drinking hot chocolate from a flask and shivering, quite the contrast from yesterday ! #surlyghostgrappler #muddylaneconnoisseur #grassupthemiddle

Even the best bikes in the world can’t inspire me when every grinding pedal stroke costs a penny in parts, still coffee was had and another epic seven miles were conquered #singularperegrinemk3 #randonneurbike #grassupthemiddle #muddylaneconnoisseur #wizardworks

first bench book of 23, no rain, warm sunshine, hot chocolate, sausage roll, 26 miles #grassupthemiddle #randonneurbike #surlyghostgrappler #muddylaneconnoisseur

In January in England you have to grab whatever sunshine is offered you, there must have been a whopping fifteen minutes or so this morning, so I took it with gratitude before the next two hours of rain came …….. #grassupthemiddle #surlyghostgrappler #muddylaneconnoisseur

Six rides in and this @singularcycles Gryphon is working out really nicely for me, apart from tweaking the saddle height and putting a smaller gear (36x20) on it’s exactly as it came from the shop

The ride is light and nimble which is always a bit of a challenge with such a big bike and a heavy rider, the tube selection and geometry just right for what I want it for which is basically a bike for winter in the back roads and muddy lanes of Cheshire and Lancashire, the basket bag carries the brewing up gear, binoculars and a book, the saddle bag carries the bike spares, dynamo lights mean I’m never getting caught out by the short winter days

All in all I’m very happy with the choices I made to spec this bike and of course the help in finding the right bits and pieces from Shona and Rich at @keep_pedalling

This morning had it all, spring sunshine, old school club bikes, randos and singlespeeds, pizza and cider, bike walks, collapsed canals, and plenty of tea and smiles 😊#inevergoforawalkwithoutmybike #muddylaneconnoisseur #grassupthemiddle
