Today's Ride

Very mild today.
Havent been out on a bike for a while now, due to various reasons but really felt the urge today. Despite the weather turning drizzly by the time i had got my act together i headed out down a trail i had not ridden before.
The trail goes nowhere, as in it ends and there is no obvious link to anything else so is basically just a there and back kinda ride. Never really appealed to me before but after today i am glad i made the effort as not only was it something new to look at and explore, it was also quite enjoyable to ride. The weather was quite windy at times with the odd drizzle shower but it was very mild and shorts and top were plenty enough. The trails were holding a lot of surface water so it was quite a spraytastic ride, one to make sure your mouth was closed unless you were thirsty that is.
I love exploring, its something i have been lucky enough to be able to do most my life and as is the case, mainly due to the eyes seeing new things and having to register them, it always seems longer to get somewhere than to get back.
A very enjoyable ride.

Warm today.
A beautiful warm crisp wintery day, great day for a ride.
I had other things i was meant to be doing today but one needs to make the most of situations, so i went for a ride as it was definitaly a day to be outside.
I went down to a short trail that heads out to Bolsover and back through some senic nature reserves. A great little ride but can be quite popular with dogs taking their owners out for walks. On the way is one of the councils 'use the yearly budget up' projects, though this one is quite useful, to me anyway. I say me as i have never seen anyone else there, not suprised as it is not signed and is in a place seldom trodden by man. The trail is short but packs quite a bit in, plenty as a distraction from the longer ride ahead. Most the lakes and ponds were still frozen over, which is great for watching birds trying to land.
A great ride on a beautiful warm day.

Was he a cunning linguist?

He certainly had a talented tounge, 14 children! :shock:
Decided to go for a gentle ride today, which ended up being a bit longer but a really enjoyable one.
Headed over to the woods where Pines bike trails are though stayed out of there and rode some tracks around the outside. The air was cold but was quite mild when riding which meant i could put some effort into the short but sharp climbs. Some great far reaching views once up on top as most of around here is flatish.
Mostly dry trails with the odd puddle so going was fairly quick, great ride.
