Today's Ride

Go to hear from you and that you're on the mend. Small steps buddy.

Not the same without your regular posts. Missing the Tamarancho trails etc and regular weather reports and 'Last of the Summer Wine' type exploits of the original crew.

Google it :)
 
:) glad your getting better Pat.

Here are a few pics for you from todays little ride around Matlock over looking Riber Castle, which is actually a house built by a wealthy person to look like a castle, along some nice but too short singletrack :)

Very warm today, but im on a mission to get out more, and got to make the most of the dry fast rolling trails.

Similar route to the other day, with a couple of added woodland trails and climbs, what goes up must come down, and a couple of stops along the way, great ride, glad i made the effort :D

... a couple more from the ride today.

A stop by the upper pond with a rope swing. A good use for an old stem/bar combo :LOL:

Then another rest out of the sun in an old mill, were the old bikes dont get put to other uses :)

Like a true englishman, out again today in the midday sun :LOL: remembered my camera this time also, but lots of the best sections were down hill or really flowing so made the most of the speed breeze instead of stoping for sweaty pics :cool:

Nice ride today, lots of the woods trails are overgrown now though and really warm, its like a jungle in there :LOL: did find another rope swing though :cool:

Nice pics... funnily enough your earlier photos inspired me to get out today myself - didn't stop at all to take pics but it was really good to be out on the bike again, even if I did nearly melt coming home! Nothing beats the scents of elderflower, honeysuckle and roses from the hedges at this time of year...
