Burton Dassett mountains. Warwickshire.
@tenfoot I've got about 5 photos at that spot, know it well! I'll keep any eye out for a black orange when I'm riding or running!
Today's government sanctioned exercise:
@tallpaul - Barming Woods. Were there many about? (Edit - just read your IG text)
I’m waiting for it to get dark before I take the dog out this evening . Allington is crawling with people on their way down to the river.
Yeah I avoided the towpath and river on purpose, when I crossed the gravel path north of the woods I looked the opposite way to the way I was going and it looked like a sea of people walking down it..
No photo unfortunately, but lovely to see the wild deer in the sunshine around the wrigleys factory today.
Saw some last wekend too...
Think I need to learn how to do pictures now 🙁
Cracking ride today from the house into the nearby woods. A few people out and about, carefully keeping their distance.

Another local spin with the Followme Tandem
This is the time to go out, just before sunset. Barely a soul out there - it was a little eerie actually. I could hear the clack-clack of a train that was over a kilometre away, just caught sight of it before it disappeared behind the trees.
We had a snow storm above 400m last weekend, finally melting but still buggery cold up high early doors. Social distancing in effect, Jeff's a lot faster than me on the way up, but we change places on the way down 🙂
Beautiful day today, me and the boy got up to the Downs on our hardtails.
A mental health necessity for me. He seemed to enjoy it too and had a bit of banter with some lambs

Well up for some spring time.
Can’t remember last ‘proper’ ride I actually had.
Nice to be out.
Forgot how hard even short climbs can be fixed though!

I used to ride a fixed gear around Bristol.
You were always the first to the top of the climbs, but you needed that extra time for puking in the bushes.

An hour on the cross bike last night.
My fave garden gnome in my village. Makes me feel like a winner,
The other way I'm entertaining myself in lock down. Doing a plank/wall sit challenge with my best mate seeing who can last the longest after a month. I'm winning on the wall sit so far after a 2:31 plank today.
First day in shorts and short sleeves for me today. Plenty out and about all billy-no-mates though (except for the grey-heads in Kirton though they looked like they had just met at the junction and were maintaining a safe spacing).

Just after I took the last one a lovely burgundy metallic McClaren soft-top came through (MC12 I think) making a nice burbly sound and he didn't go mad out of the village either.

This maybe the closest I get to visiting Santa Pod this year. I was supposed to be going to Big Bang in May for some VW drag racing but we might still be on lock down
You were always the first to the top of the climbs, but you needed that extra time for puking in the bushes.
I love it really I am just so out of shape right now though.
Start commuting again on it next week though so start to get it back.
Quiet on my local loop as always
