Yesterday evening, after a solid grey day, with thick mist (almost fog on top of the moor, visibility down to 20'ish metres), the clouds slowly began to break. Mild, very damp.

This morning, mild 12 degrees. Very damp, 12mph SW breeze. Clear skies but a lot of moisture in the air hence the camera couldn't capture the sharpness of the moon as it set.

Pretty neat watching it drop below Sancreed Beacon...whilst some cars reversed back up the road

Lovely day here with strong sunshine and very little wind. Took off on the old warhorse to retrace some of the routes I've been avoiding since last year's crash.

While no Strava records were broken, I was quite pleased that despite recent on-again off-again riding, I was still able to handle the few climbs and undulations. And it was good to get some time on the gravel roads again, overcoming some of the jitters associated with that particular surface.

Coming back, I stopped at some roadworks for the punningest photo I've yet managed.

30km, 272m elevation. Rather chuffed to be back on the local roads.

Bit different today. Got to ride the Grubb on one of the test tracks at work. 4km a laps, on perfect tarmac.

Do we need a “Bikes and Banking” or “Bikes and Test Tracks” thread?

Bikes and Banking?

This is how to park your bike at the entrance...

Good lord, my first "mountain bike". Bringing back some extremely sketchy moments

Also my first MTB (not this one)what a pain to race on. Got a Stump Jumper and so much better

Kudos for even thinking of racing on one...let alone actually racing on one!

Cooler 12 degrees, 10-15mph SW breeze, clearer skies, a little drier but pretty soggy in sheltered spots. Absolutely spectacular moon guiding me back west and home
