and 3 uplifts.
If that's the uplift vehicle, I imagine it's quicker to ride up!
It’s an old Land Rover, so not much in it!
The uplift takes about 8 minutes, I normally pedal it in 11-14 minutes.
The new version of Devils Dyke is bedding in nicely.
A week in from first neg test. Went for a gentle pedal, lovely but COVID and a week of nothing mean I have nothing in my lungs.

A 20km bimble from the doorstep, sunny but very windy. Some exploring here and there but best of all was finding that one long section was far, far better done in the reverse direction to that previously taken!

Currently having breakfast after a bivvy trip, but here's the first sunrise of the Spring.

More photos later.
One of those 'Right to Roam' rides yesterday - 1:25k had none of the useful dotted lines but the Satellite View showed feint marks that turned out to be sheep tracks and a quad tyres so the loop was completed.
I promised some more photos...

I was on uplift duty, he was doing the proper riding.
Ridden last 7 out of 8 days. Fantastic conditions, enjoying them while they last. Coaching today with Katy Curd in the FoD. 3rd time in the last two years. She's a great teacher and we had prime conditions.
Average technique. World class gurning 🙂
Maybe this time I'll remember to actually practice, rather than just default to my old (and frankly a bit rubbish technique). For those of us of a certain age, it's not learning the best way to ride modern geo, it's unlearning the exact opposite approach we took riding steep, short bikes in the 90s!
A superb ride in the sunshine today - did the STW classic ride 137, a variation on my usual riding - absolute indulgent perfection of a ride!
I didn’t half pick a cracking week to be off work!
Totally rubbish pics, but I don't care as it signalled my first ride in the past couple of years - 18 miles, nothing techy and yes, it was an e-bike, but that was needed for the time constraints
