A quick blast around my home roads. Using the quiet back lanes skirting Doncaster to head out towards the village of Tickill for a coffee stop before riding towards Rossington and back home via Lakeside and the cycle tracks to return home. A 45 km round route and a two hour ride with a few little hills to test the legs. I even managed to set a few new Strava records en route. 

We managed to book a few days away in the caravan which coincided with an unusual heatwave. With the sun beating down every day I managed to get a few rides in on the quiet lanes. Only short rides of 30, 18 and 23km but just felt good to back on the bike.

A weekend away in the caravan has coincided with warm sunny weather. So it's off in the caravan for a few days of relaxation and cycling. Decided on a 35km ride on the scenic country roads. Peaceful lanes and villages swept by in no time at all. The warm sun making every turn a joy. These lanes in this part of the country are just superb for riding. Smooth roads and hardly any cars to be seen. We found a fantastic cafe on the side of a lake with lovely coffee and scones. We will certainly be coming back. 

Just arrived back home from our Easter weekend away in the caravan. And the sun is shining.

On our Easter caravan trip to the city of York we took the bikes to get a few miles in. With Storm Dave brewing up in the distance we headed out with a fast tailwind. Turning to return the wind was straight in our faces and the speed dropped off. Was nice to get out for a ride with Sandra even if only a short spin. The weather is looking much better tomorrow after the storm had passed so a longer ride is planned. 

Planning for our 2026 cycling holidays are now complete.
