As before everyone is welcome, some of our rides are around the city, some are out in the countryside. And there's always a coffee stop along the way somewhere 😁

We cycle almost every weekend in all weathers, usually on the many trails in the area but sometimes quiet roads too, often visiting places like Fotheringhay castle, Everyone is welcome to join us for a quiet ride!

A couple good cycling weeks for me, last week, 75 miles commuting with a weekend ride.
Did my longest ride since January yesterday, 34 miles mostly off road and all pedal powered on the 29er, I'm now using the ebike just for commuting which it's great for!
5 months today since I was in hospital!

Bit of a milestone today for me, 21 miles on a normal pedal powered bike, feel like I'm really getting somewhere with my cardio recovery!

Been a while since I posted here, now on day 95 of cardio recovery, back on the bike (ebike conversion for now!) small steps have taken me a long way so far, longest ride since that awful day in January is now 41 miles on good friday, regularly doing 25 milers too, loving life right now again!

Back to cycling ride today, the home built ebike is an absolute game changer for getting me out and about on two wheels again, a steady ride of just under 15 miles as a start, I've missed this so much 😁

We've mostly ridden on cycle paths or trails over the last year, my enjoyment of cycling has hugely improved away from traffic (and away from twitter hate filled posters too!)
Paths like these, out in the country are great, although sometimes a little muddy, good luck with the garden centre visit!

This bit is straight from the Mail's editor isn't it? Nothing to do with what's written in the diary? 🤔

Strangely pink skies outside this evening, everything is a funny colour, like wearing rose tinted glasses out there 😂

Can confirm the trails around Peterborough are quite muddy, it was warm and sunny though which was a nice change!
