I need to do a ride today to get my 3rd in - not looking forward to stepping out the door....

 

[FrothNinja]

W43R1- 1 hour 0 minutes - Mon - fusion commute
W44R2 - 2 hour 58 minutes - Tues - local miles around Burnley, Ridge, Sabden, Whalley, Billington, Barrow, Sabden, Ridge, Fence, local miles around Burnley to get to qualifying distance (total 37.9 miles / 61.0 km, plus 697 m / 2,287 ft ascent)
W44R3 - 41 minutes - Sun - blowy local miles. Knee was giving me gyp so I barely got out of zone 1. Wind has wreaked/is wreaking chaos with the local vegetation and made it quite aggressive. Managed to avoid getting a botanic slapping...

Spotted on Tuesday - stopped by some unimproved pasture to take some fungi photos.
