At the start for another years #RideToTheSun

Hodiaŭ mi aliĝis al la veturo al la suno, kiu laŭ mi estas la plej bona bicikla sperto.

Ride to the Sun

Make Ride to the Sun your next cycling challenge. 100 miles through the night on lovely quiet roads from England across the border to Scotland.

Ride to the Sun

Thankfully there was plenty of better footage to go into this #RideToTheSun 2024 compilation video.

11 hours, and 100 miles, condensed to 18 minutes, featuring lots of cyclists, a piper, a cycle rave, Edinburgh and the sunrise over the Firth of Forth

I'm not saying some of the route was rough (actually, I am, some sections of it were atrocious! 😞) but the image stabilisation on the #GoPro had an "interesting" time of it.

(Yes, I'm still editing down footage)

One downside of doing a 100 mile ride rather than (well, actually in addition to...) the usual 15-20 mile one is that you end up with a similarly inflated amount of video to edit afterwards.

Currently waiting for 34GB of video to transfer from my #Insta360OneRS to my laptop so I can start on that 😀

We made it. 100 miles, overnight, to Cramond just north of Edinburgh.

(we've been here a few hours now. Waiting for the bus to pick us up

All aboard! Bikes packed on the trailer here in Liverpool. Next stop Carlisle for the start of the #RideToTheSun

Just happened upon this old blog post http://www.mcqn.net/mcfilter/archives/torino/here_today_gone_tomorrow.html which starts with "Well, the mammoth bike tour is over"

That was ~200 miles of cycle touring spread over almost two weeks round Italy, which was awesome.

However, tomorrow a bunch of us will be heading up to Carlisle and then riding 100 miles to Edinburgh in *a single night*

Admittedly I won't have ~30kg of tent on the back of the bike, but I think it's some sort of fitness progress 😀

McFilter: Here Today. Gone Tomorrow

@WilliamNB it’s not soppy, it’s honest and resonates, a lot. Keep doing what you do Will, I enjoy reading your stuff.
I’ve done some things on and off the bike this year that I’m proud of. Especially #ridetothesun 100 miles through the night, and #BreaktheCycle Glasgow to Edinburgh, where I raised a fair bit of £ for a homeless charity. I also managed to drink a fair amount of beer with good people. 😎
Have a good one, and here’s to 2023 🍻
Winter Solstice sent me in search of summer solstice photo memories from #RidetotheSun
3.30am at #Cramond after 100 miles through the night from Carlisle. Biblical storm and chippy tea food stop at #Moffatt included in the non existent entry fee.
