Bateleur1 Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 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 BenReaper, The Ghost, SwissVan and 5 others 8
DJR Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 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.

At least it feels like outdoors for the warm up to my gym session. We are now doing a Zwift coffee ride once a week with the group. You do 24 kms round London with a stop at 12 kms to go and get a cup of coffee. You need to send a photo in to the Whatsapp group of you and your coffee. Its actually quite a lot of fun. I will NEVER miss an opportunity to ride outside again. I have vowed i will, from release from lockdown, ride through the whole of winter. DJR, fanievb, Jakkals. and 3 others 6

[emoji106]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 ... I have just copied this, was meant to reply but to add to your post will be sufficient. And we Saffas need to cycle either on an idt on around and around our yards like a headless chicken. I think most of us won't mind wind now if we only could get out riding on roads, gravel or tar and in the bushes. DJR, Bateleur1 and BenReaper 3
Ozzie NL Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Took a spin in awesome weather today. Them country roads. I did stay within the 2km radius of our home as required.So you can do a 12.5 km loop.....lucky bastard

Has been great hearing the birds in the mornings and getting some wind to cool me down.I think if I had been stuck in the garage like normal there would be no-way I'd continue to ride.
