Today's Ride

Good Friday and good riding conditions: 17°C, sunny, shorts and T-shirt weather. It was too good to miss, so I went springtime cruising for 30 miles, over the Crab and Winkle Way, the outskirts of Whitstable and to Faversham—then back again. With the warmth in the air, the blossom on the trees, lambs in the fields, bees buzzing, the hedgehogs out of hibernation, signs of rejuvenation all around, it's easy to see why Plato used the Sun as a simile for the Good. It was nice out.

Those tracks look incredibly dry, lovely. Nice view from the peak as well, and what a gorgeous bike.
 
Today's ride wasn't a ride, but it's a route I've often ridden through the summer and I'm intending to ride it soon. Had some burgers and went to the east coast here to visit the castle ruin. Its a sort of island based ruin, connected to the mainland by a small stretch of stony path which sometimes is claimed by the tide. The structure that is left dates back to around 1313 and its a lovely area to watch the setting sun.

There is a lovely hilly bit of woodland next to it I often have ridden. 20220417_201514.jpg 20220417_202026.jpg 20220417_202545.jpg 20220417_202548.jpg 20220417_202905.jpg 20220417_205659.jpg
