
