^^^ lovely! I'm planning on heading out on a similar route tomorrow, hopefully the weather will hold!

Given the lack of Alps in these parts, Mamhead is one of the better alternatives round here, and it makes a change for me to head west. And though I'm not a great fan of bike paths, the Exe Estuary Trail is a fabulous addition to Devon cycle infrastructure.

Maybe it's just my legs, but feels like there're plenty of Devon Alps around when I go out riding! Riding up onto Dartmoor from Bovey Tracey is a good old climb if you're looking for a challenge (up to Hay Tor and on to Moretonhampstead).

Different sort of climbing - Devon tends to do shortish and punchy, which is fun, but I think I prefer Alpine-type climbs of 45-minutes+ on steady gradients. Yes, Haytor is a challenge, I'll grant you.

Little run out tonight up to Bradwell Waterside , rude not to take a few pics of the lovely evening sunshine & a recent contestant from the local scarecrow festival lol !

Nothing extraordinary, but just nice to see spring in the air ... near Milverton in Somerset, while doing a 99.9-mile ride. Yes, really.

Surely you'd ride to the bottom of the garden and back again wouldn't you?!

Spring arrived in Staffordshire, this weekend -

Thankfully summer followed just an hour or so later....bizarre times!

I'd have had to do it about 150 times... it's just a patio. And I quite liked leaving the ride short, bizzarely.

Cherry blossom full length of Swinley Road, shame about the cars.

Trying not to lock the cat in the shed with my bikes again

@briantrumpet here's my snap from Mamhead yesterday - never actually done that climb before but it's a nice one, will definitely be going up there again.

Stopped off at the Anchor in Cockwood for a quick drink and a chat with some holidayers. Everyone was very friendly and cheerful in the beer garden, must have been the lovely weather

Finally here's one from this evening before a quick blast around Plymbridge wood's mountain bike trails. I think the giant beetle is probably equally graceful on the bike as I am on the way down the red descent

A Google Streetview car in Leeds - watching me watching it.
