It was such a nice morning yesterday, I thought I'd take a picture of my leg as I cycled into Swindon :)

Chillmoister's photo of Urban_Biker, Me and Keeks on the Savernake Forest road during our YHA weekend sums up perfectly what I love most about cycling.

Although most of my life seems to be spent preparing for Audaxing, I would happily trade Audaxing for loading camping gear into my panniers and heading off down some country road (where the only time limits are Pub closing time).

so that's where the £9 goes; they have to go round the local schools in Selby warning schoolkids about giving directions to strange smiling men on bicycles....

I feel the need. The need for speed. Tonight was the first of the evening TT series. Desperately poor light so very few decent pics (by my son - I was riding. RR to follow). But a good event and a good turnout with 34 competitors.

A village in the Wylye valley, took when I still had a road bike. Went to the same place a few weeks back, but a) didn't take a camera and b) it were piddling down!

Ah...a bit further than my mental geography of the Wylye stretches.

interesting long barrow there; had a 12-13th cent knight buried in the top of it, sword and all!

How old was the barrow itself? This sounds really interesting.

Its a neolithic long barrow so circa 3500 - 3000 BC

it was opened by an antiquarian - Wm Cunnington probably - in the early 19th cent but I know Mike Allen did some recent research and fieldwork on it 'cos one of my students did some geophysics with him.  I think he published an article in the Wiltshire Archaeological Magazine a few years ago, copies of which are availbale in any good Wilts County library.

Nice to see Mike in front of the camera for a change. Brighton Mitre hilly TT a couple of weeks ago; somewhere on the Downs probably Longfurlong

Tried to update my photo yesterday. The angle is not quite right but it's close. Clouded over, too!


Different angle with a bit more bike in it.


You can just about see a swan on a nest in the background, the second one I saw in 24 hours.
