I've a scratch on my shin this morning - Becasue yesterday I rode in shorts and a short sleeved tee-shirt! Rode an old route in the Chilts with some mates, and it was dry and sunny and warm and not even that muddy. We even had a beer in the garden afterwards. Miracles will never cease. Looking out the window this morning though, and it's blowing a hooli and pissing down, so I guess that was it for the time being.

Second time in shorts this year, first time in both tee shirt and shorts. How depressing is that?

OK, I've put new knobbly tyres on the bike after waiting too long for drier conditions to be able to eke out another few months of service, bought some riding trousers, warmer gloves and a rain jacket.

If that doesn't cause a hosepipe ban I don't know what will.

(Sorry no pics of a soggy Gisburn ride)

But today’s was my favourite – only 15km, but out with my 10 year old daughter and my 82 year old dad 😁

Brilliant.

I'm sure the Instagram embed function is still borked, so I'll have to ask you to click to see my pics from Grizedale yesterday - sorry.

Monday off is still the weekend sort of.

Rode from Whitby along the Cinder Track to Ravenscar and then followed the Moor 2 Sea route to Pickering and train back.

Was very windy on the exposed bits but only got caught in one rain shower.

Also saw my first swallow of summer despite the car showing 3 degrees when driving over the mmor to Whitby at 9am.
