Coastriding with friends...

Go Pro still pics, hence the wonky skylines!

Good to get back out on the coast with friends again, and Saturday i met up with Jason, Craig and Stuart for a wind assisted blast down to NB, and i mean wind assisted!, it was real gusty but loving the Autumn days now cooler and deserted beaches...

Here is a film riding down to NB,

we rode back to Gullane trying to keep out the strong headwind and rode through Archerfield via the JMW.  At the field crossing the field had just been seeded and rolled, only a couplle of sets of foot prints marked the visual route across the soft sandy field so we rode across, leaving the first tyre tracks on the route!

 Thought why not make a film?

Weekend...

Into Autumn now and i always enjoy the change off seasons and the different conditions they bring, like how now we have cooler evenings and mornings, the  trees are slowly turning in colour,
and the Pink Foot Geese have returned for the winter and grazing in fields and  gathering in there thousands at Aberlady Bay, an amazing sight, more on that soon,
After a week of wind and heavy showers it was nice to get some high pressure and clear skies again for the weekend!,  We spent both days out riding harvested fields, M on her horse Johnny, myself on the Surly Pugsley Fatbike...

Go Pro was a bit bumpy on the horse filming while cantering but good for another angle...

Stunning Autumn harvest day...

A lovely day...

Sunday dawned real fresh with single figure temps, not long till we get a frost...

A walk with Jake dog along Gullane Beach early and what a sky!

Back out again riding/cycling and enjoying the blue sky...

Could live with a few weeks weather like this!, stunning days and cool evenings, dark by 7.30pm and the stove on...

Here is a film from Saturday,

Early morning beachride...

Early Autumn, the temps are dropping now with single digit nights, the trees are starting to turn and drop their leaves, there is a different smell down in the woods now, a tinge of dampness and rotten vegetation...

On the coast early and a different light on the coast to my usual late afternon rides...

A short ride today as off out later this afternoon so a quick ride, through the woods then onto the coast...

Nice light on the water...

Along the beach then inland and back to the van, Fat fix done and home...
