What cycling did you do this weekend?

Four miles Forest Walk and hill climb in South Lanarkshire with Mrs OJW, son and his two dogs. Sunday lunch in a pub in Biggar. So no cycling.

Probably the last century ride this year , i only do a couple anyway due to the old work/ wife/kids situation.
Decided the day before as the weather was gong to to good for the 1st time in a month to ride over to Cafe Ventoux as its open at the weekend again ,3 of us all out of shape rode over there then looped back via bradgate park for a second stop which in hindsight was a bad idea as it was packed and the cafe took forever to get served .
should have looked at the route a bit better as the planner kept wanting to take us down single track cycle lanes so we ended up going from 9 mile trip to 102 , we were going to add a bit at the end anyway to make the ton but no need.
mate bonked at the end so he was walking on hills but we got there ! just the wrath of swmbo to placate now

I did a two hour 10 mile ride on Saturday afternoon on the L&L towpath near home cutting back unsafe low hanging vegetation/branches,and a track I use regularly that needed a couple of large tree limbs cutting back.
Then back home to to watch Wales beat France

Got my cycling mojo back!
Did a 46 mile round trip to the delightful village of Balderstone nr Preston today. Perfect.
My left butt cheek is tender and I had to pull on the banister just to get up the stairs to get changed when I got home

Sunday afternoon:
I'm not sure if the flood water has receded on my usual route and i don't like to guess, so a different direction and head for the hills!
22.5 miles in total. A ride up onto higher ground to avoid the flooded areas in the low-lands, nice views, a mix of country lanes to be carefree on and 60mph nation limit roads to be careful on. A nice enough day but found it breezy again, the final 6 miles homeward exposed against a blustery westerly, i struggled far more than usual, took me a while to realise my right leg is doing more pushing than my left, feels like the return of an annoying left knee ailment...

Inspired by a birthday present of The Rough-Stuff Archive ( all the images are inspiring, but the one on page 88 is ridiculous), I set off from Penzance on my touring bike with a plan to cross the moors to various prehistoric sites, including Nine Maidens. The usual climb out of the town and past Chysauster, and eventually I took to a rocky bridleway which became a narrow, boggy track enclosed with gorse. Tried carrying the bike, as shown in the book, fell into a swamp, and gave up. Bruised, scratched, wet and muddy, I decided I preferred the road and rode home along the coast to St.Just and completed the round trip.
I’m utterly amazed by the exploits of the Rough-Stuff crew. Get hold of the book, if you haven’t already.

The weekend is the one time of the week I can guarantee not to do any cycling at all

Late post, sorry.
My house is being re-roofed and the scaffolders blocked in my bike shed so my best bike was out of bounds. I managed a reasonable distance on my commuter (Pashley Sov.) but I was glad to be out and about in this latter end of the year. Beautiful autumn colours up north now.

Last weekend I didn't ride at all (but did manage 50 miles on Monday to make up for it). This weekend I'm taking my bike to Whistler for a ride with one of Mrs H's cousins (we're in Vancouver for a bit catching up with family & meeting our newest grandchild).
