Today's Ride

[fennec]

Todays ride, 28 miles total, went everywhere locally in a big loop
Pics are 50/50 phone and gopro

I set the tone for the rest of the ride by starting with the bit that’s usually under water 366 days of the year

That tone being “damp”
That is a state funded bike trail btw
And they’re paving an earlier section of it for some reason even though that section is fine, but this section is under water

I crossed a really sketchy bridge where the ties were crumbly


If you step on them wrong they splinter and then you die

And got to here for a cool break


And then wandered into the woods where I found a woodchuck

Nice ride to Faversham today. There was a nip to the wind early on but the temperature was up to about 20°C by late morning: perfect cycling weather.



Faversham was packed. Too busy to even wheel a bike through. Probably due to a classic car show in the town centre, so I headed to a nearby park to wolf down most of a bag of chocolate chip cookies while watching some sweaty joggers who looked they were trying to shed a few pounds.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood ?

not like usual... after 6kms of riding and 20min waiting for the storm to pass under a tree ...

...it really didn't looked so wrong, but it enden up an hour walking and sliding back home in the mud...

...because the wheels were blocked by the mud...

(pic above was taken before things gone really awful. later I wasn't too keen to make photos)

halfway home facing the next round of rain...

fortunately I got home before it arrived.

Me: We've just got an hour, we'll stick to pavement and paths.
Duck Norris: You bet!
Me: Did you see that bird fly into the forest?
Duck Norris:

You bet!

I feel I owe this thread an apology as all my posts are essentially the same and scenically bland .
There's little or nothing I can do about it atm though.
Apologies.

You're riding. Good enough, not the interesting scenery from the armchair thread
