Where has your bike taken you today?

Spring has indeed arrived, we have been blessed with perfect mild riding weather

Not good if you suffer from hayfever

 

 

 

The Storks have arrived (apologies for the blurred pic)

Had a weird ride yesterday. Switched my garmin to a screen with only speed and then just enjoyed exploring trails for a couple of hours. No stressing about Hr, power, ave speed or anything, just focusing on the sun shine and the joy and privilege of being out on my bike.

 

This can make such a big difference.

I was starting to feel like the joy was going recently as I kept pushing for faster times etc. I went out the other day just to enjoy the view and outdoors and it all felt awesome again (and I still finished with a pretty decent time).

As Swissvan mentioned, we had absolutely brilliant weather the last couple of days and this over easter weekend.  I sure made good use of it.

 

On Good Friday, the Mrs and myself went on a relaxed ride with the mountain bikes in our area.

 

 

Then on Saturday I went for my first 100 km ride this season.  It was wonderfull.

 

 

And then on Easter Monday just as some rain clouds started moving in did a quick 50 km ride.  Wind was not so nice but what does not kill you makes you stronger they say ...

That looks Amazing!

VERY few bikes ride like a C40. Some fall in love with its look (pun intended) but ALL fall in love with its ride! 

Agreed

 

Mine is a special bike - almost had it for 20 years now. Bought it new from Alan in 2001. Has a 10 speed Campag record groupo on it that is original - think i changed a couple of clusters as i got older and slower and a small chain ring as well.  It's still a hard ride from the stiffness of the carbon. I want to get its paint job touched up when i can afford to and keep it for the occasional ride.

You guys will have to entertain us with fresh pictures while we are sentenced to ride IDTs. Keep up the good work.

Took a spin in awesome weather today. Them country roads.

 

I did stay within the 2km radius of our home as required.

[Bateleur1]

So after a long day of home office, it was time to go on a sunset ride with the MTB and explore some dirt road in our area that I have never been on before.  We had some cold and rainy weather that passed us on Monday evening and yesterday the ride was in 4 degrees much colder than the weekend.

 

 

Some nice easy to ride dirt roads along canals and the Loisach river.  Think I need to pass here with the wife.  It is not technical at all and easy to ride

 

Fresh snow on the mountains caught by some late afternoon sun

Thought to myself today, to hell with this IDT riding, I'll go for a nice little session outside. Dragged the dumb trainer and old Techniclour Dreamcoat into the backyard and tried to do a short sharp interval session. Except that Stella decided it was time to play and it ended up an easy half hour of spinning and throwing toys for her to fetch while talking over the wall to the neighbour who is now bored out of his skull after having fixed all that needed fixing on his house.
