Your ride today....

[sevenfourate]

No cycling for 5 weeks. Then Aprils 50km “CC 50km Challenge” ride yesterday. Followed by deciding to commute in today. ** ‘Ride the wave while you’re enjoying it’ ? 🤷‍♂️

Anyway; Nothing but 13 miles of warm(ish) quiet, back-lane loveliness this Morning. Triffic ! 😁

 

[All uphill]

The prospect of a warm day lured me back to the bike/train combo today.

I enjoyed the mile to the station, mixing with slow moving traffic, and looking out for my safety. Three people stepped off the pavement in front of me in separate incidents reminding me that my bike and I are invisible.

Had a nice chat on the train with another bike rider, then got out at Bristol 30 minutes later and £12.05 poorer.

Topped up at Greggs and then had a blast cycling through Bristol, enjoying a new to me path along Spike Island.
I thoroughly enjoyed the miles of shared paths heading south west. I soon entered the dullness of the suburbs along with their impatient drivers.

Eventually I emerged into countryside and took a break to take off a few layers and refill my water bottle.

The miles rolled past and I took a quick picture of the leaning tower of Puxton.

Soon after this I rode back into the urban sprawl of Weston super Mare where I caught the train home.
