I should perhaps leave this guy alone since he has faced world-wide ridicule after blindly following his Sat-Nav down a steep footpath, but I spotted it on yesterday’s ride and just had to show you the picture I took of it…
There has been an unseasonably warm wind blowing up from the tropics the past few days so it hasn’t felt anything like the end of October. I was busy earlier on, but decided to nip out on my road bike mid-afternoon to make the most of the good weather. I have planned another ride for [...]
My pal Carrie came over today for a tour of the local bridleways on our MTBs. We hadn’t seen each other for about six months so we had a lot of catching up to do. We set off along the canal towpath towards Todmorden and at Callis Bridge we turned on to the Mary Towneley [...]
