Today's Ride

[KayOs]

Some stunning architecture and photography!!!

Thank you mate, the upper Danube valley is really beautiful and always worth a trip.
We travelled from the source of the Danube in Donaueschingen to Sigmaringen and chose Wildenstein Castle as one of the places to stay overnight. As we had the children with us, we only did short stages so that they didn't lose interest.

Happy world bicycle day! (although it's world bicycle day every day )

You wouldn't know from this yesterday morning that an hour later it was solid blue skies and glorious sunshine, and in the afternoon, 20 degrees! The one day of summer arrived

He knows it too

Two very different castles visited today within a few miles of each other.

Solid grey skies, 10-12 W breeze, chill in the air 12 degrees felt like 10. That one day of summer has been and gone...

...still a solid ride. Always good to get the blood pumping

Had an hour off at lunchtime -- was a bit indecisive about riding because on the one hand, it was cold and a bit windy, but on the other, it wasn't raining and the sun was coming out.

On the basis that there are a couple of heavy work days ahead, though, I headed out to the usual dirt roads and forestry badlands outside town. The wind wasn't strong but continuous -- a bit like riding through a steady stream of cold water. Took it easy and went a bit further than usual, encountering some very wet, clayey mud well churned by forestry vehicles, followed by wet river sand -- the combination of which clagged up the tread of the tyres completely. But the sun broke through and I encountered a squad of kangaroos bounding along near the river.

20km, 262m climbing, in just over an hour.

Headed East today. Bloody stiff head wind on the way back, yet again

16C another cool day and I popped out for a quick ride in between the showers. I have so many photos of my bikes at this bench . This is one of my 'regular' circuits of Bushy Park, which I am lucky enough to live near.

Great blast yesterday evening after work. Deceptively chilly but glorious sunshine

 

[Southville Hop]

No work until this evening, so a trip to the allotment was in order. I managed to make the 2 mile journey into nearer 12 miles with a couple of pleasant detours.
