Last year I rode the Rutland and Beyond Audax. It was cold but went really well. This year was different.

Since the start of the year, and a tiny bit of last year I haven't really had the motivation going for rides, especially road rides. The weather has been completely shite but it's more than…

I might have written about this in the Loros recap but I intended to do a 100km ride at over 25kmh average speed shortly after the big Loros ride. Well, one thing led to another and I ended up not doing that very quickly. After the Loros ride I ended up getting a mild injury on the back of my leg (from bending do…

Just to be the enby who rode 200km just for the shits and giggles of it!

So I did this last year, but never wrote about it, and enjoyed it so much I decided to do it again this year. Each year Loros organises the 2025-09-09

The Race

This is a race that I love dearly, a local based big race. For the mens it's a 1.2 UCI race, the only UCI 1 day in the UK for the past 20 years. For the women it's the start of the National Road Series, and a National A where all the best domestic racers are out at. Topping all that off, as if it wasn't enough, it…

What's this then?

An audax I should have written about last year when I first did it, but I didn't so here we are back again! Last year it was raining, and there were many floods, this year it was snowing to start, and freezing cold! Always a good test of kit then.

I decided to do this again pretty much righ…

The Ride Out

We weren't sure if this ride was going ahead this week, the rain was forecast as "likely but light" and it was on the edge of cold. Of course I jinxed it with last weeks post! Still, I decided to go because I needed miles anyway, if anyone else turned up I'd…

The Ride

The first regular TdQ ride of the year! Finally starting at 0900, with everyone, and no reason to delay! It was a bit drab and drizzly though. The ride out to the foot of Borrough Hill was gentle, but when we got to Twyford it split heavily between different people going different directions, and some getting lost…

The Ride

Late start to this one, at 11:00. I thought it'd be cancelled with an ice warning only ending at 10:00, but the message went out it was going ahead, though there were groups going off at various times.

Our 11:00 starters decided to keep it short, and head a simple 20ish miles to Borrough Court. We set off g…

A start to me hopefully remembering to vaguely review cafes we go to over the year! First off, a chilly visit to Eye Kettleby Lakes.

The ride was a fairly brisk pace, ended up at just over 50km, but easily doable with 5 of us sharing the pacemaking. Borrough Hill as always thoroughly enjoyed. Initially we were going to head to the Dairy B…
