Today's Ride

Quick ride today, first of the year. Back at mine now so no more Peak District backdrops :(

Remembering Pat and sunny dry trails.

A grey day today, in so many ways. But the ride actualy took my mind off personal things for a while.

Solar farms seem to be popping up around here a bit, and the energy bills are obviously going up, to pay for them :? :roll:

Wasnt really feeling up for a ride today, so naturally i ventured a bit further :) so glad i made the effort, feel so much better now.

Really great riding trails i used to when i started, been so long and i actually got lost in some woods today, well, you can never get lost around here but for a moment i was unsure where i would come out.

Got wet, got muddy, got lost, an excellent day :D

Sunny and warm today, really nice relaxed ride. Set off with a route in mind but took wrong turning in housing estate and ended up finding a track through the woods that brought me out waaay in the wrong place. Decided to carry on the long way instead of turning back. Good choice, into the sun all the way back to pick up the original trail.

Great ride

Icy cold wind today when i set off, once warmed up though it was a perfect day.

Ended up doing a 2 1/2 hour loop which is good for me at moment, my legs were starting to pack up on the last climb towards home though :)

Only took a few pics near the begining of the ride as i ended up enjoying the riding so much i didnt stop. Riding trails and tracks i havent for over 20yrs, kind of sureal.

Mild day today, easy ride as legs were still feeling yesterday. Rode some trails that again i havent been on for over 20yrs, through some of the woods now known as Sherwood Pines, even though i stay off the made trails and on the natural singletrack.

It was a bit of a slog back along, down and up roads, i think my legs knew we were heading home so started relaxing, a bit too early.

Another nice ride, albiet a bit tiring.

Warm day today.

Had planned on resting today. With all the Kona Kilauea's popping up lately i decided to get mine out to blow the cobwebs off and change levers and grips. It was so warm on the back garden that i decided to go for a quick ride instead :)

Lovely day, if anything too warm on the climbs but perfect on the top just cruising around.

Took it easy, great ride on a beautiful day.

Lovely sunny day again today, with a nice cool breeze. Need to start taking shades and not wearing coat and winter gloves.

Took a ride out to Hardwick Hall today, off road pretty much all the way from mine. Ended up stoping at a few benches for the sun and views.

Sun, roots, more sun and views, great ride.
