One of those days where you hum and haw over the potential rainfall, eventually say sod it and go out.

Rained approx 30 seconds after the picture

Well @Gtpulse , if we are going to do bikes and castles... Here's a (good) shot of a priory/castle and a (bad) shot of my Spa Titanium following my descent from Porte de Balés.

Quite a bit more adventurous than I can manage. I remember holidaying in Carcassonne not a million miles from there and being shocked at how steep the hills were the one time I attempted to ride out!

I managed a (bad) shot of both bike and castle. Will try and up my game next ride.

Did someone mention Bikes and Castles !

Spent some time plotting out different routes using bridleway maps, managed to link up a couple of different towns I'd thought wasn't possible which lead to a nice slow and steady 50k. Bonus borderline graff spotting day too

Bikes and....bark?

Saturday morning murk(y). Absolutely no chance of any sunshine. Damp.

This morning, almost non-existent NWN breeze. Mild, 12-13 degrees. Started off clear as a whistle but an hour later the murky conditions returned. Low visibility on Chapel Carn Brea

First officially chilly morning of the season according to moi. Clear skies, very high thin cloud, 6-7 mph NE breeze, 8 but felt like 6 degrees, right on the verge of legging and thermals but I held out with layers, long sleeves, jacket, snood and shorts

Glorious sunrise followed by a puncture late on. I haven't had one for ages so it was a bit of a novelty fixing it
