Marlow to Thame and back
Lovely day. Set off on a solo ride on some of my favourite routes with a coffee and farmer talk at the kiosk on the Phoenix way. Then tried a not altogether successful footpath link to a cross country gravel track.
Then a passing cyclist shouted my name and lo…

Gravel Ride to Blue Tin Cafe
What a nice day - it seemed to be going to be breezy and cool at first but turned out to be the ideal temperature plus the routes delivered today even though I had to put some road sections in to join them.
The only surprising / alarming elements were…

Gate Crashing the Waterperry WI High Tea
Road bike ride for a change. Yes. You heard. Turns out that roads on the whole are quite smooth and fast. This ride was the hardest I had worked for a while. And very glad that we all emerged in pretty good shape.
Andy still the mountain goat. 🐐 Tim…

Quick Out and About
Wasn’t sure what to do so took in a few of my favourite little bridleways to lift the spirits on a bright but changeable Monday morning.
Always feel better when I stir the blood a bit and when I get amongst the greenery. And so it was. I was going…

Wandering About in the Humidity
Very nice little ride. I decided for some reason to go through the middle of Maidenhead. But all in all not a bad decision as it joined up some nice bridle ways. I just tried to link some old favourites.
Quite flat. This could describe the rise and my back…

Hot Dog Day Afternoon
After family transport duties it was great to get out for a short but interesting ride. Tried a few lesser travelled paths and have the stings to prove it. Some very steep parts but no feet went down.
Had to stop at a petrol station for more water. Must have…

Fairly Long Gravel Ride in the Sunshine
We had planned to go out for a ride earlier in the week, but seeing the weather forecast we postponed to today. It was glorious - the first time this year where when riding we felt the heat.
I went through 4 bottles (normally a sign of a good night…

Nice Day. Rude not to get out there.
No mates to ride with but you know me - always talking to strangers. Never lonely.
Also tested some nice little bridleways - including little secret one in Radnage. A fierce climb out at the end but well worth it. Wonderful.
Had a coffee at a new farm coffee kiosk.…

Short but Eventful Sunday Brunch Ride
Another Sunday with Martin ride. Short and sweet. Ending in an excellent brunch and catch up with his daughters. Loving the stories. And loving martin's brunch buns complete with egg, sausage, bacon, hash browns, tomatoes and brown sauce. Washed down with 2 cups of strong tea. After a ride -…
