Today's Ride

[benjabbi]

Little over 20 mile bimble on the Bonty, bit breezy and overcast but not bad at all really, as usual it's just good to be out and about. Sometimes I struggle to actually get out at the weekend after a week of commuting but I never regret it when I do make the effort.

Lovely day for it today, sun's out, light breeze. Pretty much perfect.

Part red part blue trails at hamsterley today.

Fell off as well bashed my knee open

Some mild muddage

A rare sighting of the lesser-spotted GT Compost...

A little gentle pottering around as my Achilles tendon is still not fully recovered. The strength is back but the flexibility is not. Riding with a CAM boot on is possible as long as there is something on the other foot to even things up. Although the physiotherapist does not recommend it, he does accept it, and I've been riding with the boot on for a few weeks now without mishap or any setback to the recovery—but no more than a couple of miles or fifteen minutes at a time. Anyway, the weather was beautiful this weekend: 22°C, sunny, with a light breeze. And it felt good to be riding, even if it was just a couple of very short rides.

The site of the old Abbot's Mill:




One hundred years ago, the site looked like this—Abbot's Mill is the large, pale, wooden-framed building :


And ninety years ago, on October 17th 1933, it burned down, never to be rebuilt:

Localish to me.

Nice one. Had several months in one in recent years. I used my time off to do some builds & would take them for test rides wearing my boot.

Some cracking weather the past couple of days; we've earnt some this year that's for sure.

Saturday afternoon jaunt on the Hot because of a slight Syncros malfunction on Ryder

A "roasting" 15 degrees, 16 if you squinted hard enough. A glorious ride with the trails in almost perfect condition.

This morning, about as good as it gets. Between 10 and 15 degree, really notable differences, almost zero breeze: SW 2-3 mph. Clear skies with the odd patch of high cloud. It took 22 miles before a vehicle passed me.

Lights on.

Lights off (for the money shot - they went straight back on afterwards!)

This weather is just too good to waste, It's bound to turn for the worse sooner rather than later. Did Saturdays route in reverse and it was glorious!

Hovering in the low 20's in the south west of england. Gotta wait in for a courier but looks set to be nice for some hours yet
