Looks like your cycle lane is perfectly aligned with summer solstice sunrise.
Are there hippies or druids in your town planning department?

I spent my childhood in Devon and whilst one of the sights of the summer were Swallows and Swifts, the sound was the Skylarks that nested in the fields behind my house.They fly up and sing above their nests, during the mating season. They nest in my local park too and I love sitting there and listening to them. Takes me back!
The first real warm weather of the summer is very welcome after months of rain! 23C at 8:30pm. 16km ride.
This Karakoram has been through many incarnations...it's a kind of a BMX cruiser at the moment.

You wait all winter for some sun to sit by the ponds and then they fill up with algae 
- There's some huge fish in there though.
I took a different route today through some lesser travelled parts of the park...
The deer use the Bracken as cover for their young in July/August, so tend to keep away from it then...

It’s 95° F with 90% humidity, no breeze
I didn’t bring the helmet with me, for the above reason, so I didn’t get to do anything crazy besides putt around the black trails and I found some cool stuff back there
This last one is hard to get a perspective on, it’s so steep I could not climb back up it without using all fours, the way down even just crawling on the brakes had me on one wheel more than a few times, super cool
If I had a downhill bike this would be absolutely sick to hit at speed

Just a quick shakedown ride to get the new build set up correctly.
A lovely evening, and a super new (to me) frame and fork. The bike is just so much fun, I got carried away and fan out of daylight

Typically bonkers weather. Yesterday was sea fog whilst a mile away it was wall to wall sunshine. With a slightly stronger wind, the fog has jogged on. So 14 degrees, felt like 12 but the suns strength is coming through and a good sweat was on by the time the ride was over. Westerly 10-12mph breeze. Getting the legs ready for round 4 of the SWXC series, or operation not last as I like to call it
