Today's Ride

Todays ride, 28 miles total, went everywhere locally in a big loop
Pics are 50/50 phone and gopro

I set the tone for the rest of the ride by starting with the bit that’s usually under water 366 days of the year

That tone being “damp”
That is a state funded bike trail btw
And they’re paving an earlier section of it for some reason even though that section is fine, but this section is under water

I crossed a really sketchy bridge where the ties were crumbly

If you step on them wrong they splinter and then you die

And got to here for a cool break

And then wandered into the woods where I found a woodchuck

Nice ride to Faversham today. There was a nip to the wind early on but the temperature was up to about 20°C by late morning: perfect cycling weather.

Faversham was packed. Too busy to even wheel a bike through. Probably due to a classic car show in the town centre, so I headed to a nearby park to wolf down most of a bag of chocolate chip cookies while watching some sweaty joggers who looked they were trying to shed a few pounds.
