Not been by for ages, hubby got covid real bad and is now "long Covid". My day today was just a pootle really only 16 miles, but the voodoo is doing good. I year old and 3000 miles Finally got us a new bike shed built. He's able to do stuff, but with help from me too. Lots of other work going on too, but he's done a good job. Now gotta get his stamina up to get back into longer rides.

It works so well this kick butt stuff. I went out on my own yesterday as knew the weather would be too much today and sometimes I really do have to find the motivation, but glad I did. Only 15.5 miles around my familiar route, but it was worth it.

Nor I.... We had a great deal of snow but managed to get out today the both of us. His new Merida eBig Nine 2021 hardtail has been blinged up with blue touches and he's enjoying it. Our day out today was on 22 miles. but mud, wet and ice were on the cards, still lovely day had. GH, I too have to work 12 .5 hours shifts and the trying to fit in 8 hours of sleep ca be difficult. I only do nights, and as you know we are nurses, sometimes I find it difficult as by the time I've got changed to come home and like you need time to unwind I may only get 6 hours in. However the riding helps me destress greatly, fantastic for my mental well-being. From thi

Murky day out today....

Not ridden for near 4 days, desperate to get out, just felt too sore, then as we are both nurses we got our vaccines and I reacted as I normally do to vaccines, very badly. Whereas my hubs got a headache and a sore arm, I got the full on flu feelings with a high temperature all the shivering you could do and felt pants. Shame it was a perfect day to get out on my Voodoo. 13,000 miles that is great riding and a great bike...would you buy another haibike GH as and when needed ? Welcome Sunstoner, looks like you had a nice day out. John, happy new year to you, now that looks like fun. DC hi too.

Happy new year all. Was thrown off my bike the other day by a very horrible pedestrian on the bike lane, came crashing down...bike fine new light scraped, but me not so good, fair bit of bruising on my right side, no broken bones though. On a day off stretch for 8 days so hope to get out and about in these Shropshire hills and countryside for a few miles. Just lucky to have these bikes to de-stress his and hers type thing. His....then mine (him obtaining a new hardtail merida big e 900 after selling the haibike to my brother, now we have 6 shimano batteries and 2 motors).

Hi Snafu, looks like you had a wonderful time. I love Scotland always feel at home when I cross that border. Isle of Skye being my most favourite part. Bit late but working nights and being a nurse I've only just managed to catch up with stuff and cook a proper dinner today, albeit back at work tomorrow. So with out much ado HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you all and here's hoping for a much better New Year at some point.

65 miles done in the last 7 days, just another 70 miles to go before 31st, but gotta fit it in between my nights on 23/24th then 28/29th.

GH, Your haibike is like the old working horse, hubby's haibike now 5 years, is still standing the test of time as well. We did a bike ride out yesterday in 2 parts. Hubby has had to be persuaded for some time to do some night riding and he seemed to enjoy it. 25 miles in the daylight and then a 30 miler in the evening, kn@kered but very enjoyable. We are off this week on leave, very much needed, but trying to fit in good rides on the best days, given this time of year. I think at times you need to enjoy the fact we have batteries and motors and putting it up into a higher assistance at times really isn't such a bad thing and most enjoyable too. Sometimes after a 12.5 hour with no break and on your feet, I can't deny I ride home in boost (high mode to haibike riders). Off out mountain biking tomorrow as it may be our last chance as we will more than likely go back into lockdown come the end of December. 57 for my next birthday so not far from you, but couldn't do without a bike now.

Done just the 20 miles today with Mr. Dom, nice day and very lucky where we live for some nice views....

28.5 miles today, not the nicest weather but it's that time of year. Got through some really sticky mud, just about infact we got filthy. So some road work was needed to shake it off. Misty, mizzle....

I want one , great video.

It certainly will. Replacement knee on the way by the sounds of it, would be a preferred choice but certainly wouldn't go private on that one I've known too many issues as they are only in it for the money and that includes my mother. Although pain will dictate, I suppose. I could do with a body transplant really, but don't think we do that on the NHS at the moment Had the Voodoo Bizango E since April and although I don't do as many miles as you do, already up to 1600 miles

Sometimes a bit of road work to get to nicer places. Got me a painful left had, wrist and arm from a patient who was violent, so bit more road work than normal. The Voodoo does me proud.

I've only got the 2 ebikes now so no chance of using a non ebike. I'll get some photos of my ride today up at some point. I have ridden my son's bike before now and surprised myself too....all this getting out more frequently and riding in eco does pay off and I was fitter than I ever though I was.
