Today's Ride

[BerthaPog]

Technically yesterdays ride, and not actually pictures of the ride itself, but the difference smug guards can make.

Though deep(*) puddles did help clean the T130 a bit. Deep = comfortably above hub level.

As someone who is an absolute non-roadie, but a little curious about why the hell people buy a gravel bike, I'm giving this entry level cyclocross bike a go for a bit. Initial thoughts are it feels weird, the cockpit positions are entirely unnatural, but speed and easy climbing are pleasant enough. Did my usual short loop to get a breather between work meetings.

Earliest I've ever gotten out on the trails. Just a short scoot around the neighborhood trails on Monolith
Because the aquatic vegetation hasn't sprouted yet, I was able to find an old mossy beaver lodge. I wonder if it's still in use

Stuck the big wellies and the skinny fork on the bike for some sunnywindy mud grinding...be careful out there though, still a wee bit nipple-y!

..back on track



..up to the pole

..Stanage Pole

..down t'other side to the reservoirs at redmires



..overflow




..if i was to ride the loop home from here, t'would be just boring road, through Lodge Moor, so i went back up to Stanage



..around the ridge



..stopped for a rest, well it is Easter Sunday



..and back home


..then the cranky old phone ran out of battery
