Cycling - a chat about all things bike.

Woot! Finally, after a month of being a seriously hacked-off hermit and hiding under the duvet, I've managed to get off my arse and on my bike to do a couple of rides of 10 or above miles.

We're having a lovely Indian Summer here this week, it's sunny, warm and folks are smiling. I had decided that yesterday would be my first ride back after my errrrm 'sabbatical' and arranged to meet one of last years classmates, Marc, at the top of his road (a 3mile ride for me to get there) and we'd tootle off along the seafront (NCR 62) until we wanted to turn back. We had a tail wind. We turned back at Fleetwood golf course into a vaguely evil headwind. T'was quite a tough journey back and by the time I hit town for coffee with The Fag Father I was a breathless, sweaty mess. T'was a good ride!

I aim to get another 10+ in tomorrow too as I go for surgery on Saturday. Nothing too big, only an overnighter, but will have me off my bike for a fortnight; for transport trips as well as leisure.

I wanted to share this with you. I wish I'd made it longer as the evening light was lovely.

Turn the volume off if you wanna watch it - all you can here is wind.

Coming back the sunset was wonderful, sadly my pictures don't reflect how fab it was.
