Today's Ride

Re:

It's gonna rain, keep going. It threatened all the time I was out, but never actually got around to it.

Grey and overcast. Warm and blustery.

20 mile loop of the airport - mostly road. Busy, very busy. Drivers were quite civil and no NDEs to report

I looked for mud and barely found a splodge. Good times!

Mild out this morning with a misty haze obscuring the edge of the North Kent downs. Hardly anyone around indicating usual behaviours have returned. That's good for the ride but bad news for the environment.

Re:

Went out yesterday, in the rain - great fun. Did about 15 miles. Quite Warm and a slight breeze.

Little muddy in places, slippery in others.

Re:

Went out today also. Went for a blat along the Angles Way near Thetford. Original intent was to do some of the Peddars Way, but couldn't bloody find it, until we were on our way home. My fault for parking at the side of the road, away from the chocka car parks at Knetishall Heath.

Did about 15 miles before partner got tired. She's not used to rutted paths and bridleways, and gets fatigued quite quickly off-road. Mixture of quiet lanes (which she does really well on), bridleways, byways and couple of footpaths. There were also some quite big hills apparently, but I must have missed them.

Took some great photos, but most came out too big.

Weather couldn't have been better. Lovely day. Warm, about 24°c with an occasional light breeze.

Short blast round the local woods.

Re:

Another 20ish miles around Herts and Essex border. Big skies and balmy summer weather. Following my nose.

Re:

A glorious golden hour to start another week. Pretty sure my Steve Peat jersey adds at least 10mph to the shred. Mother nature was not impressed and told me to slow down.

Re:

Ahhh, so this is where it goes...

Commute in and out.

Changed the route home. Took in a team meeting on the way - bit weird, but what are you going to do?

Followed part of the Harcamlow Way again and (unknowingly) linked it up with a couple of trails I've not seen since early Lockdown.

Lovely ride in, temperature just right, about 14°c with a very light breeze. Ride home, a bit too warm, about 24°c and still.

My shins are smothered in nettle stings again.
