The Pyramid grave:
Far more interesting than the Abbey opposite. AKA the Dan Brown church.
Attempting the impossible climb on the E Bike. The stream burst the bank over the winter (again) and turns the track into a rocky, loose ball bearing ride. Failed again!
A little bit of work on the exit from the new trail.
The lovely dry trails are now mucky again but it is so nice to get out for an hour.

Lapping some of the beautiful ancient woodland that HS2 will soon flatten near me in Warwickshire.
**** HS2
Crowthorne woods. Bit splashy, but fun.

Lovely being out under the trees in the dapples light. Sadly one of the old guard gave up clinging onto the hillside last night, never nice seeing a old one go down.
Love trees.
Not a photo, but a video of yesterday's ride, sorry for the quality but I wasnt paying £60 for the software to remove the watermark so just screenshot it which unfortunately means you miss out on the tyre rumble and birdsong of the original.

A couple of local hills with my wife. Gorgeous day apart from the strengthening easterly wind.

22 degree diurnal variation yesterday. -5.5 overnight and a high of 16.5 during the afternoon.
Lap of coniston water. Lovely.

Drove over to West Woods near Marlborough, a place I often go to this time of year, a few on here will know the place, I think. Perfect day, a few people about, unsurprising really, it’s not far from Marlborough and there’s lots of surrounding villages. The bluebells are nowhere near their peak yet, so worth going over again in a couple of weeks, I think.
These Sarcen stones are exactly the right height for sitting on, enjoying a flask of tea and enjoying the silence, apart from the birdsong.
Things are that boring even Baba Yaga’s Hut’s legless!
The little bee was just taking off when I took this.
Nice evening blast. But my Garmin watch screen appears to have died 😑
Found some good street signs yesterday, quick blast through Kent's Bottom was pleasing...... (Didn't get a photo of that sign 🙁 )
Even found some grass up the middle.
Bluebells definitely out in the FoD. This might be their best week
Did like ^^ that photo of Dawn up there.
Bluebells coming on nicely around here; a fine afternoon for a bimble
Ride to work this morning.
The picture's not all that, but you can just see a heron sitting on the canal side at about the middle of the photo.
It was a good ride, I hardly saw anyone and conditions were ideal.
7 bloody miles tonight and all I saw was a tiny wabbit, in someone's garden.
Cute though.

Seen herons multiple times this week, on the canal I ride to get to the trails.
Here's a pic from dog walk though, dog not featured unfortunately...
Snap! (Almost..)

Not a frequent visitor in these parts, so I thought I'd better ride down and get some pics and listen to the wonderful noise as she went off. Who knows what this big bird is?

Still nice to be out though.

Pretty nice out this evening. Warwickshire
There's been so much gravel chat recently, it was time to take the #gradventourer for a spin.

👍
I thought most cyclists were being pretty responsible in the face of this lockdown, but out walking today I spotted this flagrant disregard for social distancing.
Theres no way that's 2 metres!
Should I report them?

Another bimble with Mrsstu.
Saw the worlds bigest sheep. It was a monster.

Summer tyres on my winter bike while my summer bike is out of action and I’m loving it .
My new lock down loop gives me a 2 mile downhill and this is the top of it. If there’s a longer off-road downhill inside the M25 I’d be surprised.
One from yesterday on some local tracks and trails, absolutely loving this weather at the moment.

Cut up to my usual loop via the city centre instead today as it's quieter! Was rather peaceful where I stopped for a short rest. That tree under the bridge is massive btw, so big they can't remove it easily.
Second ride out on my new cross bike
Nice ride to empty(ish) beach, to sit in the sun
G-Ones??
Chesterton Windmill, Warwickshire
Late one tonight for me.

G-Ones?
Yeah. Why do you ask..?
Particularly liking the trees and dogs on this thread.
Here's today's adventure. Since the wee guy upgraded himself from toddlebike to balance bike we're going to bits of our village I've never seen. It's great.
@DezB - No particular reason. I really like the photo and the tyre is the focal point, so was curious.
Cool, thanks 🙂
Yeah, journey is about half n half gravel/road, so the G-ones are ideal. Did get a puncture on the way, but only reason I knew about it was I got sprayed with jizz up the back of my leg! Made it the rest of the way without pumping the tyre. 🙂
I've got WTB Riddlers on my Camino (not tubeless) they're nice but puncture easily.
Thankfully they're getting quite worn now so I have an excuse to buy new tyres
Have got to a stage now, where I just replace G-Ones with G-Ones. They're not cheap (in TR version) so usually snap them up off ebay or in sales
A lovely jaunt out to the Singing Ringing Tree near Burnley this morning. Having not ridden a road bike for years, I am absolutely loving these empty roads. After I took this shot I did the descent from up here for about 5 miles down into Waterfoot and I wasn't passed by a single car. mental!

Gentle spin out on a running rest day to get the legs moving. River towpath was expectedly busy for a friday afternoon at 20 degrees.
Came back a different way, set 2 PB's on a couple of climbs, one of which I've not been able to better for aaaaaages, and by 6 seconds on a 1:20 climb... 😀
43km In glorious weather and a few kilometres along the Fife Coastal Path to Elie, didn't pass anyone!
Back,back,back on Fat.
