Your ride today....

Presumably that isn't the Somersham in Suffolk? (I used to live there)

Cambridgeshire, west of Ely and north of St Ives.

I remember we used to get post wrongly delivered as there was a Church Close on both villages!

A 36km loop from Littleborough down Cragg Vale and back through Hebden Bridge and Todmorden. One of my usual loops.

I’m telling my Boss I’m starting early and finishing early today……so that meant a 3.30am dog walk. Followed by a 4.40am start to my cycle commute - to then arrive at work for 5.30am. Considering that - I feel ok 😁

Weather forecast isn’t wonderful here today and we may see a few showers mid-morning. However I missed the possible early ones and had a dry ride in. And even caught some sporadic ‘sun-rise’ between some reasonably dark-grey cloud.

Uneventful 🙏 ride otherwise - with the Carrera Subway One churning out the miles pain-free as it normally does. And the Fenwicks chain lube doing a wonderful job (I REALLY rate that stuff) of quietening the drive train to near silence - and letting me focus on my one (Sound projecting) ear-bud and the sounds of Mother Nature…….

Love my early rides ❤️

Ride home complete. Funny how I was keener heading home than heading in 🤣

A little Grey..But dry……and mighty warm. Hoping it stays pleasant enough to ride tomorrow too 👌

One of mine too (in both directions), although I obviously start and finish in Todmorden.

I often head down the A58 towards Ripponden, and then turn left onto Blue Ball Road just before Baitings Reservoir. You probably already know the lovely lumpy lanes** in that triangular area between Blackstone Edge, Sowerby Bridge, and Mytholmroyd, but if you don't then I recommend checking them out!

Love my early rides ❤️

You have almost motivated me to do at least one summer sunrise weekend ride. I could get to the Forest of Bowland before the roads got busy, whiz around out there and be back around lunchtime.


** Admirably alluring alliteration?

DO IT ! Maybe just don’t go to bed Col ?

And make sure to pick a day where the Sun actually shines / is going to be visible 🤣

I only do it once a year on the Ride to the Sun
