Ride the Trafalgar Way finisher 2022.
I have a problem with mudguards on this bike. Fins designed more for mountain bikes won't fit the aero seatpost & sets don't work cos nothing fits the front forks as there's not enough clearance. This one was from a set off an older bike #cycling

With the front brake nit working on this one and my other winter bike out of action.
I've now got 3 bikes, one with a broken mudguard and 2 with mechanical issues that need to be fixed and I don't know which to fix first 🤷‍♂️ #cycling

Bugger! That's put a stop to my winter cycling plans.
The brakes don't work on my gravel bike and now I've snapped the rear mudguard on the only bike I can rely on 😒 #cycling

The next couple of days are looking pretty grim as well. We've had a nice day in the southwest, I managed to catch a glimpse of the evening sky as the sun set.

Wasn't really in the best place to see it, but there was a lovely sky this evening as the sun set 🌅

Been to Clark's village shopping outlet today. Went Christmas shopping. New I'd end up buying something for myself 🙄
December 16, 2025 at 7:13 PM
There was a lovely sunset this evening, I just wasn't in the prettiest place to catch it

Haven't had an Otter Bright for ages. Cheers!

Popped over to Ilminster this afternoon which is looking rather lovely in it's Christmas lights #Ilminster #Somerset #Christmas

I ended up in Broadmead shopping centre and Cabot Circus. This part of Bristol I definitely haven't been to for years #Bristol #Christmas #ChristmasMarket 🎄🎁

I walled back to the Millennium Square and harbourside where tge Hippodrome is. I haven't been there for years, I've seen loads of pantomimes in there in years past 2/3 #Bristol #Christmas #pantomimeseason 🎭

I decided before I left that rather than head to Bath like I normally do I'd have a look around Bristol city centre instead. I headed for riverside and down towards the Cumberland Basin... 1/3 🛥⛴️ #Bristol #Christmas

Actually been on a train without the bike. Although it does happen it's rare.
Last time was 2021 to collect my car I'd deserted in Falmouth during the rail strikes.
TBH, it wasn't abandoned as such but left at a mates house while I was on Ride the Trafalgar Way.

Another slow start ☕️ Got to bed about 11 last night after my ride, woke at 8am. Breakfast had, now trying to decide what to do today.
Bath Christmas Markets, but done that 2 years ago.
Have a look around Bristol, haven't done that.
Or cycle ride to Bath but I'm the wrong side of Bristol TBH.

Before I went back I popped across to Chepstow to see Kevin at the audax control for the Severn Shiver 200 #cycling #audax

After the wild boar hot dog, there was a hill, a sunset and a cinnamon bun. Got back after dark but did about 80km yesterday 🌅🚴‍♂️ #cycling

After sunset I crossed the bridge
December 13, 2025 at 11:15 PM
Before that I had Morris Minors.
December 13, 2025 at 11:14 PM
I had bridges by sunset 🌅

If you go across it at night you can't see how high you are. Phobia solved.

I've had a banging headache for 2 days. Crashed into bed at 8:30 last night, woke just after midnight. Then at 6am this morning I felt even worse. I stayed in my hotel room watching shite Saturday morning TV until 12 and went out this afternoon. Got back at 9pm this evening.
December 13, 2025 at 10:34 PM
I was still out after dark. I ended up buying a new light yesterday as I'd left the charger for mine at home so I had to try it out
December 13, 2025 at 10:29 PM
Well today didn't get off to a great start and not doing the Wookies and Chewie today has left me at a loss. But I eventually got out of the hotel. However, I haven't got very far. Only out meandering for something to do I wound up at The Rustic Shed with a wild boar hot dog 🌭☕️😋 #cycling #Saturday

Morning! I've missed the audax, that left at 8am. Pesky headache was still there when I first woke and I wasn't feeling up to the cold 7am cycle to the start. I might head out the other way to Berkeley or Tintern instead #cycling
