I was thinking it would be nice to have a thread to post mini ride reports that serve as inspiration and ideas for the rest or just for the sake of showing off a bit.
No rules on how to post (but visuals make things more appealing). I’ll start.
Length: Sat - Sun
Destination: Exmoor National Park from East London
Route: Highway to Marlbourough then B roads to Exford, Minehead, Somerset, TA24 7PU only following Co-Pilot app B roads set up. Next morning we followed coastal B Roads to Lynton/Lymouth, lovely scenery and 25% hills, spotted wildlife and a sheep on the road nearly knocked me off. About 2Pm on Sunday, back to London via M5/M4. Total miles 502.
Edit: I’m trying to figure out why some pics will appear and why some not…:S
Me and Toony knocked another 130 miles off his new bike, only another 250 miles till it can be ridden properly.
Went via Finchingfield including a huge detour through saffron Walden trying to find new roads (ended up getting very lost and wishing we’d stuck to the route we know)
Did the usual Essex loop, Finch, Sudsbury, Mercy Island, Burn’um with chap from ELAM on a ZZR1400, whilst I rode my dinky by comparison Fazer 600… Bumped into Martin Ace and discussed which biking groups we were playing traitor too today. Was good ride, knackering though. Ran out of time in afternoon so didn’t do the back lanes through Bickacre, Stock, Ingatestone & Blackmore.
Bit late for this, but the weekend before last I bought a bike and last weekend I went off riding it. Dawdled off down to the New Forest and took the “I’ve been off-road, innit” photo in a gravel car park:
And then discovered a “Chocpresso” in Chococos, which is basically what happens when you use chocolate instead of coffee in an espresso machine, and it’s definitely an improvement on coffee.
