Had a day off and did a 4 hour ride on the VA capital trail. Went much further than I planned. The forever punchline is the hill that leads to my house.... I always end up having to walk it.

I rode my bike 600 miles in 2024 and it's June 1st, 2025 and I'm over 500 miles for this year!
My goal for 2025 is 1,000 miles which I think is still doable as long as I don't have any injuries (sigh) and nothing else goes wrong.

Bike Month is back, and that means it's time for Pedal Poll! We're counting usage of active transit (and adjacent) facilities along corridors in our cities next week.
If you have 2 hours to spare, sign up for a shift!

Out into the mist on this morning’s Purbeck ride to Kimmeridge
#Dorset #bike #cycling

A foggy scene the chain ferry, with a large ship (Barfleur) partially obscured by mist. The calm water reflects the muted colors of the atmosphere, while the foreground features a concrete surface and a chain.
A scenic landscape featuring rolling hills, a river or bay in the distance, and fog hovering over the water. The foreground includes greenery and patches of yellow shrubs, creating a tranquil natural setting.

Today’s ride was tough but I got in 12 miles and saw a bird… I did see another large bird and a baby rabbit but didn’t get photos.

23km bike ride today, to one town over, stopped for coffee, got my brows done, and dropped the bike at a shop for some long-overdue maintenance. Need to replace the chain, worn cassette, stretched brake cables, and clean a winter's worth of road grime out of every crevice.
That'll take a week, so bussed home. Got another coffee across the street while waiting 3 minutes for a transfer.
Good day.

Cycling question: trying out saddles, in the UK
UK cycling people, is there somewhere you'd go to sit on different saddles to test if they're comfortable? Is that a thing?
I've worked out that my (default came-with-the-bike) saddle isn't the right shape for me: it's giving me an achy tailbone, as well as I think being a bit too narrow for optimal sit-bone comfort.
For context, I'm an "occasional cyclist for pleasure and/or practical reasons", shall we say. No ambition to be super fast.
Looking around online, I think I want something more like the Rido R2 or one of the Selle ones, shaped to have air under the tailbone area. Or maybe even a noseless one like the Spongy Wonder, though I don't like the look of how the metal frame sticks out at the front of those.
What's the chances a shop would have more than one of those and a willingness to get them out for a test sit? Or, better still, is there a loan scheme anywhere, so you can actually "test drive" them for a bit? Or do people usually just buy and be willing to sell again?
I'm in Nottingham, and I know there are bike shops I could get to, but I'm not seeing "come in and try all these saddles, we'll help you to find the right one" kinds of messaging.
Could also potentially travel elsewhere at some point if it turns out there's some kind of "best place in the country for that question".
Advice welcome!

Great ride today as I’m finally back home after being in Scotland for a week.

Finally whole again. Picked up a new refurb bike from revolve reCYCLING, highly recommend for anyone in Sydney.
Pictured in background, my beloved retro aluminium frame steed also from revolve. Alas, time has taken it's toll and the metal of the fear fork fractured. Looking to have it welded back together shortly.
