Grange over Sands
Easy stroll in the rain along the Promenade at Grange and a mooch around the shops to fill in a bit of time. It’s a bit mizzley today you that kind of rain that soaks you to the bone.

The Bay Cycle way part 2
So in July I had intended to complete the Bay Cycle Way but because of a puncture I couldn’t fix I couldn’t do the second part.
Today I managed to complete the ride but in a back to front sort of way.
Instead of starting in Arnside where I’m based…

Today we’ve been down to Glasson Dock, I’ll be here tomorrow too providing the weather isn’t awful.
We started our walk at Conder Green and walked along the estuary footpath to the junction with Stodday where we cut across to the Lancaster canal at Whitney Croft. We followed the canal…

Whitbarrow
We’re on holiday in Arnside so today we went to Millside and walked around the Whitbarrow nature reserve taking in Lords Seat. It’s a relatively easy walk but as it rained last night the trail was a bit squelchy and slippy in places.
Once at Lords Seat the views are…

We’re really close now to exchanging contracts and well technically be homeless.
Our new place will take a while to sort out and we’ve managed to blag a…

Stamfordham ring a ding ding !!
I’m still bedding in the Kona, I’ve made a couple of changes since my last ride, it’s got a new cassette on it and 11-34 for an easier uphill gear. I’ve tweaked the position of the brakes a little too. Sometimes I forget that it’s bar end shifters and try…

It’s 25 centigrade in Northumberland today !
Me and Allison decided to have a short stroll along the promenade at Newbiggin by the Sea. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve been here but having had a stroll today I think we’ll be back. It’s only a…

South East Northumberland coastal chaos.
Well, what an eventful ride, I ended up going further than planned, I cursed Komoot maps on more than one occasion for getting me lost, I was almost killed by a couple of e-motorbike nuggets, ignored by the peloton of North Tyneside Riders cycle club, I saw a couple of…

I imagine the nicked motorbikes may have been Blyth adjacent. When did rear hubs start to sound louder than machine guns ? (rhetorical question)

Touring bike shake down ride.
I took my new to me touring bike today for a shake down ride. It’s a 2011 Kona Sutra. I removed the front rack for today too. The bike has been stripped down to bare frame and rebuilt.
My ride today was a mix of off and on road.

Three is the magic number
Just a short walk today with Allison as we were both feeling a bit lethargic, it’s very humid and we did get caught in a heavy downpour.
