Brakes and Cakes

This website follows the outdoor adventures of Debs and Jo. In 2017 they completed a very long bike ride. Check out what we’re up to now!

Lovely evening for a quick ride yesterday with @teamdolly on her new handbike. Mel will be attempting the World Record for hand cycling Lands End to John O’Groats in 9 days next month - 100 miles a day on a hand bike is quite some feat! Give her a follow and see how the attempt unfolds. We’re aiming to join her for a couple of days. . . I got in from work after 7pm last night after a long day and could easily have stayed in, but it was such a beautiful evening and I knew even a short ride is good for the soul. And it was. It’s #mentalhealthawarenessweek - being outside is of huge benefit mental health, and in the evening sun, there’s not much better. . . #getoutside #osmaps #osmapping #mentalhealthawareness #cycling #handcycling #lejog #stamford #visitstamford #eveningrides #roadcycling #breeze #womenscycling #explore #exploreyourbackyard #feelgoodcycling
Climbed Pen Y Ghent yesterday under glorious blue skies with my sister and 9 year old nephew. It was his first attempt at climbing a mountain and he did awesome - loved the climbing sections and was well ahead of us most of the way up. Plenty of snack and drink stops on the climb up too. After cooking beans at the summit on the camp stove we walked back down, which was tougher for everyone - where’s the motivation when you’ve been to the top of the mountain already? The promise of ice cream got us back down in the end. . . It might only be a five mile round trip but it’s a decent workout and a great one for kids - you can see the top for most of the climb up and down, there’s scrambly sections, an easy loop to the top and back and great views all round. And ice cream back in the village 👍. First thing the trail is always busy with three peakers but leave it a few hours and it’s nice and quiet. . . A great day out in the Yorkshire Dales. . . #getoutside #osmaps #osmapping #yorkshiredales #yorkshiredalesnationalpark #yorkshirethreepeaks #penyghent #threepeakschallenge #hortoninribblesdale #familydaysout #walkswithkids #familywalks #visityorkshire @visityorkshire @yorkshiredales @pottyadventures @getoutwiththekids
Had a lovely time riding the @iowrandonnee again. Pleased it was not as hot as last year! Thanks to all of the volunteers who provided amazing cake at regular intervals. That’s our kind of ride 👍🍰🚴‍♀️☀️ . . #iowrandonee #isleofwightrandonee #iow #isleofwightrandonee2019 #isleofwight #visitiow #sportive #100kbikeride #randonee #100km @visitisleofwight #cycling #roadcycling #womenscycling #girlswhoride #breeze @hsbcukbreeze @letsrideuk #mekk #mekkbikes
Sat waiting for the train to work thinking how much I love this thing in front of me. Today it might have only taken me 13 miles through the mist, but it’s also taken me to the Colosseum in Rome, through the Rocky Mountains in the USA, across Japan, to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. . . A simple but effective machine. When I look at it I just see endless possibilities. (And a very long headset, yes) . . #cycletouring #bicycletouring #cycling #cycletheworld #ridetheworld #cycleeurope #cyclingeurope #touringbikes #getoutside #surly #surlylht #surlydisctrucker #lovethisbike #lovemybikes #womenscycling #adventurecycling #ridetowork #cyclecommute #bicyclecommuting #cycletowork #bikesandtrains #ortlieb #ortliebs @spacycles @surlybikesuk @surlybikes
