Norfolk, and trains
I impulse bought a tent a few weeks ago, thinking I could use it to cover some distance by bike. This then lead to impulse booking in to a camp site near Cromer in Norfolk. We didn’t (but I would have like to have tried) cycle all the way there, we got a train to/from [...]

I’m trying to clear out our house at the moment, the ‘de-clutter’ before selling it. Sadly this is keeping me off the bike in all the nice weather. I’m missing all the Garmin Connect goals I’m setting too. One slightly positive bikey thing though is that I decided to have a go at the Cambridge [...]

Last night I had 77km left to meet this weeks Garmin Connect goal. I normally do 22km to get the newspaper on a Saturday morning, and I expect to do 52km tomorrow with the other half (she’s only rowing once), which would leave me an annoying 3km short of the goal. The easiest seeming thing [...]

After yesterday I had 25km left to make the weekly Garmin Connect goal. I was however knackered this morning. Partly, possibly, for a moderate length of ride. Partly from the other half having a boat race to get to and being up at 4:00am this morning. It rained buckets overnight, and was very windy still when I [...]

No big exciting rides this weekend. Partly down to the weather, partly down to me being grumpy/chicken (delete as you feel) about the weather and deciding not to go out. We got the Concept2 indoor rower, so I can get some excercise in the poor weather now (although it isn’t my rower). I’ve done 3km so [...]

We got a slight dusting of snow over night. I thought I’d be OK to cycle to Milton Post Office for the paper this morning, as I normally would, I’d just take the precaution of riding the Bolinas Ridge (2.1″ tyres) rathr than the Tricross (23mm tyres). All the way to Waterbeach the road was [...]

So, after the Xmas break I had to ride again at some point. We got home on 30/12. 31/12 was lost to unpacking, and of course New Year’s Eve. 1/1/2010 would have been the traditional day to go for the first ride, but I was knackered (travelling and late nights). So the first ride of [...]

So I got on the Marin this morning and had the usual “this feels spongy, are my tyres low?” thought, which I dismissed as I always do as being that I’d ridden the Tricross last and it was just the difference between 23mm and 2 inch tyres. This time I was wrong. The bike got [...]

All my plans went wrong today. Saturday was supposed to be the better day weatherwise this weekend, so I intended to do my big ride for the week today. So, I stayed up late watching DVDs on Friday, and ended up having quite a lie-in. I do find it difficult to get up when I [...]

Saturday was the better day of the weekend weatherwise, but I had to do some shopping (that time of year). I tied this in with doing some recycling since there’s a recycling point at the Beehive Centre. So I got to spend a reasonable amount of time on the bike, but moving slowly with lots [...]
