I don't normally stop to take photos when I ride but I've got a new phone and the camera is soooo much better than my old one!

Newlands. And at a guess the bridge into Cobham?

Correct, newlands on my way out and the bridge is when I'm nearly home. I'd spotted that some of your photos are around here too so assume you are local-ish?

Yeah I'm not too far from Brooklands, you?

Due to covid rules, under 65's have certain times to go to the shops. It's afyer 4:30 in the afternoon if you miss the midday slot.

-4°C. Bloody freezing.

Up to 170 miles this month. Happy with that so far

From the last couple of rides...

Manly Beach...



This morning overlooking Cowan Creek...



Was the first time a friend had been on a bike in a few years and I don’t think he was relishing the ride back...

No photos but a depressing amount of litter, what kind of scummer gets a feat from McDonalds and dumps it in a rural layby ?

And lots of energy drink cans, doesnt obviously provide enough energy got find a fking bin.

Still lots of crunchy ice and snow - a foot at the top was hard work.

A scummer would do such a thing

Did you pick it up or drive on?

View from the other side of the hills today.

So busy today around Warwick and in the rural lanes to the south west. I have a 21 mile loop that I do before work (when it's light) and there must have been 30 bikes and 20 walkers that I saw today.

Very muddy though. No ice here thankfully but lots of flowing and standing water in the lanes. But a lovely dry and quite still day.

Well, as was on a bike and there was miles of it in all sorts of awkward places, not really practical and would need several bin bags.

Though I do keep my dog walk route litter free, pick it up and deposit it in the bins on the route.

I hate the amount of litter I see thrown out of cars. I live in a very rural area too, it's quite sickening.

Lovely day at Mui Wo bike park on Saturday. I was on a rental Patrol 691 29er and the mrs was taking her Commencal Meta out for the first time.

[robbiekhan]

Those are awesome!

I don't recommend going for a cycle anywhere in North Lanarkshire or West Lothian then.

Litter volume is pretty appalling but not half as infuriating as all the microwaves, freezers, couches, bathrooms etc.
