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!

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. 😄😄

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.

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. 😍😍

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!

Just the kind of snow I like.
White for an hour or two - then washed away by rain.
Perfect.

There’s lots of evidence to say that starting resolutions on the 1st Jan tends to be doomed to failure.
So I’m making one or two changes today, instead. 🙌🏻
