@sevenfourate - don't you ever sleep?
I thought that since you get up before sunrise for dog walks and bike rides, you must go to bed about 4 hours earlier than this!
Huh. Sleep. You what ?
Your ride today....

Not too warm as yet on today’s commute in. Was running a wee bit late after walking 2 miles with the dog: before then leaving at 4.40am. So only did the bare minimum / straight ride in today……bloomin lovely it was too though ❤️
Overlooking the Broads pre-sunrise…….
A proper Suffolk Sunrise today:
More practice for the legs:

I thought about doing a hilly evening 50 km ride today once the temperature had dropped to a more comfortable level. I set off but soon decided that I would prefer to do a shorter and slower ride, rather than thrashing myself to do the longer one before dark.
I was riding along the valley to Hebden Bridge and noticed a strange clicking noise from somewhere in the front half of the bike. It was really irritating me. I could not work out what it was until I realised that it was slowly getting quieter and soon after that it finally stopped...
Question: What sounds exactly like a cycling bottle which has had a tray of ice cubes added to chill one's drink for a hot summer evening ride?

My original route was going to take me from Mytholmroyd up the famous Cragg Vale climb, but I changed my mind and did the longer, steeper, more scenic alternative of Scout Road, Steep Lane, High Stones Road, which eventually rejoins the other climb above Cragg Vale.
I continued up to Blackstone Edge reservoir, the surface of which was unusually ripple-free.
A rapid descent got me to Littleborough. I opted for the harder/quieter route out of the village/town up through Caldermoor and Calderbrook, then rejoined the A6033 for a rapid ride back to Todmorden.
A fine 38 km summer evening ride...
