Today's Ride

[MattiThundrrr]

Earliest I've ever gotten out on the trails. Just a short scoot around the neighborhood trails on Monolith
Because the aquatic vegetation hasn't sprouted yet, I was able to find an old mossy beaver lodge. I wonder if it's still in use

Stuck the big wellies and the skinny fork on the bike for some sunnywindy mud grinding...be careful out there though, still a wee bit nipple-y!

..back on track



..up to the pole

..Stanage Pole

..down t'other side to the reservoirs at redmires



..overflow




..if i was to ride the loop home from here, t'would be just boring road, through Lodge Moor, so i went back up to Stanage



..around the ridge



..stopped for a rest, well it is Easter Sunday



..and back home


..then the cranky old phone ran out of battery

Took out the old faithful Rockhopper for my first ride since smashing up my ankle, a leisurely 15 miles along the Blandford Trailway. A slow ride but a rides a ride eh

Started carefully today, but dry trails, some coffee and proper music made me forget about that, and gave the old lady everything what was in the barrel. Even the old tires and plastic pedals survived, so we can call it a day.

The Trailway is a fun but can get a bit busy at either end. Mostly dog walkers who don't seem to understand the concept of sharing outdoor space with cyclists. The railway is going to extend northwards, a bit, which will be a nice. Maybe new track down this year?

Oh yes, it was busy - on the whole the people I met walking their dogs were respectful as was I but there's always a few who aren't.
