Posted 3 years agoEarly ride in Wharncliffe for us.
Posted 3 years agoPosted 3 years agoTook the summer beast…
[url=https://flic.kr/p/2j5xj5K]20200525_122231[/url]…out for my sprint session today.
[url=https://flic.kr/p/2j5xj2i]20200525_114309[/url]6 x up that 6% at max watts then 20k home. Was very beautiful and still with the whirring of the 50’s, except going through Epping Forest cap park which was jammed with shouty people and cars.
Posted 3 years agoBlissful.
Posted 3 years agoPosted 3 years agoWell 1 a day isn’t needed anymore so I went for a second. Took a cold tinnie, a camera and a 100-400 lens to shoot some of the birds I’ve seen on my regular stops on the route home round the fields behind the house.
The last few days: loads of birds, several pairs of Red Kites especially including several low altitude low speed cruises up the field edge no more than 15ft from me.
Today: Nothing.Have a bee and some daisies.
Posted 3 years agoPosted 3 years agoDales was mentally busy today, so I went high and cheeky to try to lose the crowds.
[url=https://flic.kr/p/2j5CM4F]IMG_20200525_144332-2[/url] Posted 3 years agoMore #beerienteering today. 64km which pretty much killed me. It just feels like I’ve lost loads of fitness, likely the after-effects of CV19. Still, a lovely, if slightly breezy, day so no hurry.
Loads of insects around now

[url=https://flic.kr/p/2j5CxkT]P1060523[/url] by Colin Cadden, on FlickrLooked hawk-like, but too big. Too “fine” in features to be a buzzard or eagle. Then I saw it heading to its nest.

Posted 3 years agoManaged to find some new (to me) gravel routes this morning
<img src=”http://Posted 3 years ago@eddybaby – absolutely!
@scotroutes – well done with the Osprey! I have actually seen one, with a fish, a large chub it had caught; it flew close enough to be able to identify the fish from the size and colour as it went past the bridge I was standing on, then it perched on top of a utility pole munching on the fish. Sadly not close enough to get a decent photo with my phone. I was on a bridge carrying Sustrans Route 4 from Chippenham to Calne, couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing.From my wander out to the post office and bird food shopping this afternoon…
These are just coming into flower, on a grass verge opposite where I used to work on a large industrial estate in Chippenham. I don’t know anywhere else where they grow, and there’s a lot of them there at the moment. Beautiful things.
Posted 3 years agoPosted 3 years agoPosted 3 years agoCould have just ridden up the bedrock riverbed in Littondale today. Not a drop in it.

We were the only ones out riding and only passed a couple of walkersPosted 3 years agoThese are just coming into flower, on a grass verge opposite where I used to work on a large industrial estate in Chippenham.

Bee Orchids. I thought they were mainly in the South East, guess they’re slowly moving West?
Cloudier today, but still bone dry and hot. Too dry really, some of the trails are like corrugated concrete.
Posted 3 years agoMostly flat XC and quiet lanes with a few steps & drops between the chalk cliffs. 3 secs over the existing 1:45 kom through a pea field. Gonna get that this lockdown.
Posted 3 years agoMagical evening ride – dust, sun and the call of golden plover.
Bloody lucky to have this on our doorstep.
Posted 3 years ago@ready That’s one of the directions I head for extra hills from Eastern Ipswich.
Anyhoo today’s jaunt was out to Woodbridge, Easton and Debenham before heading home. This is the first pic of the series, there’s a large panorama out Kenton way that should stay on Flickr as it’s 15MB on it’s own.
Woodbridge by Mike Hams, on FlickrPosted 3 years agoThis bugger snuck up on me while i was walking in the fields behind the house.
