Uh-oh, just been sent this picture from the route I'm riding in Saturday! I'll take my towel

A picture of a cyclist riding along a cobbled towpath with limestone flagstones. There are stone houses to the right and a canal towpath to the left.

It's unclear if the cyclist is about to get wet.

I feel @oldenoughtosay.com needs to see this quad bike corgi! 📷 @heidirogersrunning on Instagram

Not your typical work interruption!

My front door is open, and there's a female sheep standing on the doorstep and looking up at the camera, as if wanting to come inside for a cup of tea.

The sheep did not get any tea.

Getting a chance to ride some big cols the Alps this week 🤩 Col des Montets/com du Forclaz near Chamonix, then Italy to France via Petit col de St Bernard, and today the Col De la Madeleine. Only downside was losing my @writebikerepeat.bsky.social cap from a jersey pocket 😭 thus no summit selfies..

There's a well known gravel bike loop near me in the Lake District called "The Ghost Loop" for this very reason!

Well this aged poorly. Got up both climbs but they did give me a kicking! Taaienberg: difficulty 4/5, short but relatively steep and NASTY rough cobbles. Berg Ten Houte: difficulty 3/5, cobbled section was manageable but the tarmac section went on for a long while after my legs were feeling it!

The start of Berg Ten Houte, with a straight tarmac section followed by cobbles winding their way up a wooded hillside.

Patterberg: difficulty 4/5 - the steep bit is really very steep!! Glad to have made it up this one 😅

91dave @91dave.com · 28/04/2025

Oude Kwaremont: there were significantly less adoring fans than my last visited me to believe should be the case, nevertheless, the climb was sublime! Difficulty 3/5, mostly due to the length... I stress "difficulty" with my ratings is subjective, and how hard it is for me to *complete* them...

Oude Kruisberg, difficulty 2/5. A trivial tarmac climb that someone has cruelly added some steep cobbles to!

91dave @91dave.com · 28/04/2025

Oude Kruisberg and Hotond are done. Ratings to follow... I have some business to attend to first!

Kicking off today, the Valkenberg. Fairly straightforward tarmac climb, though longer than I expected! 1/5

From yesterday, Muur van Geraardsbergen. Difficult mostly due to the length, though some steep pinches! Cobbles mostly felt ok. Difficulty 4/5

Getting over excited 😅 Had to stop before the gradient got too silly. Though I did have a 15% tarmac section up the Achteberg a few km later 🥵

Bike handlebars and Garmin, with luggage. On the cobbled road below is a sign saying
Koppenberg 550m, 11% AVG, 22% max.

View from my bike, stopped 1/3 of the way up a cobbled wooded climb (the Koppenberg), with the gradient getting ever steeper

Day 1 of #OneMonthLateToRVV was catching the ferry from Dover to Dunkirk, and a stay near the town of Bergues in French Flanders.

Went for a fun mountain bike ride with my friend Kerry. Lake District "gravel" riding can be a bit gnarly!

Hello cycling BlueSky! This 80+kg, paid up member of the Rouleur association is trying to psych himself up for a big climb tomorrow.. the Tabayesco on Lanzarote. Just how hard is 10km at 5.5%? 😅

The road is rolling, straight into a stiff headwind, as if to emphasize OPs point about being a Rouleur not a climber!

Glorious day on the bike with a friend I've not seen in way too long. Weather was meh, I bonked pretty hard, and legs cramped so hard I couldn't get out the saddle.. But friends are what make like wonderful eh ☺️
