Brum canals & cycle ways
Wow just when I thought the wind could not get any windier it just did, and it was not just wind we had four seasons on this ride rain,hailstones, sleet, sunshine and of course very strong wind. Perhaps I should have reversed the route and rode with a tail wind but I didn't fancy climbing the canals as my legs were shagged from 4 straight days of riding.

Great central way Mtb
Serious headwind all the way to the start of great central way, Then a nice Tailwind back. Hard work riding in the wind along the canal side. But great views.

Mountain Biking Test
Short ride to test how bike feels after putting my old larger front ring back on. Wasn't happy with the top end speed with the 34T ring on it too much spinning out when going down hill.

The Sulley Road ride
Annual Sulley rd ride with a few LFCC members. The option of 4 different route lengths, we chose the 70k route. It was fairly nippy to start with, which made me e think I wished I had worn thicker gloves and there was a fair bit of fog around which was not in the forecast, The temps didn't improve til after the cafe stop in Tur Langton. Then a steady ride back in half decent weather to get my finishers certificate π

South Brum Gravel Loop
Back in Birmingham for a flying visit. Weather was too nice not to go for a ride. Revisited a few of my old cycling routes. Legs were feeling tired for some strange reason,But I still managed a few digs on the way. Only had one issue and that was when a lorry driver pull out Infront of me let him know he was in the wrong as I cycled around and pass him π‘

Braunstone Park Grvl Loop
First ride in a week as my knee had swollen up and I was unable to to bend it or walk unaided. It's finally feeling like it's back to normal. So I thought I would go and see how it felt after a short urban Gravel ride. .no ill affects so far ππΏ. The weather on the other hand could not make its mind up from wind to sunshine to rain and hailstones all in a hour rides π€·πΏββοΈ

Long Eaton Gravel ride Full
Weather was a lot cooler than yesterday's pleasant 15 degrees . I think it only got up to 8 degrees and there was a bit bit of drizzle for the first half hour. I started out like a man on a mission and knew I was going to regret it later. I started to flag a bit after the canal section finished . But that's because ididn't drink or fuel myself properly π₯΅
