So......

Who's been out this year? I guess the MTB guys have?

I attempted to go for a ride on Saturday, went outside, pumped up tyres then realised it was silly cold so jacked it in.

Only been out on my road bike twice since I got it! It scares me tbh

Not been out for 2 months. Need a new battery for my lights, need my forks servicing and brakes bleeding and I don't want to spend the money

All the gear, no idea. If you had a fleece on instead of lycra the cold wouldn't have mattered.

I don't like riding in the dark even with lights on. Too many dick head drivers about and I don't want to go over another car bonnet. Been running instead the last few weeks. Bike will come out again in about 6 weeks.

300 Miles.

Llandudno to London is 250, so if all goes well, i'll be doing 550.

After this one, I want to try and do one a year.
