Today's Ride

Out of the habit so I keep forgetting to post these. Yesterday. There and back again. 18 miles...again

This is part of the boundary wall on the River Don for Sprotbrough Hall - demolished in the 1920's. Note the 'V' made of bricks. This was done by a couple of guys rebuilding the wall a few days after Churchill's V for Victory speech, and, though very faint, a date of 24 7 41 can just be made out. It used to be possible to see their initials, but sadly they are long gone. The bricks used to be painted white. 20250801_094716.webp
 
Just a quick shopping trip into the Saturday market for some fruit and veg.

I had a choice to make, it was between two Konas...both aluminium frames, both drop bar bikes...what could they be?

It's the Kula vs the JTS.

Easton tubes

or Kona Racelight 7005

The Blue won out over the Green, mainly because I hadn't tried the Kula out yet.

When I got back my curiosity got the better of me and I weighed them both. Any guesses which was the lightest?
Answers in my next post.

Today we tried to escape the rain and went to Italy... IMG_20250802_094745.webp IMG_20250802_122751.webp
It didn't look better there either. But the Trails are fantastic and so is the food. IMG_20250802_124348.webp IMG_20250802_124343.webp
Tomorrow we should get better weather. I hope that's true. IMG_20250802_175056.webp
