Re:
Variations on a theme pt x
Circumstances conspired against me for the last 2 days, but not today. Time in the saddle is wellbeing time. Those were two very long days.
28°c when I went out, so not the full heat of the day, but not far off. Energy sapping, almost no breeze and the trails parched.
Had to try and stay off a couple of the local quiet lanes, as several had been surface dressed, and after a couple of numbnutted drivers had peppered me with gravel I decided on the nearest available escape.
A couple of new footpaths today. One, well trodden, across a field of barley. Fortunately, even though I've been riding a lot of footpaths recently, I've not been subjected to any abuse....yet

Nice work folks!
It's Friday, it's 17 degrees with a nice breeze, the trails are bone dry - the stoke is real!
Saw the guy who called me the c-bomb yesterday. He kept his mouth shut today

All aboard the Skylark!
Breezing across the fields, early, still 18°c, but early. Glorious morning, skylarks rising up warbling away as I head across to Bury Green. I'd like to stop and watch but no time this morning, I'm commuting and as usual time is tight, so I have to push on.
5 minutes away from the office I have to stop as my first team meeting of the day is about to start and I don't want to miss it. So I park up on the bridge that's not a bridge anymore and do the call there.
Good points - quiet, until 8 am, when sleep walkers and the new breed of stumblers appear. They're not joggers : they don't jog. They're not runners: they can't.
Bad points- going home mid-afternoon, heavy off-road traffic.
Great day, great riding. Annual leave next week = more riding time

Errand to run beyond Stargate! Road was best option but couldn't face it on way back. Discovered a new track & potential others.
Used a great app I discovered last week called ClearWaste for reporting fly-tipping. Sadly lot's going on at the moment.
