50cm of snow is unimaginable! It was about 9c and fairly breezy today, but I enjoyed a couple of hours on the bike - even if it is now filthy. Again.

^^^I had to laugh at the tiny mudguard on your bike, but I guess you don't really have much need for one in the Caribbean!

I have full length mudguards on my hybrid bike. There's so much mud on the local canal path though that the mud had built up on the underside of the mudguard and was acting like another brake :problem:

A quick blast of the power hose yesterday and it's sorted out for a ride later today :)

My first ride for 7 months, following a calf injury and then lots of diy on my son’s house, during all my spare time. I managed 20.4 miles so rather pleased with that. Pics are by the River Severn at high tide.

Today's ride was about 100 yards - just long enough for the TPMS to wake up and smell the slow puncture:

Ouch! On the bright side though, the TPMS doing its job could have saved a bigger potential accident there Richard.

Absolutely. I am grateful for the technology as the pressure loss was not visible. Seems to be quite a slow puncture as I inflated it to the correct pressure yesterday evening and today it had lost about 20% of the pressure. Hopefully, it will be enough to get me to the tyre place, where it can be repaired.

A 27.8 miler today. It was a gorgeous day for it.

Pics all taken from Arlingham. Newnham is on the opposite bank from me.

After 30 years of various Mountain & Hybrid bikes I’ve decided to ‘go Dutch’, so this is my new Cargo bike and this is it with my wife’s bike at the end of our ride to Zandvoort from our new home in Haarlem!

I must be a cyclist's dream in Holland i.e. lacking any significant hills, unlike Scotland where you can't go that far without a lung bursting incline to conquer :problem:

There is a reason cyclists here call the wind ‘the Dutch Hill’, being flat and on the North Sea means it’s usually pretty breezy, especially here in Haarlem, we’re the first big City inland in North Holland, it feels like Canary Wharf sometimes, I’ve only been here 5 months and have experienced 3 days where there were no flights from the main airport because of high winds :shock:

^^^interesting. I agree from experience that cycling into a stiff breeze can be as bad, sometimes worse than going uphill :problem:
