Today's Ride

[al-onestare]

NWN breeze, chilly 11, rising to 13 in the sun if you really put the power down. In other words, still cold and it's 5 July. I appreciate our Euro friends are really suffering at the mo...I'm happy to take some of that heat over the channel please. Blue skies with high cloud, creating hazy spots, as shown here at Sancreed Beacon. I thought I'd take a quick stroll off the road to get a better shot of the bay and the surrounds.

Really great ride but did I mention it's not very warm?

18°C already, back over here in the south east. Just saying...

Me grumbling about the chill is as bad as it gets here, so all good in the hood and I wouldn't swap it

This morning, milder, 13, 15 in the sun, chillier in the cloud. Slight NWN breeze. Within the immediate vicinity, very low thick cloud, but over the first set of hills, hazy golden sunshine, as demonstrated here between Madron and Morvah.

Look one way...

Look the other...

Didn't expect to see this a few miles up the road either. I thought I'd left this crap behind in the suburbs

15 apparently but with a stiff N breeze, make that 10-11, enough to put the jacket back on. Thick grey cloud.

Early calls this morning so a shorter route meant more hills to get the legs pumping. If you're ever visiting Lands End then you will have driven on the A30. National Cycle route #3 spurs off it now, taking you towards St Buryan which is a much nicer road

This Wednesday and Thursday I had a go at the King Alfred Way although having already done the South Downs Way and parts of the Ridgeway I was not sure how far I would get. In the end I got about half way starting from Salisbury and reaching Reading before deciding that 110 miles was enough for the time being.
Good weather for riding, mostly cloudy and not too hot but no rain, great scenery and landmarks with lots of ancient history especially along the Ridgeway, hydration was the biggest issue, four bottles were only just enough with so few opportunities to refill once you get out in the sticks.

I bet you wouldn't swap it! But please grumble every so often: I need it to stop me feeling overwhelmingly envious about that great scenery.

Road to the seaside with some friends.

Noted that 9 July was the first day we hit 20 degrees in 2022 With zero pollution, the clear skies mean you brown (red) in an instant - lovely stuff. This morning, wall to wall blue skies and golden sunshine, with - naturally - a stiff ESE breeze. I really feel for anyone who's done LEJOG this year, you needed to do JOGLE instead! Solid 15 degrees, much cooler in the secluded valleys.

Not much to say other than spot on!

Warm 17, thick high cloud, no chance of any breaks for the sun. Sweaty but ace, couldn't resist a spin up and down off the black stuff. Dusty trails are fine with me. I had a ton of fun so just the one stop for a shot looking back to Kenidjack and the trails I'd just come up from.
