Polcho re back box. When I needed a box I found a shopping wire basket - it was just the job to carry produce, just zip tied it to the rear rack, .
Galana If mid May a black Wester Ross touring bike comes by you, followed by a lady on an Crossfuse electicic bike say 'hello' (No chance of it being that way round but do say say hello if you pass us labouring up somewhere steep)

Another fun day on the bikes with the family. Took my boy on the pump tracks, he was a but wary at 1st but then flying round it.
All week I had been dreaming of that bmc Teammachine I saw, but yesterday I was waiting for the wife in the supermarket and quickly browsed cycling weekly. They compared 4 bikes, the Teammachine being one. It came last, but was the only bike under £4k, not sure why they didn't go the model up. Need to do more research.

I did a nice 60 miles today around Donegal. Lovely but for the wind chill.

What's a normal days cycling. In a group or on your jack Jones. Today I was out with the brother and brother in-law. Nice the 3 of us working together. I think we averaged 17.4 miles per hour over the 60 miles with a good bit of climbing

Generally 2 rides a week as a club. Obvs not for properly for the last year. I don't mind my own company but it can be boring on long rides and for shorter ones I push myself too hard on my own.
A ride a lot with one other, he is in his mid 60s but hell of a rider. He doesn't do much work up front but strong on the climbs and keeps me at a regular speed on long rides.

When we go out as a group we are very poor at working together and often split. It also ends up like a race which is stupid and off putting for the slower ones. I rather drop back and support when I can.

I don't see the point trying to bust someone. I joined the local group for a few ride's. I didn't really enjoy it, same thing the last 4 miles turns into a race.
The brother struggled slightly on the climb's today, we held back at the top get the group together and move on.
It's meant to be enjoyable

Until recently I was training 6 days a week, but lost my motivation, so now its around 4 days a week (300kms a week) and just riding steady endurance pace. Its all been on my own for well over a year, I don't mind it but do miss the group rides.
I did various group rides, club runs averaging 17 mph or so on a sunday with a cafe stop I do miss, there was also a very fast and hard saturday ride in Derbyshire that had turnouts of 30 riders or more, they were absolute smash fests but great fun all the same.

Only ever ride by myself, so I don't have to keep up or wait for others and I can make my route up as I go. Usually ride 4 days a week and todays ride is fairly typical 31.2 mile 2200 foot ascent., I never time myself but today I was probably out about 3 hours (so 10 mph inc stops). that is quite typical for me, a bit quicker in the winter and a bit slower in the summer.
I don't cycle for fitness or anything - just love travelling through the countryside and a bike is a fantastic way to do that.
Not much sun the day but it was still good to be up in the hills

I use the Komoot app, more for its record aspect but also it gives an approx record of the gradient climbed/descended plus gives you your real time speed. If a route is pre-planned it will give turn by turn sound navigation, (plus it ignores pub stops in its average speed presentation!)
Share your motivation for cycling Hopperty although I do enjoy the adrenaline rush of a fast descent down a winding road and the challenge of whether I can get up the damned hill where ever it is.
