Today's Ride

Re:
At work from 07.30 today, but determined to get a ride in beforehand, then I can clean up when I get there.
So, despite last night's rain, I had to do it. Up at 05.30 and out the door ten minutes later. Up the long road drag, heading north, and onto the South Downs.

A bit murky up here! Nothing but the sound of tyres, and birdsong, bliss!
Down past a school, and onto a nice rooty trail, before heading across a deserted main road and up a 10 minute climb the other side. I was hoping to get a nice Sunrise photo up here,

But as you can see, I picked the wrong day! :roll:
Then after that, I went along a nice technical, rooty, singletrack section, before heading along the side of the river. I saw a little egret here, looking for some breakfast. Then I got to work.

As you can see, I was wearing a video camera. Sadly, it was pointing at my knees, so haven't added any videos. Looking in to getting a longer bracket, now.
Not long after this, I was having mine at work, along with one of the locals

Nothing happening at work, so took the opportunity to wash the bike. Having taken some chain oil in.

Re:
Nice fisher, Mike. It looks a little small for you, by the size of the seat post-kinda like my '91 Funk, at least a yard of seat post
Today-70 F. and beautiful out-we rode up Eldridge Grade on Mt. Tam about 1000' to the Lakes, which are totally full...
