Today's Ride

[PhillB]

Driest March in england , since records began in 1910 , with only 43% of average rainfall. I think i read that right. Tbh we could do with a drier and less stormy year as some people must be so p!ssed off with dealing with flood and wind damage. We don't need nuclear hot and droughts, though. Just less of the extremes.

I'm quite happy if it rains at night

We live close to Leeds so I was curious to find a route from home to the new eastern ring road that they've built. It's got accompanying paths and cycle routes all the way along it. Today was the day to find the way with my son on the back of the budget Kona, he's 20+ kg so maxing out the child seat. We managed about 25 miles round trip and I dont mind admitting that my legs were gone on the last big hill back to our village. Now having a well earnt scone and coffee. Next time I'll be going with his sister who can ride reasonable distances on her own, so we might do a bit better.

Norfolk today, lots of tracks very little road riding, about 30 miles in total. Beautiful weather, first shorts ride of the year. Importantly good cake was found.

Beautiful weather here too, the disadvantage of living in the mountains is that you can't find good cakes on your rides!

Found some suitable replacement pedals for the Explosif and set off to finish the ride I started yesterday. Very bright and sunny but still very breezy!
First had to cross the M3 on the bridge that carries the King Alfred's Way route. Lots of traffic headed for the South coast!


Alongside my son's golf club from where you can see across to the Isle of Wight.


Up a bit of KAW singletrack


To the top of Cheesefoot Head where Eisenhower addressed the troops just before D Day, now the site of the Boomtown Festival



A quick water break before the 4 mile downhill run home

Miraculously managed a commute today. Beautiful sunny day with a light breeze. A pleasure it was.
