rBoTM RBotM July 2021 - Theme - Summer Rides

[Jamiedyer]

Welcome to July RBotM and the theme is 'summer rides' and due to lateness this one is a quick fire round, so get those entries in quick
The theme as it says on the tin is about summer rides as we in the northern hemisphere are into summer now, and here in the north of Scotland, summer is usually the best two days of the year
So rules are simple, one photo, with a bike or link to a bike trip etc, a brief explanation of why you like this photo and it's tie to summer. Can link to others or a trip review etc, not a problem.

Usual rules in that it will be open until the last day of the month and then a five day poll will decide the winner.

1987 Marlboro Claud Butler Majestic 2 tandem FINISHED pg13

It's on my least retro bike (2008 Cervelo Soloist!) but heyho, my best summer ride this year.

Last weekend on top of the Chilterns, looking back over the plains of Oxfordshire toward Thame as the sun set.

More weather like this please, less of the biblical rainstorms!

My brother taking a photo of me while I take a photo of him on the Massachusetts Central Rail Trail; specifically in the cut-out gorge for the old train tracks near Rutland. I am on an 80s L.L. Bean mtb (rebranded Cannondale) which I had already cropped out the photo; bro is on a Trek 720 Multitrack. Sorry, for the lack of bike(s) detail; photo not intended to show it when taken.

Taking a Look at the beach.

One of the great things about living at the seaside is the summer mornings before the beaches fill up. Ironically it wasn't that nice a morning when I took this one but hey ho this isn't the Med you know.

Summer came to Scotland last weekend and we managed a ride to the beach but it wasn't retro so can't be entered.
We couldn't take the retro as we needed the cargo bike
Seriously, good to see some people remembered their camera when out in all this lovely summer weather. Thanks all.
