Did a little bit of exploring in the areas next to my now normal loop. Discovered an old railway line I had no idea about and a small section of canal too. Will come in handy for making a loop work in the opposite direction to what I normally do.
Golden hour, Weets Top, South Dales.

@thelawman - its worth reporting to the local council. I've been taking photos when I see it and reporting them on the Calderdale Council portal. Hopefully they'll be something in there to link it back to the numpties doing it.

@donald Yikes! Don't often see those guys, just the holes they make when they bite my tyres.

Rode my new bike. Did I mention I had a new bike? Anyway, here it is with a tree.
@ElShalimo - yep, I'd intended to do exactly that, and then promptly forgot. Job for Sunday. I did have a look at a couple of the cardboard boxes to see if there were any address labels; no joy. At least I cleared the bed parts off the road so as to allow room for traffic to pass, not that there's much on the lane in question.
Sat in the park this afternoon after the council reopened it. Really glad, it’s a lovely spot to have a sit down partway round my Saturday afternoon wander into town to do some light shopping.
Attack of the alien tree beast...
A few from my birthday ride today.
couldn't carry any beers so stuck to the shots instead. 😉.

First time we have seen quite a few out including the picnic blankets and disposable barbecues on the river bank.

Been waiting 6 weeks to post here. Spain finally let accompanied kids out for 1h a day, 1km radius from home. The boy hasn't left the house since 15th March. Adults and kids over 14 will likely be let out from next weekend.
Downhill all the way to the pub once at the top of that little rise...
Glorious day.
Out on some of the gravel that doesn't exist in the UK

The M25 on a sunny Sunday morning.
I might use this as a traffic free route next time.

It was ace fun chasing these two around - it was like RoadRunner with a dust cloud following us all at golden hour... I'm so proud of the youngest one - he's suddenly found real climbing power, an ability to judge well what he's capable of and ride with real confidence. 😎
Anyone got a small, curved bit of cast iron hanging about?

The empty M25 reminds me of the M32 cycling club. All you had to do was cycle from the St Paul's roundabout up to the M4 and back. Some of the members went on to found a major cycle campaigning group - possibly.
A few from the week:
Fly tipping. Reported and removed.
Bike and Bluebells.
A big thanks to the trail pixies. A small kicker to a berm. Amazing that this is only 600 metres from my front door. So well hidden that I never spotted before. If you were responsible I'll get you Beer after this is all over (assuming you are over 18). Nice one.
Exit from the new found trail. Even though I'm awesome* I walked it. Seriously steep and off camber.
* Not true!
Fly tipping. Reported and removed.
that's minging. But couldn't help but notice there's a couple of 80s pepsi cans in there. Haven't seen those ringpulls for years.
Sorry, as you were.
Love the adder photo, never seen one in the wild.
Went over to Avebury this afternoon for a little stroll away from the village, along a byway up to the Ridgeway, back along the Ridgeway to the Herepath and back down to the car. The stones have been closed off, and according to a lady I met while walking up towards the Ridgeway, they’ve been hit pretty hard by C19, she said she’s buried three from the village so far, I guess she’s a rector, I didn’t ask, but she said people have been sticking up posters saying C19 is a hoax and doesn’t exist! I mean, W the actual F?
Anyway, it was a perfect afternoon, not many people about, and nice and quiet, skylarks singing ‘n’all!
The Chalk.
I love chalklands.
Another coastal shot but I am surrounded by water with roads/paths/trails everywhere so that’s why. And whilst out round the deserted coastline tday we surprised a pair of coppers having a picnic (bag of crisps/can of coke actually) besides their car whilst parked up at carrick shore (Galloway) so me n’ mum stopped further along as well for our fruit break.
Edit : forgot you can’t publish Flickr pics using iPhone, its a nice pic....trust me
Got bored of all the tame singletrack so broke out my big bike and went for the Tree Root Of Doooom huck to flat.
I'm still ****ing buzzing now. 😉

Steady on there @singlespeedstu. It's a pandemic not a holiday.
Hope you scoped your landing properly before the send.
I know it was pretty stupid and irresponsible of me to take such a huge risk but i had my crew check the line for me before hand so minimalized the risks as much as possible.
Making the most of the last of the perfect weather.

Giving the Fatty an airing. It’s brilliant in the loose surfaces and dried up hoof prints.
Fat bikes. I remember when they were a thing....
