Did a ride in awesome conditions up on the Long Mynd on Saturday (having driven down Friday night to meet up with a great bunch). We were fortunate to be guided by a local with an excellent sense of both adventure and direction – first time I've ridden around there and it really was good fun. 19 miles, 2,000ft of climbing and descent – incl. Minton Batch, which is worthy of every bit of praise it gets.
Didn't really have the opporunity to appreciate all the views as the horizontal stinging rain rather made you keep your head down at times! 😕 What we did see though was fantastic – beautiful scenery and stunning colours.
Today – tinkered with the garage door up this morning whilst it rained, and have just come back from a sneaky bit of singlespeeding as it got dusk, and no rain!
Mustn't grumble – we've got a fabulous little island here, rain or shine. Oh – it's raining again…
