Getting to Gawsworth

Lovely loop around the Cheshire lanes, with the grand plan to have tea and many buns at the splendid Gawsworth Hall.
The bike, however developed a really, really annoying creak. Fearing the worst, I chose to nurse it back, just in case.
Discovered later that it was nothing more than…

Not quite Cartmel 😕

Had to cut the route a bit shorter, as we were joined by a friend on his e-bike. We wouldn't have had the range to make it all the way there and back. As It was getting late in the afternoon and the pub is open, we had to make…

UHL Bike Aintree 2025

The first Iconic event on behalf of University Hospital Liverpool. Also the last local sportive of the year.
Opted for the medium 55 mile route, which was enough for me.
Mostly flat, but with really half decent road surfaces for a change.
Literally arrived back at the final furlong, before…

Perfect ride on a perfect day. Despite a slight komoot navigation error 😖

Just the right amount of distance before things start to ache with a great combination of country lanes, moderate climbs, fast decents, and flatter faster roads.

It's one of the most enjoyable rides I think I've ever done 🤩

Got there fast, a little too fast, though. Really, really pushed myself attempting to run with the front runners. Only two very short stops. Collapsed under a shady hedge at the finish and woke up 25 minutes later in pain, and not feeling too great 🤢🤮 60 miles in under 4 and a half hours, as this
