First proper cold....

....ride of the year.

Thank you for the love on yesterday's blip, it was all down to Claire and her amazing makeup skills, she's got a job for life now :)

Even though I was partying till the early hours I still managed to get up and out for a bike ride, the extra hour in bed with the clocks changing helped. The cold fresh air was good on the lungs too and after about twenty minutes riding I felt right as rain.

We mainly stuck to towpath in and amongst the Black Country and ended up at Bumble Hole Nature Reserve. Just a quick stop there for a cup of tea, then we continued enjoying the autumn colours and crisp air going home.

I got back stripped the forks out of one of my mountain bikes ready to be replaced next week, put three of my best bikes down the cellar for winter and had a nice chillout in front of the TV before going to the Price's for dinner.

The weekend was a good one and like always over too quickly.
