Good morning. It's a beautiful day here in paradise. The nearest lockdown to us is Blackburn. I'm not surprised as even in full lockdown some areas remained busy. The town has a +/- 40% ethnic, mainly Asian, population. The cultural values are such household infection is almost inevitable. There have been many local news reports of the lengths to which Asian workers have been going to protect their families. It's a huge shame this hasn't worked.
I had a very productive day yesterday, got loads done. Today I reap my reward as five of us head out in glorious sunshine on a big ride. For those who like a browse it's below. This is the likely route though we have an alternative when we get to Wigglesworth 75 miles in. We can go right and over Tosside >Slaidburn >Dunsop Bridge >Whitewell >Chipping..........and where do all roads lead? Have you been paying attention ? CHIPPING!! It's true Chipping is the centre of our local universe. Tosside is a challenge rewarded by fabulous views and a great cafe at the top. Leaving from my house it's probably 110 rather than the 117 I mapped from the club meet point. I have double porridge on the go!!!!! Guys and gals arrive at mine for 9.00 so time to get ready. Catch you all later............
Oh @Dave7 - I did mention stakes before!! Post a couple of pics and I'll advise later.

I've just heard that one of my favourite cafe's is reopening Monday, I might ride over though I suspect it will be rammed full.

Morning all, this part of Scotland’s east coast is joining down south in a bit of sunshine today. I remember the summer of 2020, it was on a Friday 
I fancy the 2 bridges run, the 2 bridges out of 5 that make a circuit of the 4th.

There is already a constant stream of traffic heading to the beach. Think I'll avoid it this weekend.
They closed the main beach car park at 10.20am yesterday and were turning people away. Woolacombe was gridlocked and the traffic was backing up 2 miles on the main road into Braunton.
I'm beginning to wish that folk would take their foreign holidays again.

I'm hoping that infection levels remain low up here and the kids go back to school on 11th August as planned. Hope things might be quieter after that.
