There was a touch of the old mizzle here today too when I was out on my bike this morning ☁️☁️☁️ Haven't seen the sun all day.

My phone says this is a Panicled Aster and I thought it said Panicked Aster and I was like “yeah I get it, it’s rough out there.” #BloomScrolling 🌿

The family of monsters that live in Loch Ness, Her High-Ness, Sporty-Ness, Clever-Ness, Ferocious-Ness and all the others, have always had one strict rule : Never speak to humans - until the day came when Elspeth and Angus meet the Loch Ness Monster.

I can't because I recorded it on Garmim. But with ridewithgps you can download files from the app, with Garmim and Strava you can't.

The route was logged but the file came from ridewithgps with the course on it. Ridewithgps actually has an option to download so they are easily created. But I recorded the activity on Garmim so the file for validation has to come from Garmim or Strava.

Does anyone know how to save a gpx file of a ride from either Strava or Garmin so that it can be sent off to @audaxuk.bsky.social? #cycling #diyaudax #Strava I've only ever done it from ridewithgps before 🤷‍♂️

If you're thinking what I'm thinking it's, how the hell does this shit even happen? Someone obviously wasn't paying attention otherwise it would have been avoided.

I had arm warmers and gilet on when I left, about mid afternoon I was putting them back on as it was getting cold again.

Out on the riverside path yesterday morning, it was at this point I realised that was a bad idea just wearing mitts 🥶 Thankfully it didn't take to long to warm up #cycling #autumn #coldmornings

Looking back to June. Momma bear and her three cubs. It was so lovely to be able to sit and watch them (safely from my vehicle). #mammals

If this is a common phenomenon, this could explain why some people spend much longer in there than others. To them they were only 'a few seconds'.

35mm gravel tyres is the answer, wider tyres are a piece of cake to fit 👍

PSB would like to thank Stuart Maconie for giving "A man from the future" its world premiere on BBC 6 Music tonight. The album was played back in full, while Neil, Chris and Andrew Hodges enjoyed chatting to Stuart about #AlanTuring, Kraftwerk and the Beatles, among other things. #PetText

Well I'll be honest, that could have gone better. To much faff, didn't eat or drink enough. Didn't put enough thought into the route before riding it. That routing error near Burtle neatly cost me the whole audax alone. Weather was cracking though 👌 #cycling #audax #diyaudax #Glastonbury

Clockwise. It heads down to Hampshire first as I remember going through Bramley before the control at Renegades.

It seems the pubs are few and far between too, I stopped at Sweets tea rooms for an ice cream and had a Brief stop at The Duck, now with only 20km to go I'm at the King Alfred in Burrowbridge (Burrow Mump) #cycling #audax #Somerset #diyaudax

When I picked this route I didn't give a lot of thought to possible pitstops. The return leg is,very rural with only a few village pubs and very headwindy too #cycling #audax #Somerset #diyaudax

I went out via Langport and Somerton and going back via Godney, Westhay and Chilton Polden. I'm at the old police station cafe in Glastonbury having lunch now.

I've come up with an idea to do 3, this is the Level Out - 100km, next the Level Up - 200km and possibly a Level Best, that'll either be a 300km or a gravel 100km connecting some of the drovers tracks.

Back on the audax game with an easy 100 around the Somerset Levels with Glastonbury as the central port of call. First stop has to be the Bridge Canteen, busy this morning too 🌤🚴‍♂️☕️🥐 #cycling #audax #diyaudax #Somerset

Out walking yesterday afternoon and a small river near me has completely dried up, all that lies there until the rain returns are a few puddles.

We rarely mow our backyard now. We would rather see the baby deer eating the dandelions or watch the yellow flowers bow to the ground when the pollinators land on them.

31st, end of this month. I'm tempted to do the Hilly 100 but the time allowance is tight so common sense says go for the easier 100 again.

I've had this route for years saved on Strava, I can't remember where I got it from but it's very similar. Did a few club rides in the Chilterns about 10 years ago so possibly was one of those. ridewithgps.com/routes/57427...
