Really nice ride yesterday with a few very punchy and exceedingly steeps climbs in the last third.

Working on my Bedrock Sandals tan.

Whiskers.

Clip-on aero bars or lightweight toast carrier? You decide.

Ok, I may have (wilfully) underestimated how much harder a switch from a 32- to a 36-tooth (oval) chainring would make climbing the local hills but it was still a really nice gravel ride.

I’m still discovering this new region I live in and this view was offered to me on a recent longer bike ride.

She’s cute and she damn well knows it. That’s her “What are you doing? Can we continue with the hike, please?” look she sometimes gets when I take too long taking pictures.

I felt good after the ride yesterday but my legs are quite empty today. Huh.

Walked past these super relaxed cows on my Sunday hike. The meadow they were on was fenced off on the one side and had a stream on the other side. They looked like they’re vacationing.

This little, new blackbirb was sunbathing and warming its butt on warm tiles of our terrace a few days back. Smart birb.
