That bit is the trans pennine between Altrincham and Lymm. And yes, it is a fab ride out

It looks like a much less hilly version (perfect for a fen dweller like me) of this:

Which is a section of NCN 23 between New Alresford and Ovington. The River Itchen is somewhere at the bottom of the bank on the right. Lovely ride, but gawd, I don't "do" hills...

Feeling slightly better but very tired.

Glad you're feeling a bit more chipper xxx

Erm ... that's not a hill

And mentioning hills the hillclimb we were supposed to be at tomorrow morning has been cancelled due to roadworks

So we've lots of time to get to the British Cycling Michaelgate Dash hillclimb tomorrow evening in Lincoln: https://www.velouk.net/2021/10/12/preview-newells-michaelgate-dash

Son no. 2's in the Junior's for £100 cash and his team-mate has already won since she's the only Junior girl. Up this, up right, up left then up right to the top:

He's also been accepted into the National hillclimb up Winnat's Pass. Now that's a hill @Reynard . I rejected myself before the organisers could by not entering.

Mind, when you live here, just about *anything* is a hill...

Although that bit of NCN 23 - the road drops sharply, and there's a horrible climb up the other side. The entry into Ovingdon is evil!

As it happens my routes are always, always flat as a pancake! I don`t do hills even with electric motor to assist!


Mmmm pancakes

If just one more person asks me if I was wearing a helmet when a Citroën ran over my foot I will explode.

I wonder where I can get one of these helmets that protects my ankle.
