Today's Ride

Re:

Sunny, 14°c and a light breeze.
A couple of hours wandering around the border. A couple of places I've been before, a couple I haven't. Quiet. Enjoyable ride.

Wondering how many cars and lorries they've had to tow out of there before the sign was put up :D Area looks nice, reminds me of the east coast here in Denmark.
 
Re:

Another chilly start although a touch warmer than yesterday. I'm presuming because we can "exercise" as much as we want now, folks are spreading their activities across the day rather than get out early before the rush because it was super-quiet on the trails, much to my enjoyment :mrgreen:

Another poorly exposed shot plus a few others from another cracking Friday ride. The trails are super-quick.

Re:

Stayed inside the county lines today. Didn't have long as other commitments had eaten into the time I'd set aside.

A quick hour gets about 12 miles door to door, including photo stops.

Couple of jaw clenching bridleways reminding why I've only used them once before.

Nice and warm 16°c, a hint of cool air, nothing more, and like Al says, super fast trails. And very quiet - ace!

Re:

Warm, gentle breeze and dry - perfect.
Late afternoon as I've been having quite a bit of trouble getting going in a morning lately.

Stopped to listen to a cuckoo, and was taken aback when a couple a roe deer emerged through a hedge just up in front, were ride highlights.

Tried a couple of paths I've not used before, and am unlikely to use again, as they were brutal. After a couple a miles my headset had shaken loose and I couldn't manage more than about 10mph.

Our current daily exercise route (a few days ago when we had a little more sun!) TBH we’re struggling to find off-road routes not clogged with walkers... the road section often seems the quietest!

Re:

Made the (now becoming) regular Sunday morning ride a bit more demanding, adding a couple more hills. My partner caught me by surprise a couple of times, catching up much quicker than she has previously. She finished the ride with a smile this time.

Beautiful morning, warm, about 18°c and a gentle breeze. Trails were very dusty.
