What a lovely day to take my freshly upgraded (11spd, hydraulic brakes) cross bike out for a spin around Rivington.

Bloody hell! Ace pic though 🙂

So busy up rivi today. Is it always like that on a Sunday afternoon?

I usually go in the week or about tea time.

Always busy on a Sunday, would normally avoid but weather was lovely and I had some new bits on my bike to try. Was quiet over Winter Hill.
