Awesome Ride Through Hail and Hills South Lanarkshire by MuddyGoose - March 1, 20153 The weather often plays a part in the memorability of a ride and my recent ride during a visit to Scotland certainly had plenty of both; weather and memorability! This was a stop-off ride, just off the A74(M) from Abington on my way up to Glasgow. 278
Another day, another hill – Cairn O’Mount Aberdeenshire by MuddyGoose - November 6, 20144 We all have our regular routes and places that we get to ride frequently, ocassionally and infrequently. I'm fortunate in that I have a job that requires me to travel and I also have a car big enough to carry my bikes. So I get to ride in lots of different parts of the UK. Aberdeen however is not a common haunt even for me. So when I got the chance to go there this week and I found myself with enough time to squeeze in a ride, I couldn't resist. 380
Pain & gain in equal amounts Peak District by MuddyGoose - April 6, 20140 The phrase “no pain, no gain” is one that’s no doubt very familiar to most serious cyclists out there. Usually referring to training, personal bests and physical improvement. But on certain rides like Tuesday’s the pain is 350m of altitude and the gain is coming back down. 72
First “Cafe Stop” ride of the year. Cambridgeshire Rides East Anglia by MuddyGoose - April 1, 20140 Beautiful sunshine, warm spring Saturday morning and like minded company to ride with; ideal ingredients for a "Cafe Stop" ride. In this case not only my first of the year but also my first, full stop. Being new to the road riding scene stopping off at cafes mid-ride hasn't been in my repertoire until now. 41
Red sky in the morning… Cambridgeshire Rides by MuddyGoose - January 24, 20140 This morning I decided to go for a ride local to home before starting work. A dawn ride, let's call it. It's quite nice when you reach the point where you can confidently reach forward and turn off your front light. 379
