Local road ride in the glorious winter sun and salty roads

 


The heat wave has gone and we are back to overnight rain which froze during the early hours but the sun came out = a bike ride. With the weather so good I decided to take out my road Creo. The roads were drying out nicely leaving them pure white with salt but still plenty cold salty spray from the back wheel where it was shady. This is a local road route in a figure of eight and I only use the same stretch of road once for approx 20m. The roads were mainly very busy with traffic with a good few very close passes. This is why I like mainly off road rides now or going out first thing Saturday or Sunday morning before it gets too mad on the roads. On the plus side some were passing with more than 1.5m gap and at a reasonable speed. I did not stop that often for photos but there are a few below inc the route - 32.5miles with 2300ft of climbing in 2hrs 7 mins, enjoy and hopefully more soon -
