I rode the Surly KramPug into work with the hope that i would hear/see the dust of Combines and some stubble fields to ride after work but it was not to be here yet...
Up to work and a lovely sunrise that would by mid afternoon cloud over...
Work all done and home time and the fore casted rain never arrived so i headed for a detour home via the local estate...
With all the recent rain showers there is a lot of colour, esp lush green in the woods...
Brightened up also by my orange Altura Night Vision soft shell top i wear for visibility on the road-it`s loud!...
Sadly some sections of the John Muir Way have never been mowed this year,
This is the Blue Ribbon trail of East Lothian and look at it!, wonder what holiday visitors think when they come to sections like this, wide enough for wheel chairs or those 3 wheel off road prams and look at it...
Anyway rant over and choose your own trails to avoid the jungle, like this field end rigg...
Back home and the road has been chipped today...
This could start a new cycling craze, they could call it `Gravel riding` or something.... :D
Anyway someone asked me how long the local trails are i ride as my films are usually edited with ride by scenes etc-anywhere between 3 and 20 minutes (Riverside trails are longest),
Here is a typical trail i rode this evening filmed with the Go Pro chest cam along the local estate lakeside-yes we do have lakes here in Scotland, and two are here in East Lothian...
Song is `Spectrum` by Boards of Canada...
