Lovely colours this now in Binning Woods, i rode along across frozen ground avoiding the worst of the mud on the trails which are soaked after recent days of heavy rain showers...
Around the woods are for the 1st winter ride able on the new all weather paths put in over the last two years. This ride is one of my night time rides so it is nice to show it in daylight pictures...
Beach tree- `Queen of the forest` and although light cloud this morning the leaves almost glow in the light...
The lone Copper beach in Bruce`s Circle standing proud, some of Dads ashes are here under the tree, Beach trees were his favourite trees, esp in Autumn, stopped off here at the bench for 5 minutes to say hello and tell him were all ok and life is good...
On down towards the northern edge of the wood...
The perimeter trail along the north of the wood is unsurfaced and wet in places though the beach leaves provide a carpet to ride along ok...
Riding home along a short section of road after a real muddy field boundary trail and a low sun came out from the clouds. Wish i was back on the wood again where the light now would be amazing in the Autumn gold...
Shimano Alfine 8 speed hub drive chain ideal for winter conditions, i don't often wash bikes but having daylight to do so makes it an easy quick job to do...
Wee film in the woods, Song is `Nylon` by Phontaine
