Floods, sleet and suspected hypothermia? spring is here!

The only photograph from Sunday's ride, and that was taken the next morning when I tipped out the soaking wet contents of the LiDL carrier bag I got drenched on Sunday completing the first standard ride of the year. A 70 in 6 from Cottingham Green out to Stamford Bridge. As last year I clung [...]

Wall Photos

Long before Facebook, I've taken and posted "wall photos." Maybe it is due to fact that I am more likely to be cycling at 7-10 mph than at a 20-25 mph clip. You notice walls at casual pace.
