Today's Ride

Re:

Another chilly start but once again with the blood pumping and the sun, it soon warmed up. Proper, proper ace out there :D

This hills in the far distance are the first bits of the Kentish downs. After that ridge are the downs proper.

Been a scorcher here all day. Tee shirt weather on the bike late this afternoon.

Lovely day today, cool air but the sun was very warm, great for riding then stopping to soak up the rays 8)

Headed out to somewhere i havent been for a while, unsure wether it would be busy, which it was, but managed to stay to hidden off the beaten track type trails.

Great fast ride.

Stay safe people, the world is about to get a whole lot worse... if you want to know whats planned, or indeed already been planned, google event 201.

Re:

I sound like a stuck record, but the morning rides are absolutely spot on at the moment. I pinch myself when it's this good.

The left, that ridge-line has one of my favourite sections. All are short around here (have I mentioned it's in suburbia?), but it has enough technical pieces to throw anyone off.
 
What a great day, cool wind so perfect for riding.

Despite Hardwick being shut to the public there were quite a few people out and around the estate. Mainly around the lakes so not to much of an issue for me as i was just passing through. The ride is one ive done a lot of times but not many of them seem as nice as today, with the sun out and the flowers coming out it just makes the whole place more beautiful 8)
