    My Fan Of… this week is another rainy day on the bikes with some strong winds added for good measure. We’d promised ourselves a quick 10-mile ride to blow away some cobwebs, so we decided to head to the Forth & Clyde Canal. The day we chose started out rainy & windy but was forecast to clear up by 0900. Susan looked out & said the forecast was wrong, & it was going to rain all day; she was right.

    We wanted to get out on the bikes, though & so got our wet weather gear and set out into 20mph winds & horizontal rain? & headed to the Canal.

    We were a wee bit drookit by the time we got there

    A Ride Instead of a Walk — #WalkingSquares

    Hi All đź‘‹ My entry for Becky’s November WalkingSquares.

    With some of our trails, paths & roads now covered with leaf mulch & mud, we’ve got some new grippier tyres (Schwalbe Smart Sam Plus) for our bikes. I fitted them the other day & yesterday was our first time out on them to see how they handle the conditions. We headed up to Palacerigg Country Park on tracks that we wouldn’t have ridden on the original tyres; the new ones did very well
