49 miles with some big climb's. Got the vaccine yesterday. I was rough last night. Like a scene out of trainspotting. I did was sweating in bed.
Two of the boys I was out with set some personal Bests

Here’s mine. Rose Xeon RS-3000 2015. I don’t hold with full-carbon in my kind of price point (and the way I ride!), so it’s an alloy frame, but just 7kg all in.

Haven’t been out in a month or so after thinking a 100 miler was a good idea at my current fitness

some pedals might help you on that 100 mile ride

Can't believe I've only just seen this thread! Love me a bit of cycling! Just to confirm no I'm not sir Wiggo, Bradley is my surname
This is my pride and joy

Got it back in 2013 after my first cycling trip to France. Walked straight into a bike shop and said "that one please!" Added the wheels and power meter at a later date.

My other bike, now permanently attached to the trainer, is this

Pretty standard "ride to work" scheme bike. Was relegated to the winter bike when I got the Wilier. But since I moved here the winters aren't that bad (rain wise), so I just use it for indoor training or "the hamster" as the Mrs calls it!

 

[BradleyW]

Ok loads of bikes about so
Where do you cycle - area, chosen terrain, how far and what age.

For my part mixture of roads and cycle tracks take hills as they come, now 15 - 25 miles (used to manage 60 to 80 and the odd 130 back in the day), was 30 then now hitting 3 score and 10

Only road. At the moment I'm doing 80-100km a week with a bit on the trainer too. Pre covid/fatherhood times I was probably doing double that.
Mainly ride in central Spain (pretty flat) with the odd jaunt to the mountains down south.
Again pre covid, me and my mate's would do a week's cycling in either the Alps or Pyrenees. Really hope we can do that again soon, such great holidays!

Welcome aboard @BradleyW nice to see another cyclist posting some photo's, I love the Willier really nice bikes. I have ridden some in Spain, Almeria area and of course many times in Majorca which has to be one of the best places for cycling and training. Also the Alps and Pyrenees I have done many a bike ride in both areas and of course have most of the classic cols ticked off several times.

Todays ride was a more sombre 70kms in the peak District, lovely non the less despite the cold weather we are having.
On the Tarmac today, de-moted to a turbo bike when I was knocked off by a car but bought some new forks for it once the insurance had paid out on it (that took almost 2 years) and now I also use it for not fantastic weather training bike.

Peak District you say??? I'm a Buxton lad originally!
Some great riding round there!
What's been your favourite big mountains then?

I live not far from Buxton.
Well so many good mountains, the classics like the Tourmalet and the Aspin, Col de la Croix de Fer, Madelaine, Galibier. Also enjoyed some of the not so well know stuff who's names I forget. Just love riding in France and Spain wherever it is actually.

Any zwift users. Be good for a forum meet up, perhaps a regular thing over the winter months

Haven't ridden the Madelaine. But you're right sometimes the less well known climbs are more enjoyable, less cars and traffic in general. I'm probably biased but that's why I think Spain is the best for riding, much less traffic on the big climbs. If you ever get chance to visit Asturias I highly recommend Lagos de Covadonga, if you haven't already been up it that is?

I have not been to that part of Spain for many years and never cycling though it has been on my radar to cycle round the Picos for sometime. I have an Orbea now so just need to learn a little Spanish.

Been out every single night this week. Slowly getting into the swing of things.

Went on my gravel bike the other night; cycled up to watch the spring tide flood the salt marsh.

 

[Leon103]

Bit of a early morning cx ride today. Cracking morning weather, forest, beach and sand dune action.

At least they spelt they're correctly

I think that's Thor's cave in one of your shots Galena, so the photo taken near Grindon? Cycled those lanes last summer starting from a small campsite near the A52. Great lanes and wonderful scenery. Usually try for a round trip pulling in a coffee at Ilam Hall and/or a couple of pints at the Royal Oak at Whetton. Can just about still manage the climb from the Hall up to Blore. If all goes to plan heading to Hulme End campsite middle of May for a few nights.

Yep that's Thor's Cave, a pig of a climb I always think, as is that climb up to Blore. I ride through Hulme End 4 or 5 days a week I should think, it's on one of my flattest routes.

I can’t compete with any of those but I got this to get to the allotment on after we moved last year. No idea what make it is, or if it’s any good.
I need a solid back box really, but no idea how to find one.
It was second hand, but I took it to the bike shop for a service and had a more usable saddle fitted and handlebars so that I can sit more upright.
love it though, it’s trans Pennine way all the way to the lotti from my house.
