Another lovely Sunday morning ride through Whitestake this morning and then back home. 15 miles in total and the weather was perfect.
A lovely cycle around Leyland this evening in the warm but not too hot weather. Set off not really knowing where I was going and ended up doing 13.5 miles. Thoroughly enjoyable!
It was lovely weather this Sunday morning and I headed out with my brother around the Longton area for a lovely cycle. Really enjoyed the ride in the flat countryside.
We managed 8 miles after a cycle to get started and it really felt like I could have done another 8. Definitely going to try and make this a more regular thing.
