Re:
Another early morning, pre work, pre breakfast ride today!
Out the door at around 5.40, it was bit fresh, hence the gloves, arm and knee warmers!

Not a soul in sight, just how I like it. Scared a couple of huge buzzards, lovely birds They soon found another breakfast hunting area, once they turned away from the track though.
Then it was just me and some sheep, for several miles. Love seeing the Spring lambs!

Now, along the main, boring track, or along singletrack?

No contest! Not been along that section of main track for years, I go straight into the challenging route!

This has to be my most favourite bit of off road riding ever, love it! And at the end, there is even a bench to sit on. Where you can admire the views over Steyning. This morning, with the carpet of mist slowly burning off! That is it, just below the last horizontal dark line, that is the North Downs, around 30 miles away. Reflect on your amazing bike handling skills, too!

Dropping down to the river Adur, I figured out that if I gave it some, I could get up the long steepish climb, up to Truleigh Hill. So no photo there, sorry!
Just one more on the downhill into work, through the heathland, I suppose it's called.
