I am only posting this as i looked in the 2020 thread and there are new posts for this year
Done about 60 something miles in 3 rides so far this year , 2 on the roads and one off road on the dunes and mud as the bike got covered in shit so properly cleaned down as brakes, gears and shifters were all sticking
I'll try and play more here than i have in the past but most of my riding is locally on a few routes i know work depending on wind conditions and weather
so crack on boys and girls......what have you been up to ?
Today would normally be the day out, but got a few plans later, so it's skate-park in the morning @ 9am and then we'll maybe have the new Zwift bike to test later.
Not saying it was cold on the Sarf Dahns this morning (for the unexpected commute from Lewes to Brighton as otherwise it was “bus wanka”), but I could swear in the field alongside the cycle lane I saw a load of AT-AT’s assaulting a Rebel Base.
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."

There is only the Old Coach Road under the Downs and the return over the top of the Downs back to Alfriston local to me that is just muddy rather than a quagmire but they deliberately keep about 200yrds of the Old Coach Road flooded and boggy to stop the 4x4’s and motorbikes using it too much. The forest is a horrendous mess at the moment, even the fire roads are very sticky in places.

Finally got the last bits to repair SWMBO'ed winter Ebike, (lets ignore the 2 hours spent taking it to bits again, trying not to have a Donald Duck tantrum and reassembling it twice while I worked out that the motor won't assist with the bike upside down.........I am such a stupid idiot on occasions). Went for a test ride, it was a bit muddy and I think the dog hates me now.

12 Mile commute on the road bike, into a head wind along the A27 cycle lane between Lewes and Falmer but managed an average HR of 150 and knocked just over a minute of my PB for the commute.

My rides are pretty boring with no real points of interest to photograph etc
Suffice to say i am doing about 20 miles every 2 or 3 days on the MTB on road trips and the occasional venture into the local sand dunes and trails ... i will try and document things a bit more
This was a ride along the coastal dunes and fecking freezing at minus 2 wind chill temps
