Here's mine from the weekend in Lancashire UK, first off-road run and a lot of climbing.. I smiled a lot lol!



Also took my mavic pro with me for another perspective of the area, I'll try some active track next time

Had my first go at an Enduro over the weekend. Was the Boltby Bash on the North Yorkshire Moors.
Managed 304th out of 383 finishers and 5th out of 6 in the e bikes.
Room for improvement but had a great time none the less.

Enjoying the ride is most important imho. I did a few amateur races and didn't enjoy them as your just looking at speed, cadence and time

Today I rode to work. Got up to my office and switched my PC on. One of my colleagues enquired about my presence. Something the rang a bell in the back of my mind as it was my first day back from a long weekend down in Dorset. Sure enough, I was rota's for a day off. Result!

I was offered a shift change and to stay, but declined as it was too nice a day. Was home by 8:50am, changed, and out on my bike Did 21 miles this morning and 20 miles this afternoon. Ended up past Beachy Head - first time up and over without stopping:



Momentary stop at the triangulation point:



Then got to this bit, which I'd not paid any attention to before:



Which is the point where a lot of people choose they've had enough of this mortal coil. Which then got me to thinking about the good people of Manchester and the poor souls who didn't get a choice yesterday. So I took a moment out of of an otherwise happy day's cycling to spare a thought for anyone affected by the atrocious events of yesterday

I'm missing my bike so much when I'm reading these posts. She's back on friday, thank goodness. Currently using the road bike which I enjoy, but just not as good. Green with envy

Nice looking bike

 

[soundwave]

i wonder if you could fit 2 batts in that bike? as it sure looks wide enough from that angle.

 

[EddiePJ]

Giving the hatdtail a bit of a shake down yesterday evening, in readiness for this evenings little outing of both bikes.

 

[Dom T]

Not fair... road bike it has been this week, but can't wait until tomorrow when mines back, at work until saturday morning, so sunday is my next day out.

Today’s little ride of 52 miles with 6,441ft of elevation gain was kind of a try out for the Swiss trip. I wanted to see how the new handlebar and stem set up would work under a proper test, and also how carrying 5kg of weight in the Camelbak would pan out, in respect of my neck and back. 5Kg being the weight of the spare battery, 3litres of water, and tools and equipment.

I couldn’t have asked for more. The handlebar and stem set up was perfect, and this included a couple of intentionally steep climbs. As for the neck pain, It was all pretty good. I suffered slightly whilst having some grub afterwards, but even then, putting into practice a few yoga stretches, quickly had that sorted as well.

The weather was pretty mixed, with sunshine to begin with, quickly followed by thunder, lightning and heavy rain, then back to sunshine and cloud, with some very strong wind. All in all a pretty good morning ride.

What a brilliant day you must have had.
Were you joined by others or were those peeps just out for a ride ?
Get mine back tomorrow, but won't be doing the miles you've done today, it'll just be a pop about to see if all is well.

I was on my own, but this young lady would of made for good company.

Not that I would have stood much of a chance of keeping pace with her. She was one very fast and fit rider. A Jenny Risveeds replica.

 

[soundwave]

you did that with 1 batt or 2 ?

 

[EddiePJ]

Just dropped down to two bars remaining from the second battery.

Ten miles were very flat, so not the best of range considering I used tour mode. I did throw some intentionally steep climbs into the mix as well though.

Thanks for the follow on Strava Eddie. At least I think it's you lol

Oddly I thought that I already was following you, but seem to have lost a load of people, and I am having to re add them. I hadn't spotted it until this evening.

 

[Bigdaddyuk666]

I only recently started using it again as got a gear fit 2 watch with GPS built in adds most details automatically.

I must admit that I don't use it as much as I was. I like to see what others that I am following are up to, but beyond that my interest in it has gone.
