Another fine, hot day of cycling. Fortunately a gentle headwind and some shade made it all quite pleasant. Canals (Macclesfield and then Mersey & Trent) and old railway lines again, which made for easy and scenic cycling.
Another wonderful thing about canals is that they form their own ecosystem, so you can pass through heavy industrial, high traffic urban areas, but remain blissfully unaware of the four lane highways and huge cloverleave interchanges around you. Some canals actually pass right under these interchanges.
I continue to provide sustenance to all manner of flying insects. Food on the go. If some of these bugs are trapped in amber, a million years from now some scientists will extract the DNA, hoping to recreate a dinosaur. Instead of a T Rex, they’ll end up with an IT consultant – better forelimb dexterity but much less fearsome.
The scenery is amazing which must help you carry on up those endless hills! I hope that the sun comes out more and more for you! It has been pretty wet here lately so don’t miss Victoria weather too much!
Happy Trails!
Looks like the weather got better in Victoria. Here too!!
