Today's Ride

[fennec]

Actually yesterdays ride, one of the last days before it drops below freezing regularly, it was 60°F and breezy, sunny earlier, and took some detours on the work commute





The third pic is getting down to that waterfront which was a fun one, but isn’t an interesting pic so it will not be embedded into the post.
It’s all marsh, the terrain is like sponge and there’s these horrifying holes full of water everywhere that I can’t tell the depth of , not riding on that again.

That last pic that’s a ride spoiler right there! Depending on how far out you are, the potential for wet, cold feet for the rest of the ride.

I took the long way to work again today and it was worth it. I even spotted the first hint of snow.
However, leaves on the trails are a real challenge if you can't see where roots or stones are lurking.

I even had the chance to jump some stumps.

That bike looks fantastic, simple, purposeful and classy.
unlike the ho's boudoir I usually end up with, sorry create!

Thanks. The credit goes to the designers at Specialized, I haven't changed anything, just updated a few things.

Had to stop stopping for photos in the end. Rutland seems to have a lot of stuff that’s pretty. Lovely crisp morning, ride took a short dive when a field I thought had a hard packed track had been ploughed. Left most of that at the jet wash at the petrol station on the way back, best £2 I’ve spent today!
The cement works is a bit of a blot on the landscape but provides a stunning route through and around the top of the limestone quarry. Didn’t photo that today as have done it before.

Only 10 miles. Frost, ice, hail, frostbite in toes!
Canal frozen, but banoffee cheesecake good.

And do you know what.
I am freezing and trying to warm up in bed, obvious enough. Then SWMBO comes into the bedroom and says, while you are in there my bikes out in the rain!
Ssseeessshhhh! It is awkward getting 3 bikes in our shed, but then if it's more complicated than a spoon my other half is usually flummoxed!

Nuff said. We all know how this turns out. You back to bed yet, or did she find more for you to do?

No not back to bed.
Put her bike away, dried it first!
Then put music on that she doesn't really like.
