Tell us about your weekend ride

That valley look amazing.

2km to Broadway Fields to play basketball with my daughter.

Rode for 100 miles and 12 seconds longer than I'd hoped for

Bad luck, ʎpu∀. You'll get it next time!

Fuck me. Kudos

Ouch. Great work though.

A lap of Lake Geneva during the Cyclotour du Leman. Tough headwind from Geneva to Lausanne, without this, it would have been a sub 5 hour ride for 175ks, but it was still a PB

Normal Sunday club ride around the Surrey Hills 40 odd miles, nothing much to report apart from the very irate lady in a massive 4x4 who stopped us and shouted at us for a good five minutes about how we are ruining her village by cycling through every Sunday screaming and hollering through, we have no consideration for anyone else and we are a bloody damn nuisance. She said she was going to call the police, we agreed to wait for the police and we wanted to know what she planned to ask them to do. She just shouted more and drove off.

Was the most bizarre 10 minutes as we hadn't gone through any villages at this point.

Did a 60 miler around the Yorkshire Dales yesterday, some great views and sweaty climbs. Highlight was freewheeling down Fleet Moss at over 80kmh. Also quite scary.

Good effort. @Cycliste and I did the Evian to Lausanne half-tour a few years ago but we never did the full tour as it's always clashed with other events we wanted to do since.

Jacket potato in Anglesey very soon.

Bloody cyclists!

Heh, you animal. Nice work.

@Cycliste and I did the Gran Fondo Nove Colli again yesterday. The weather at the start was a bit grim, but as ever it was made more enjoyable by being in the company of 12,000 other cyclists including a large proportion of very excited Italians.

I'd decided, given the weather, that I wouldn't try and set a fast (for me) time but would ride with @Cycliste and work as her domestique. The first 25km of the ride is flat, and so I set off to give her a wheel to follow. Invariably what happened is that we'd get into a group, I'd decide it was too slow, tell @Cycliste that we'd bridge across to the next group down the road, and then when we got halfway there @Cycliste would say it was too fast and I'd end up eating wind hung out to dry between the two groups...

After the initial flat bit the hills started. Apart from one section between hills 8 and 9 the route basically either goes up or down. The weather got worse at first, but eventually dried up and by the afternoon it was all rather pleasant. @Cycliste even took off her arm warmers:

The final 15km is again flat, so I gave @Cycliste a wheel again. At one point there was quite a large group behind us, but they dropped off towards the end. At the end, there was once again unlimited quantities of free beer available, so we made sure that we were fully recovered with the help of God's own recovery drink before wobbling back to the hotel.

Now I just have to wait until the Dragon Ride in a fortnight.

@danstuff this was my third time for the ride. It is always fast but the Fench/Swiss French don't like taking the front !!!

The Nove Colli is on the wanted list

Yesterday I rode about 40 miles in Kent and then gave up and had to get a train home. Today I managed about 60 but had to have a small breakdown on a pavement in Bromley before I made it home.

god being massively unfit is boring.

Went for a ride round the coast. Quite busy as you can see!

You're definition of unfit and the rest of the country's are pretty dissimilar!
