Today's Ride

[al-onestare]

Glorious colours Mark...

Here's our effort, half term for my two.. so we popped over to Flamborough head, North landing and rode the coastal path to Danes Dyke.. mucked about a bit, Our Jimmy got up the courage to ride down into the Dyke! I prefer the bridge myself....Miss Peachy enjoyed the new freedom that Splatterpaints old Judys have given her Shaman... Mrs Peachy waiting at the refreshment hut with hot drinks and the car... I love it when a plan comes together.

Excellent stuff!

Yesterday's rain wasn't heavy but boy was it wet. Ended up joining jmc and Cooper for a very soggy morning walk.

Thankfully it was a different story this morning; still mild at 14 and still about that at 08:15, dry, almost clear skies. We've an early start tomorrow to head west for Project GTFOOL so no ride but I'll defo get a run in Saturday and Sunday morning by the sea

Two birds - can you spot them?

Glorious sunrise at Avery Hill Park, a favourite urban spot for Cooper who always finds something delightful to roll in :facepalm: This is looking towards Bexley and beyond so I swing right from here.

Busy day today but determined to get out for a ride. Managed to get a short ride in late afternoon/evening as the sun was setting.

Beautiful evening, not a soul about.

Peachy,here is a 1942 RAF Flying Map,Flamborough Head was a main navigation aid to the Bomber Boys up there in the war.

Cracking map... yes the headland was a very useful landmark to help the boys find the big emergency landing strip just in land at Carnaby where my Dad as a young lieutenant and electrical ground crew were waiting to help patch them up and push ‘em on..

I really miss Dorset, used to ride down there with the guys from X-Treme, cake at corfe, then the climb up past stone seat back to the ridge... Id love to ride it again... are there still group rides that gather on a sunday at the ferry??
