I'm on a trip to North Wales at the moment and today I rode at Gwydir.

Here's the same scene from 16th April 2018. I see I'm still sitting on the same saddle.

Big, long human powered ride today. Surprised myself but not dying on my arse within 30 minutes.

Still got accused of being on an e-bike while overtaking someone. I couldn't respond because I was blowing too much.

First evening ride - setting off at 8pm -  where I didn’t need the lights. Lovely night for it! IMG_7081.jpeg IMG_7085.jpeg IMG_7080.jpeg

And home again ... 17km of dry, dusty Singletrack and beautiful vibrant woodland!

Lovely afternoon ride down to Feshiebridge and back. 

Still a smattering of snow on the mountains too.

One of those days when the lochs are as blue as the sky!

@fruitbat - I'd though of heading over to Granish Moor to check out the fire damage but went south instead, otherwise I might have bumped into you.

@scotroutes

The fire damage is quite extensive. Me and Mrs Fruitbat guessed it was quite recent as the burnt smell was still in the air.

1st solo ride probably this year! On the tail end of a nasty flu/virus and a dodgy back. Just rode the gravel fire road at my local woods. Bumped into some riding mates too, and had some good chats.

The weather was perfect, sunny and a slight chill in the air, and a good audiobook playing in one ear. Love it.

I managed to get out early yesterday and do a bit of an annual early-spring pilgrimage from Durham to Bolt's Law and back.

Looking SW from the trig point on Bolt's Law towards Cross Fell:

Looking North over Hexhamshire Common:

 Conditions under-wheel were generally good, but the easterly breeze had a bit of a cold edge to it!
