Sneaked out yesterday afternoon for @ 40km doing some local lumps. Just about 10km from home you really get into the hills if you head north and/or east. Lovely countryside, hard as nails, but so rewarding. This photo is from the top of near . It's a three step climb, short but very steep on the steps! I love riding my .

Unfortunately, my clubmate, Phil Cunninhgam, has today decided to scratch from the . He started a route, overnight, after the , that took him towards the but this morning still had @ 200km to do by midnight, tonight, in order to reach Check Point 2 () within the time limit. He's gutted, obviously, so we've all advised him to fill up on pizzas and beers (lots of), get loads of kip, be a tourist OFF the bike for a few days then get the train(s) home and surprise Mrs Cunningham early!

Attached are his final stats.

Just for reference, the leader, , has just entered , has done @ 2900km at an average of 494km PER DAY! He'll probably finish tomorrow!

Chapeau, Phil, you are AWESOME!!!

Sepp Kuss wearing a Jumbo Visma top with a chest panel design exactly similar to (my club) Dukinfield CC's pre-2022 tops! I expect goodies in return!

Just under 80km this morning with clubmate Ash. We headed west towards , into a 30kph headwind, then turned just after to head east with a stop at Ice Cream Farm (near ). Three triathletes were there, one still had their number on the seat post! After coffee we headed home with a nice tailwind, in time to catch stage 2 of the . Top morning.

Just under 80km today with , an easy, flat(ish) ride through north . The only serious climb of the day was up and the are at the top of the climb so a great place to stop for coffee and to refuel. And it gave Emidio the chance to take the obligatory selfie of us all (L-R Jon, Dan, Paul, me, Ash, Emidio). From there it was mainly downhill back to East . Lots of laughs, sun, no rain and good times!

Another excellent Dukinfield CC ride, this time to Farm Made Tearooms at , with Jane and Paul Nyland, Danny and Emidio. The cafe is in a glorious setting, near the bottom of . And you get the chance to see . The only drawback today was my chain snapping at the bottom of the Climb Of Doom, a.k.a. . I managed to get that sorted but walked up the climb as I didn't want to risk using my excessive wattage again in case I snapped it one more time. So that's a new chain and cassette I'll be ordering..

I had a great ride today with Danny, Dougie and Angie (fellow Dukinfield CC members). It looked a bit grim when we set off from Dukinfield but the sun came out once Angie left us at the top of Marsden Moor (image 1)! And we nearly got hit by a deer hopping across the road just after Scammonden Dam (image 2). Two hen harriers spotted, also. 75km, 1200m of climbing and great company.

About 10km from home on Sunday (I'd done @ 93km around the lanes by this point) I nabbed a shot of the Phil Foden mural on the corner of Wycliffe Street and George's Road in Stockport. For scale, I rested Osgar the Orro by our Phil. Phil is #47 for Manchester City FC and a lad. He's a top, top, top player. Mural by MANCHESTER MURALS (so it says!).

Just Dougie and I today. Only 54km but just short of 1000m of climbing! A great, local route taking in , , and . Pretty chuffed that I can still get up the 15%ers (and steeper!) in my 60th year and the @orrobikes Terra C helped, too. It's an amazing machine.
