Inters/A-Ride for Sat, Feb. 13th

Post by Tony »

I was hoping to get out to Bridlington for our first century of the year, but I think we need a couple more weeks of daylight extension, so I settled for an easy day out this week. It should be dry, +5C and we can ride the easterly wind home.

120Km / 75 miles square to square.

As always for this time of year, fenders and lights recommended :)

View and download the route at RidewithGPS or click the map.

Hopefully should be out assuming no icy roads in morning :). Missed this route you did before Christmas because of ice. Would like to do it. :D I will apologise in advance though as I discovered earlier this evening whilst checking my usual winter bike that the front derailleur was snapped at the pivot point with the side plates , I realised this when it would not change up as usual. Some corrosion had set In. Worth checking your bike regularly. I do but never given that point much thought. Just made sure it's clean etc. I will be out on another bike which I've fitted a rear mudguard so hopefully it won't be too wet :D . Good job I discovered it before the ride . Over use I reckon :wink: for the record it was a shimano 105 5700 series derailleur. :D
