LeCol 2026 - New Year New Gears

Evening Ride

Morning Ride

Quite a few close passes from cars in some sections so it was quite a surprise when an unruly pomeranian was the one to take me off the bike and not a motor vehicle. Went looking for a hilly route I could do in under an hour, this definitely needs some tweaking. 

In the main pretty happy with the route, not the best ride I've had this summer but that's in part to poor gearing and positioning choices by myself on some of the unfamiliar roads meaning my legs had to work harder than intended. 

Major low light was a group of friends and family out on a walk with their dogs on long leads stretched right across the road on the 18% climb, I called out in advance to give plenty notice but was duly ignored and had to go on 9ff the road and put my foot down to avoid hitting one of their dogs. Unfortunately these things happen so I wasn't overly bothered at first but the fact only the youngest daughter apologised while the rest just looked indignant told me everything I needed to know 😠 Unfortunately the only option after that was to walk up the rest of the hill.
