#MyCyclingWeekend with Decathlon - Strom Dodgers Edition

With biblical rain creeping up on us, it wasn't the best weekend to be caught without a waterproof.

We were suggesting tactical cafe stops would be needed and unfortunately we were right.

The really annoying thing about such changeable weather is being comfortable one minute, then cold when the rain falls and then getting too hot when the sun comes out. 

This infuriating weather led to lots of time spent removing and putting on the rain jacket.

Our winner this week looks like they saw their fair share of the rain but how amazing does the Northern Irish countryside look for riding a bike!

Footage of this morning’s ride shamelessly nicked from @loveroye. Out to Glenarm, back via Starbog. Some localised weather. Thoroughly enjoyable and - thankfully for me - completely uneventful. Good to be doing distance on the Émonda again. #instacycling #onanysunday #mycyclingweekend #fromwhereweride #tqcc #wymtm #cyclingni #trekbikes #glensofantrim #fudgefactory

For 99 $ I offer a visual inspection of your bycicle front wheel. On this picture I was captured listening to the aerodynamic afternoise to determine the angle of straightness(I am the only human being being able to do it only with ears). And u know what? This wheel was totally fine!

Loads out today. Nice waving to all the other cycle groups out and about on their rides. We managed 50.3 miles in 2 hours 45 mins today which was pretty good going. #timsburycyclegroup #timsbury #mycyclingweekend @decathlonuk_cycling #highlittleton #tunley #radstock #midsomernorton #eastharptree #westharptree #mendips #paulton #cycling #kask #wymthm #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #roadcc #cannondale #boardmanbikes #orbea #lazerhelmets #owayo #giantbikes #shimano #southwestisbest #cyclingheaven #lazerhelmets #rosebikes #orbea #Oakley #cyclingweekly #roadcc #bikeradar

Solo ride to finish the week; enjoying the beautiful countryside, fabulous roads and short sharp climbs around Yanworth and Chedworth. Coffee stop at Chedworth Farm Shop then a few more climbs before heading home. Surprised at how good the legs felt today after yesterday afternoon’s 80km ride and a very late night. #cotswolds #cotswoldcycling #ridecotswolds #cyclinglife #endurancetraining #instacycle #rideyourbike #roadslikethese #cyclist #sworks #sworkstarmac #iamspecialized #iamspecialized_road #coffeeandcake #mycyclingweekend #roadslikethese #whereiride #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #roadbike #lifebehindbars #bikelife #coffeeandcake #sundayride #mickeycrankscyclingclub #mickeycranks
