Second win on the trot for Angus, today. Racing in cat 2/3 (the highest category available today) he rode an intelligent race and had enough in the bunch sprint to cross the line in 1st against some very strong opposition. #Winner

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A lovely 50km+ loop, today… but, wowsers, what an evil easterly wind 💨 . Heart-rate on alert just to keep moving forwards!

If the “customer” doesn’t cry when they see what a good job the folk at “The Repair Shop” have done, they’re not grateful enough.

#Fact

A superb first crit-race of the year for Angus and his first race in the category up from where he was last year. Rode an intelligent race to finish a solid top-ten out of around 35 - holding his own against far more experienced competition.

BED January - and a rare opportunity to join Angus on one of his Z0/Z1 rides.

So BED January is done and dusted - pretty happy finish on 830 miles for the month. 😄😄

What a day in Harrogate. Evert only went and got himself selected to be in the JKS England Squad!! What a superstar!!

Morning, folks… a busy day, yesterday. 110km ride followed by a 4 hour drive up to Harrogate… and now a busy day here oop north. Love it all, though… keeps me “young”. 🤣🤣

A 5 minute video from the 200km ride I did with Russ on Monday… in case you’re interested, like.

Out for a recovery spin with Russ and came across this lovely little Austin Seven. 😍😍

Cheers, buddy. Took it nice and steady - it was more about having a nice day chatting and getting a few miles in 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

A lovely day on the bike with Russ. Far more rain than we were expecting to encounter but.. well.. it IS January after all… and our spirits weren’t dampened.

Oh that’s very sad. 😢

What a great show this was last night - the Simon and Garfunkel story.

The two chaps playing Simon and Garfunkel were superb, as were the backing musicians.

One of the few times I’ve been gutted when the show ended.

Thanks to Lisa for a organising.

Maintaining my “bike every day in January” streak with a lovely social ride out to Uphill with PCC. Over 400 miles ytd (I normally take no notice of that kind of thing but thought I’d check)… and all of them enjoyable. 😍😍

The largest Friday Standard group yet… Ten of us enjoying the sun on a gorgeous January morning. 😍😍

Another superb evening at Newport Velodrome last night - expertly coached by @pdqcyclecoaching as always.

Yep - that as well!

🙌🏻🤣🤣🤣

👍🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻 🤣🤣🤣

Not wanting a medal* or anything but I’ve cleaned six bikes today… five of my own and one of my oldest son’s.

Now that’s a productive day!

*I do.. I do want a medal.

Oh no! So sorry for your loss. Deepest sympathies.

Today’s #ViewFromMyBike. Another fixie ride with Russ. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Just the kind of snow I like.

White for an hour or two - then washed away by rain.

Perfect.

#BahHumbug 🤣🤣🤣

@girlonabrompton.bsky.social nice to see you on here. 👍🏻

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Heal quickly.

I think we’re literally a handful of miles further south than where the forecast thinks they’ll get some.

Not in the SW… thank goodness!
