Today's Ride

Offspring was wearing his vintage England shirt (given to him by a neighbour) when we hit the courts this morning..

..with all of David Beckham's magnificent work marketing alcohol to children you'd think the Royal family would thank him somehow?.. :rolleyes:

Don't get me started on that other wanker Peter Crouch! :mad:

..i went down a hill, not really knowing where i was or where i was going.. and like all hills in Sheffield, the more fun they are to ride down the more painfull they are to ride back up.. I popped out at Strawberry Lee Lane, asked a runner for directions.. then headed back up the hill through Blackamore

Great pics, thanks for sharing, I miss living in Crookes sometimes - for the above opportunity to get out in the peak district, however I dont miss grinding up the gradients to get back to Slinn Street after a full day out!

Lovely riding around your way :)
 
Slight chill in the air to start before turning much milder half way. 13 degrees, solid grey cloud but breaking much earlier than forecast (it's blue skies and golden sunshine now). A whisper of a WNW breeze at 3-4mph. Pretty much ideal conditions. Very quiet out, almost off-season quiet 👍

Not managed to get out for the last couple of weeks so did a short one today while I had the chance. Took it nice and easy as usual, found it easy going even with starting on climbs :) Also stopping quite a few times for pictures was a welcome break.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That huge dent in the earth behind the gate is an old cock fighting pit (might not be what some of you are thinking), lots of old coins have been found there. Even poor folk dropped money
