First ride today since September!
I've had an infected cyst under the skin of my barse since the back end of summer and it's taken three loads of antibiotics and a lot of faff to get it sorted. So today a bimble around the lanes and bridleways, maybe 25 miles, lunch at Brodsworth Hall. Back along the river via the posh pub for a pint and plans to build the mileage back up, legs a little heavier than they should be for a couple of hours. Might have been a good idea to change the tyres from touring slicks for the ploughed fields and leafy woods, but it's all a laugh so long as you can keep it upright and moving forward. I'll clean it tomorrow, maybe.
Had another cracking ride in the Peak. As much as I long for dry warm summer days, some of the views in winter are stunning.
