Another day, another great ride. Today I headed out early afternoon, firstly to Chasewater then on to Lichfield and the festival market. From the busy city, I headed to the quiet of the east Staffordshire countryside – Whittington, Croxall, Walton, Rosliston, Lullington, Harlaston and back via Wall.
A fine ride in very hot weather, about 45 miles. It was still, and the air hazy. I make no apologies for sharing a second set of ride images this weekend – it’s glorious out there, and I know many of the readers love these.
The poppies at Pipe Hill are joyous. Do go check them out if you can.
