Strava map showing a 31.3 mile (50km) bike ride from South Birmingham into the countryside around Earlswood. There was 1534 feet of elevation. It took 2 hours 14 minutes.

Ribble CGR all roads bike leaning against a white fence next to the Engine Pool at Earlswood Lakes.

Watery winter sun over the Windmill Pool at Earlswood Lakes. There are dinghys sailing on it.

Male cyclist in winter kit (orange and brown padded gilet over brown long sleeved cycling jersey and black full length thermal bib tights - all from the legends at Victory Chimp). He is standing in front 9f the Engine Pool at Earlswood Lakes.

Cracking 50km ride in the bonus winter brightness. Haven't been that far in the saddle since the big prang in France 3 months ago, it felt great to get out there again. Not even the close passes from various cagers could spoil that one!

Strava route map showing a 15.5 mile bike ride in Birmingham UK. If you squint a bit it looks like someone is flipping the bird at the Digbeth area.

Ribble CGR bike in plain metal finish.

Pre-ride photo of a cyclist in a purple helmet (fnarr fnarr), a cycling cap that has the slogan "CHIMPEUR" on it and a brown white and orange cycling jersey made by the awesome brand Victory Chimp.

First time back on the bike since diaplacing my acromioclavicular joint in France two and a half months ago. Not very far or very fast, but bloody hell that felt good!
