it´s brand-new and the road is one-directional leading up the eastern part of the mountain and then another one-directional strip of same quality tarmac down the mountain a bit more to the west again. pure pleasure
The moment when the engine noises, the honking horns and all the other sounds of the city slowly become quieter and quieter and all you can hear is the rolling sound of your own tyres and the chirping of the birds is simply amazing.
Good morning everyone, have a nice day and a nice weekend!

Mostly roads today, I had planned to take something actually retro, my GT Edge as it was all tarmac on the planned route. That didn’t work out and was pleased I ended up on something I could take through the woods for the last couple of miles! I’m finding the bridleway/woodland/tracks type routes much more interesting than the road stuff.

I've seen a couple of posts on here recently featuring some nice Ribbles (@winjohn @vcballbat ) & it made me feel guilty that mines not seen tarmac for a few years.
Got it dusted off today & went for a spin around the lanes - I'd completely forgotten how nice it was to ride!
Couple of problems to sort out over the weekend: - front derailleur doesn't seem to want to shift to the smallest ring & there's a couple of spots of surface rust around the cable guides.
I need to find some touch up paint in canary yellow.

The relatively flat lands of Cheshire are rather less interesting than my usual cycling spots, but today did give me the opportunity to get a shot of a group of stags and my bike at the same time, while going through Tatton Park.
Also, I can't deny it is sometimes nice to have a little break from the hills...

I'm not going to ask you which one is your favorite, but I'm sure I am not the only one who is curious
