I ventured out for a 10 mile bike ride around the local back roads... at one stage I had the bike leaning over to the right side to compensate for the strong winds.... least it stayed dry......

Yes, I was out yesterday, still windy but lovely and sunny and the wind had dried the trails, they were great! Still a bit dodgy though as I came across a tree fallen onto the Dog trail totally blocking it, as the wind was so high that made me a bit wary.
Was going to repeat the ride today but it's hammered down all night and I had to drive to Derby to pick up a bike carrier, I'm on nights tonight so out of time now, shame, loved yesterday....didn't see another soul on the marked trails or the off piste..heaven.

I was gonna do a couple of laps of the Blues today - decided against it as it was alreay a mud fest last week - god knows what it'll be like today after all the rain again. This was my bike after 15.5 miles last weekend:   And that was after a load of it fell off on the drive back! |

Stand works ok for storage, not sure if it'll work on clown-sized wheels though |
