Cut Gate Path.Strong wind right in your face all the way from Fairholmes to America Woods, then it dies right down when you turn around to come back. :(

It’s been a pleasure riding with you these last couple of days Rob,enjoy the rest of your holiday, and I’ll mail you the pics tomorrow.

I’ll be adjusting his brakes tomorrow when he’s not looking, far too quick on the ups, a bit of brake drag needed methinks . The Slab at Dalbeatie beckons tomorrow. Photos will be taken!

If you are anywhere close to South Cheshire, a firm called Go Green do it.
We’ve used them twice to go to Verbier, very good pricing and excellent customer service.
They are based on Nantwich Road in Crewe.
HTH.

The little white blob behind the hedge, directly above my pedal is a male Shelduck.

Suitably zoomed in.

On yesterdays ride.

From the Sandbach Festival of Transport.

Extra points for Niche black sheep and lamb? :lol:

6 of us finish at 12 , we’ll be at Delamere for 1 o clock. Dusty Trails !

According to my shonky bathroom scales, this weighs about 23lb.

Two of us will be at Newcastleton on Good Friday morning, then driving to ! Farmhouse b&b near Dunscore.Then we’ll be picking from Mabie, Dalbeatie, K/tree, and Drumlanrig for Saturday , Sunday and Monday. Email in profile if this helps.

As churches go, Christ Church, Crewe is by no means old. It was built by the Grand Junction Railway Company, together with housing for its employees during the birth of Crewe Town as we know it today. It was consecrated on 18th December 1845 by the Rt. Revd. John Sumner, Bishop of Chester. It was extended in 1864 by addition of aisles (which had galleries erected inside but which were short-lived), by the tower in 1877, by the chancel in 1898 and by the chapel in 1906. During the ministry of Walter Bidlake (1903-1924) the old peal of eight bells was recast and expanded to a peal of ten. The grave yard was limited in size and gradually the Town cemetery came into use allowing the graveyard to be closed to further burials. In the early 1970’s, wood rot was discovered in the nave roof and the church was partially demolished in 1977. As much as practicable was re-used and many of the original fittings were retained. Some were re-used by other churches, such as the majority of the pews ending up at Holy Trinity, Llandudno and the old high altar going to St. Barnabas, in West St., Crewe.
If it’s Spring for next week, how about an upcoming one for Steam Engines(not necessarily trains), or Battlefields / present day sites of old Battlefields.

A couple of times,and within 100yds of the same place both times.Not long after going through the first gate, on the old broken road, climbing out of Castleton. :roll:

Even though we do it once a week at least all year round,it has to be Delamere, from the old Hospital down to the clearing.

I test run W12 engines on a Dyno before they are fitted into Bentley GTC’S and Supersports. 8O

Friday morning Pie run into Northwich.
How about Race-Tracks for next week ?

2009 Rosa de la Cruz , from M & S . Very moreish. It’s going to make the climb up The Roman Road hard work tomorrow ! :P

Yep, that’s me. Like you say, especially when you put more effort in , ie only on the way home from work, or out to play on a weekend .

Add some lemon zest and 2 tbsp of honey to the above-mentioned. FTW.
Then while it’s cooking buy this !

Sorry for the shonky pic, but I was dodging traffic! Sandabach Literary Institute.

The Literary Institute was built in 1857 by Samuel Faram at a cost of £2500 of which £2100 was liberally contributed by the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. Sir George Gilbert Scott was the architect. It contained a library, corn exchange and meeting room, with an upper floor ballroom, and Mr Ramsay Macdonald once addressed a public meeting here. The building is of brick with stone dressings, constructed in the Gothic style. The building still has the original steps, doors and windows. It is in a somewhat neglected state internally, but funds have recently been made available to rectify this.

Another vote for Victorian engineering. My Target for this would also have fitted in with last weeks.

That’s exactly what happened to me,only with TSB’s Clicksafe system. To be fair , my money was paid back within 3 hours of contacting their fraud dept.

I’ve got 2 pairs done Ghetto style, with a compressor , been using them about 15 months now, no problems at all.

http://www.pearcecycles.co.uk/product/430.
I find these very comfortable.

I’ve used mine on 4 pairs of Ghetto Tubeless wheels with no problem,also handy with the blow gun for drying off chains prior to lubing.

Taken at the new Aquaduct Marina, Church Minshull.Nice cafe BTW.

Specialized 2.3 Enduro Pro, on mine when I had one,run Ghetto tubeless,riding in the same areas with no problems.

Would that be America Woods way, or over by the airfield and up to the woods ? Love the area, could quite happily re-locate to IOW tomorrow.

I hate to say this but I win.
Spent the voucher and more on Sunday,payed with Debit card, and on Thursday. . . £1,305.95 gone out of my account to John lewis.
And no, it wasn’t me! :oops:Now in the process of getting my funds back off TSB.

I’ve stayed at Lower Hyde, Shanklin four or five times. Very nicely placed for getting out on the bike, supermarkets are close, and about 10 mins walk from the beach.

And me! 4 of us started off at Ae on Friday, then Kirroughtree on Saturday and finished off at Dalbeatie today.
Cracking week-end. To be repeated Easter week-end, with Drumlanrig, Mabie, Kirroughtree then two more to make our minds up on when we get there. :D

@ John Rowlands.
Also about 2 miles from where I live!Towards Maw Green/ Duck pond area. :-)

I hope it holds out until Saturday then ! :D

I might be in with a chance of first post if the subject was Luxury car makers ! :P

Doh, ok :(
Thats an impressive bridge in the background ( behind your track :-))Mine was taken at the Crewe Heritage Centre, just a minor detour on the way home.
I’ll try harder next time!

:-)I win first proper post ! :-)

My sense of self-preservation kicks in way too early to even let me consider anything like that :oops: No Bristol Trails in this one.

Here you go.

Dark skies and rain again in South Cheshire. Have a good ride everyone that’s venturing forth I :P
