All months have their regular weather pattern and April is the month which is a classic for this;
Saturday evening was to nice to sit inside, waiting for Francis to come home i went a walk with Mowgli and soaked up the evening sunshine...
As the temperature dropped as the sun set you would have thought it was going to be a frosty night...
Sat on a rock i soaked up the calm weather and sinking sun...
But with the westerly breeze Sunday dawned with a thick damp mist, visibility was around 100 yards, i was out on the golf course again this weekend for 2 hours and the greens were thick with dampness...
Home i was soon out on the Surly Karate Monkey drop bar 29er for the Sunday morning mash, usually a 2 hour cycle i do solo when nothing else planned,
Today i rode the 24 mile MTB loop i used to regularly do from home via the Garleton hills Ridge Road, then down to the River Tyne and along to East Linton and home via some of the John Muir Way...
All pics i took from the saddle on the mobile as i rode, so no mono pod ride by selfies today, but here is me!...
Up on the ridge road and the surrounds loured out the mist...
As i neared Barney Hill the mist started to burn away, it was now 10am and this is so typical at this time of year...
Up to the summit and blue sky!...
Descending the Plantains single track it was down to the river tyne trail...
And the single track was dry and buff!...
Look at that blue sky!...
Easter eggs being rolled down a slope at Hailes Castle...
Just here i saw a Kingfisher dart along the water, time i pulled the phone out it was gone. I put it away and another one darted past!!!... some things are meant to be unrecorded, that i guess is what makes some rides like this morning so memorable, things you treasure yourself...
Austin Mini, free uplift, needs some TLC...
East Linton and leaving the tyne for the John Muir Way and home for lunch...
Nearly midday and warming up. It`s going to be a cracker, home for lunch, grab a Pugsley and Mowgli and head for John Muir Park...
More soon...
