Quick 20mile on the Cheshire lanes with a coffee stop in Antrobus.
Good shout with the weather 🌞.
And back home to do some housework before midday...

Had a very similar scenario on an unadopted loose surface lane lane heading to a bridleway entrance, van heading from his house at speed coming towards a group in single file who moved over into the hedge and slammed on when shouted at to slow down. "It's my f-ing road"

There is so much connectivity in this area through motorways and dual carriageways but always seems to be on a knife edge of failure from a single incident. About 10 years ago I was stuck on the outskirts of Warrington for ~3 hours due to a lorry on the M56.

That would be a fine thing.
@williamnb.bsky.social's site has some background info re: bikes on trains

Says nothing about 1 wheel drive so I'm sure it'll be great

Yeah, I just had a Google and seems it might throw a wobbler with newer go pro files, but worth a shot for free.

I've previously got the virb software to work with generic mp4 video files

Braving the elements at the minute and going to have a wander around Moel Famau on Saturday, they and then see where the wind and rain takes me on my bike on Sunday

Are you sure your car didn't catch on fire or emit a crazy amount of black smoke and fumes because it wasn't running at the maximum stated speed of the road?

Seems to divert south from the TPT before it hits the posh bit before Lymm
That stretch between latchford locks and Lymm is really popular with walkers cyclists and horse riders, if I'm matching this up correctly
That entire stretch along the ship canal could do with a bit of help

In terms of clothing I bet high heels, sandals and other open toed shoes have caused more public harm/safety

Feels like one of those team introduce yourself questions when you don't have time to prepare so you just pull something out of thin air but your prejudice is showing.
I'm beyond disappointed, I have the displeasure to live in the constituency and this is the first I've heard since the election

I wish these were magnetic.... Bronze unfortunately 😕 I should have put the broken spoke into the head of it as soon as I removed it.
Spoke is now installed.... Tighten up tomorrow when I have some more patience.

Cheers, I've got a chain whip etc. just was stumped by the HG as everything seemed to always led to 23mm or no dimensions at all.
Appreciate the help!

Enjoy and good luck!
This was seen on the A5156 heading to the Gresford roundabout don't know if they continued on up onto the A483.
Tbh with the 483 you're more likely to have queueing cars (maybe not on a Sunday Morning)

I've done it before for a short stint or where it's dual but not national speed limit and taken the lane (still not very pleasant) but this poor rider was in secondary position. It took me close to zero effort to see them ahead, hazard check, move lanes and then continue on, without issue...

Got phased into the map my XXX apps are if I remember right? I think UA has got rid of those now

Very sad and yes definitely not good! Will have to see what comes of komoot going forward as I really like it for being able to quickly plan a cycle or a walking route on the go.

The wind was a challenge and can definitely feel this ride in my legs

I've survived, first time with the Brompton up to 25mph, should learn to trust (but verify) the capability of this bike
