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

Can confirm that’s a good option, have taken both cake and coffee when nowhere suitable is on the map. Find a good tree with a view and lean back against it for a Detectorists type moment of satisfaction.

I've done a similar route with a 39/23 when I was a few decades younger than you, put your feet up you deserve it!
39/23 Ouch, my legs hurt just thinking about it. I need at least 1:1 these days. And you're a year older than me!

Yeah, there's suffering, but that makes the reward that much more sweet. Looks like you found a slice of heaven. Well done sir

I am going to dust down the modern bike and stretch my legs down to Anderson and back tomorrow, I'll probably struggle with my compact 1:1

Lovely area, but not too far away from a knee shattering hill.
Good on you though, hope I can walk when I'm 69 let alone ride that route.
