Gravel Bike Wander in the Chilterns

Wahoo sync failed so this is late to the site. Wahoo support worked out so now this workout is visible.

Makes you wonder how our lives got to be so much dictated by data now? Why do I feel better now my ride is captured for practically nobody to see?…

Late Decision to Get Out There

It was so nice so rude not to. Even though still feeling odd. Nothing new there.

Went on some lovely trails although the very last part of the one up to park corner is not recommended. Lumpy and poor surface quality.

Got to the Cheese Shed 1 min after closing.…

Short Lunchtime Gravel Ride

Not feeling 100% this morning. Nearly bailed. Glad I didn’t. Great to be out there on some nice routes and following Tim about. Albeit at a distance. Having said that I don’t feel too bad. Just low energy. Some would say that is a change for the better.

Bit of a Disaster

Never mind. Lovely lunch at the end of it.

Everyone has been cutting hedges. Took a thorn. Both spare inner tubes were defective. Failure to patch. Demoralised. Borrowed an inner Tue from Tim to get back to his.

Had a lovely lunch to improve morale.

Went back home and put…

Costa Daurada Day 5

Shorter day to reflect both the heat, my dodgy constitution, and the need to catch a flight a bit later. Same comments as previous days. A bit more traffic as it was a Sunday and people seemed to be out and about a bit. But still not much. Many more…

Costa Daurada Day 4

Once again see previous entries. Stunning blah blah. Etc. felt a bit shit starting out but the breakfast kicked in finally and my form arrived just in time for the climbing. The little dog leg in the middle of the ride was one of the best climbs and then descents…

Costa Daurada Day 3

Another beautiful national park ride. Stunning scenery. Good roads. And there is literally nobody around. Sorry to bang on.

Chris made it to the top of the big first climb on the e bike. The rest of us did a high land circuit which was a bit up and down.…

Costa Daurada Day 2

Another flapjacks day in the wilderness. No coffee or crisps until within the last 10km.

But, the coast main road aside, again, very little traffic and on the minor roads great roads and scenery. A real joy. Very nice shorter day.

Perfect. Stunning. Great roads. Very little traffic. Absolutely beautiful scenery. We need to plan lunch better. One bag of crisps and a flapjack and a couple of coffees not what the pros recommend. But felt great.

Longer Gravel Ride in prep for Costa Trip

A good ride over 4 hours moving which seems ok at the moment (early days). Neck a bit stiff but ok. Fitness seems on track but expect to be at the back on the upcoming trip. Down but hopefully not out.

Some good climbing. And some nice trails. Stopped on…

Canal Ride - Surprisingly Good

Felt like something different today. An exploration of the lesser known canals and waterways on the west side of London - in particular - the Colne Valley way.

Surprisingly nice given that we were on the outskirts of Uxbridge. Pleasant cycling on towpaths with few people on. We saw a…

Marlow Riders Cycling to Gerrards Cross

And boy is Gerrard mad given the attitude of many of their drivers! A nice route out although on busy roads at the start with some strange driver behaviours. Given we were a small group 5 it might have encouraged some into interesting manoeuvres. Some very near misses with oncoming…

Afternoon Solo Gravel Ride

Ideal activity following a business breakfast. Get some climbing in and explore the lesser known tracks. Some with success and some with a mental not never to pass that way again.

Really enjoyable though on this very hot day. Luckily a fair amount of shade and an occasional breeze. Plus…

Gravel ride Bourne End to Ferneygrove Farm

Nice ride for the conditions. Enough shaded bridleways for cooling and enough distance to get to a bacon sandwich selling location.

Thanks to Sarah for after ride drinks. And Sarah, Paul, Tim, Derek and Albert for the company.

Nothing major to report as it was very pleasant. Tim had a…
