Our first electric bike test ride event is just around the corner & it's probably our favourite track - the Lee Valley Velopark outdoor circuit. This is followed by #Bath, #Leeds and then London again.
If you're free on the 19th of April & want to test ride over 150 e-bikes and #mobility trikes in one place, here are the tickets:

Cycled the Downs Link from Christ's Hospital to Brighton via Shoreham-by-sea. A large segment of the route goes alongside the River Adur. We were lucky with the weather for once! Lovely day and a great ride.

Second photograph taken at the same point. I'm not sure which one I prefer.

Slightly warmer today but misty (and damp). Nice cycle ride along the Worth Way in Sussex.
Yesterday was not quite as nice a day as the day before but I wanted to take on a longer cycle ride than usual. Headed out to Christ's Hospital by train to then start cycling down the Downs Link to Shoreham by Sea and then along the coast to Brighton, where I got the train back.
Spitting with rain the whole time with some pretty bad headwinds but a lovey ride nonetheless. The scenery along the Downs Link is beautiful. Highly recommended.

So the sun finally came out properly today! Lovely ride along the Worth Way in Sussex in warmer temperatures with sunshine.

I am so confused by this sign.
Photograph taken on the Worth Way (NCN 21), east of Crawley near Rowfant, this morning before it started raining (again).

I encountered the Schrödinger driver today: in so much of a rush that they couldn't give way to the cyclist (me) even though I had priority but also had so much time on their hand that they could try to chase me down to do something to me. 😡
I was cut up by a driver coming in from a side street, a driver that should have yielded to me. I yelled (without any profanity) that they could have waited a second. I continued on my way only to hear some honking of horns. I looked back and saw the car stopped in the road. I ignored it and kept going on my way. A minute later as I was entering a cul-de-sac, I heard a horn again, very loud, and looked back to see the driver chasing me in their car. They had to have done a 3-point turn to change direction to chase me.
The cul-de-sac has an exit for cyclists and pedestrians, which is where I was heading anyway, so simply kept going and ignored the driver.
Hey hum.
Luckily, the rest of my 20 km ride was uneventful and the sun was out (for once).
🚴♀️ Decoding Cycling Club Names 🚴♂️
Ever wondered about those club suffixes?
🔹 Wheelers: Dates back to "High Wheelers" (Penny Farthings!). Usually the original town club.
🔹 Clarion: Historic roots in the 1890s socialist movement. Built on fellowship and community.
🔹 Paragon: Meaning "perfect diamond." These were the elite, serious racing breakaways.
🔹 RC (Road Club): Formed specifically for the sport of racing, rather than social touring.
Raining today (what a surprise!) but needed to go out for a ride as the week's not been great. I didn't actually get too wet luckily and I definitely feel better for having gone for a ride (20 km).
But it definitely would be nice if all of this rain would stop for a few days at least...
