........Nice to be out on the shiny bike again, it like me enjoys these flat Cheshire rides

Today I also did an Impromptu ride on the skinny bike but not in Cheshire!
Over a hill to Glossop, over a hill to Ladybower. Quick bite to eat at The Woodbine then along the Edale valley and over a hill to Chapel, over a hill to Hayfield, over a hill to Glossop and back over the hill into Ashton. 55 much needed miles to help shift some of the pasta, pastries and wine I have put away over the last few days

I was riding along the Edale valley when I met a motorist driving in the opposite direction whose reaction to seeing me was to stare at me while patting his head with a spread hand? I'm not sure if he was cruelly drawing attention to my follicly challenged pate or attempting a game of pat your head, rub your tummy. Either way, I would have felt a lot safer if he had kept both his hands on the steering wheel as he negotiated the narrow twisty lanes.
Managed to hit 51.3mph as I dropped down Chunal into Glossop
