Today's Ride

[CassidyAce]

@CassidyAce where abouts do you live? Looks nice in the pics

Canterbury. The first photo is Tankerton, Whitstable's less celebrated neighbour, and the second is from Littlehampton, with Herne Bay in the background. Almost all my seafront photos are from the stretch between Whitstable and Reculver. There are plenty of grotty looking spots nearby, too; I just don't bother taking photos of them.

I went on an afternoon ride yesterday, armed with a couple of IPA's and a good book.
First down to the harbour

I like your style!

60 miles on the red pace today, kinda day/bike packing so i could mash up and make my food trail side. Well happy but well tiresome,been a long time since o had a proper full day pedalling. Rigid with narrow tyres were interesting haha

Just my 15 mile round trip commute on the diy ebike. Looks odd but rides really well.

Ride to Faversham today: 30 miles, about 21 degrees, good breeze for cooling. Up and over the Crab and Winkle Way to the outskirts of Whitstable, then along the (not remotely picturesque) Thanet Way to Seasalter.

The view from Seasalter, looking back towards Whitstable:


Pretty much the middle of nowhere:




Marshland as I was approaching Faversham:


And Faversham itself, where I stopped for a drink and an obscenely large piece of cake:



Some poppies that caught my eye on the way back (with the Isle of Sheppey and the Thames estuary in the distance):


Altogether, a very enjoyable ride on a great day for riding.

It occurred to me today that I'd not been out for a ride for over a month. As I needed some time and space to think over some important decisions, a bike ride seemed like the ideal thing to do.

Dull sky, but humid and sweaty climb onto the SDW. View looking towards Cocking and Midhurst.
Headed to West Harting to rediscover some trails I'd not ridden for 15 years. Bloody brilliant stuff! The twisty singletrack has not been ridden much, so the turns were a bit slippery and difficult to see due to leaf accumulation.



As I headed back to the car, I experienced an epiphany and had the answer to the problems that had been vexing me.
It just proves that cycling is good for your mental wellbeing!
