Where has your bike taken you today?

Nice easy spin with a 'reward' at the end ... stuck to my ride every day of December and single speed only. 

After the last 2 crappy years (22/23) on the bike I'm pretty chuffed with how this year went. It's not the numbers so much as the increase over last year that makes me smile. 

I walk in the door and my wife asks 'so how was it?'

I say 'I should probably take a rest day tomorrow'

Her response 'ja ja ja Ben whatever!' ... knows me too well 😎

Well done!! Those increases from 2023 are numbers you should be chuffed with.

Final ride for 2024. Not an easy one, for me. But I felt like the coffee and cake (thanks A) was deserved. 

On to 2025 and whatever it holds.

Hilton forest. Really good to be out of the oppressive Durban humidity. The shade was an added bonus

I cycled past Etham College last week bang into this. Was a pleasant surprise, albeit a bit muddy.

Went for another cycle down the Downs link to Brighton. It was icy cold so frozen fingers for most of the way but glorious sunshine and a bunny and pint at the other end made it all worthwhile. Hard going and the crunch under wheel of the frost was a constant companion. Had a hard fall too  at one point, but alas, all part of the experience. Rain and snow predicted for weekend so just had to do it. Great day out. All in about 75 kays.
