You must join us one day. I’m sure it won’t be the last outing.

Summer's brief reprise.

Stepped back into August this morning, to begin what would become a warm sunny day.

13°c, watching the sun rise over the horizon at Kilnhurst.

The ride home just as good, and much warmer than yesterday. 20°c.
It's surprising what the right angle can conceal - a large factory about 20ft to the right.
Cut-through to the canal near Mexborough Station.

Very warm today, couldn't stay in the house all day as getting bored so went for a quick ride.

Beautiful and very peaceful.

A long time ago my late friend Pat Reddix started this venerable thread. When the now deceased magazine Privateer came to Northern California, I was not available to guide them, and for better or worse, I turned them over to Pat. I found the article today while working on the Mountain Bike Legacy Project and I scanned it into a .pdf. that is now on my website.

There is a group of old guys like myself who meet daily at the same place and time. No fixed list, just whoever shows up. Yesterday no one else did, so I rode alone. That meant I took a harder ride than their usual, and ended up poised on top of "Heart Attack Hill," ready to ride back to town. I turned on the GoPro and got an amazing downhill run off the mountain and even through town.

Thank you for sharing Charlie. I wish I could join you for a ride like that. Awesome stuff.
