You come across some dangerous wildlife out in rural Derbyshire #cycling.

There's another Mining Community memorial on the way in to Alfreton. That's 3 on my #cycling route through the ups and downs of Derbyshire.

Just stocked up on energy bars from those lovely people at Long Eaton Cycles. BOGOF offer. Get them while still in stock (or before I buy them all).

This driver couldn't wait for me to get through the pinch point #cycling so he squeezed through too close. He'll just get a warning letter from the police. I'm o.k. with that if it makes him think twice next time. Even better if he tells his family and friends.

This driver might get more than just a warning letter for this close pass since their MOT expired 2 days previously. So an unlucky Friday the 13th for them. #cycling

Another driver that couldn't wait until I got through the pinch point so decided to go on the wrong side of the bollards. I pulled up behind them at the lights at the bottom of the hill. I wonder if it was worth it? #cycling

Longest ride of the year yesterday. #cycling Not much climbing though.

Only 55 miles this weekend #cycling. A bit more lumpy though.

Just popped in to see those lovely people at Long Eaton Cycles to arrange for a bike service and they gifted me these!

Gave the bike a good work-out after its service Long Eaton Cycles. Replaced chain, cassette and brake pads. Good as new! Thanks, guys.

This driver thought it would be a good idea to overtake me #cycling just before a blind bend. Good job the other driver had his wits about him.

400 miles #cycling for the month takes me past another milestone since I bought my Garmin in June 2023.

Another driver that has urgent business on a Sunday morning and thinks the rules of the road don't apply to him. After playing it back I realised my reaction was 'Ooh. A bit naughty!" That's quite restrained for me. #cycling

For medical reasons I'm barred from #cycling for 2 weeks. I hope some of the 400+ miles I did in July are still in my legs when I start back. I hope the weather holds too.

I'm back! #cycling Got called a wanker, got close passed and had an altercation with a woman fiddling with her SatNav. I've missed all that.

What a lovely morning to be out #cycling. Managed 36 miles today.

As promised Kim B 🏏🤎🤎🤎🏏 and WG RumblePants Introducing a bit of cravatery Nottinghamshire CCC for today's play. What a great day Dave Bracegirdle.

Hi Derbyshire CC Erewash BC. Are you aware of rubbish dumped near the top of No Man's Lane between Stanton-by-Dale and Dale Abbey?

Just got back from Malta. Narrow streets. Loads of cars. Not one on the pavement. #pavementparking

Derbyshire looking a bit autumnal on Sunday morning, #cycling
