Friday Morning Bike Ride

On Friday morning I got to get out on a bike ride (hubby being stuck at home with a broken collar bone does have its baby-sitting advantages!)

After arranging to meet up with a friend for the central part of the ride I set off along the cycle path.

A suitably locomotive sculpture; the cycle path is a disued railway line. Beautiful blue skies.

Over the river.

Tractor and trailer heading home to the farm.

Snow on the hills.

Early lambs getting big.

Two bikes for this week's bike shot. I am not alone...

Trees, hills and sheep. The landscape still looks a little wintry, but the brightness of the light indicates Spring (so I think anyway!)

Back on my own I leave the cycle path for the roads.

Umm, still more trees, hills and sheep!

A little bit of ruined castle.

I came home along a road I'd driven several times but never cycled. It looked promising from the car, but once on the bike and able to take in the views properly I wasn't too impressed, hence the lack of photos for the journey home.

Just as well I did get out on my bike though as there's been a bit of baking happening here.

Mmmm cakes. A few calories worked off on the bike, and topped up again once home.

The chocolately one was an experimental tiffin recipe and it was yummy - better than my original tiffin recipe. I'll attempt it again and will post the updated recipe, all being well.

Today we went to the seaside, photos to follow...
