with a gorgeous day like today I had to get out (in spite of a stinking cold). Lovely trails in the suburbs of Sheffield. Trundling along a wide, flat path, we overtook a walker and called out a cheery hello and happy new year. He waited 'til we were 10yds past before the inevitable 'i don't think you're meant to be riding in here was yelled.'
We waited at the next bridleway sign for a chat, and funnily enough he chose to turn round and go back.
Later on though, we were riding cheeky trails and fully expecting a telling off - but every single person we met was lovely. One particular couple got us into a debate about how silly bikes not being allowed on paths is too!
Cracking ride, and a great opener for 2012.
Lots of happy walkers (all saying thanks for my bell-usage!) and horseriders.
