Here

Lately this is mostly a feed of no, I have had it with feeds, let’s make this site actually have the things I get up to, and find interesting, amusing or timewasting in other places.

There

You can find me on goodreads, flickr, twitter, facebook, ravelry and pinterest among others, but I’m more at home here in my own space than in those other places.

Change of scenery! (Note to self: take more photos! I was too busy enjoying the ride!)

Today I learnt that, despite being in modern day Oldham borough, Saddleworth is historically in the West Riding and the Lancs/Yorks border doesn’t run along the ridge of the Pennines here as I thought it did. Another day I will descend into the valley and find it, along with the western bit of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal. Today I was 😰tired and 🥵hot and had had enough of 🌄hills, even on an ⚡️electric 🚲bike! #electricbike #pedelec #yorkshire #welcometoyorkshire #saddleworth

I went in search of the Little Don Cycleway. It’s gets plus points for going somewhere you might actually want to go (a decent retail park), neutral points for not linking up to other bike infrastructure (something has to come first), and huge negative points for the barriers that make it a pain to get even my pretty standard width handlebars bike onto it, heaven help you if you have any kind of non standard or disability bike. I also managed to screw up my GPS tracker - I’ve reconstructed it so the path is right but the photos are in the wrong places and I was nowhere near 40mph! #cycling #nationalcyclenetwork #transpenninetrail #ncn62 #ncn67 #ukbikeweek #electricbike #pedelec #cycling

“The slow machine that England was”. Also ambling about trying to figure out why the canal suddenly loses its foot/cycle path around the edge of the town, especially weird as it’s through the university. #electricbike #pedelec #huddersfield #cycling #canal

May has been a rubbish month from several different angles but things get better from here 🤞 It’s the 🚲 #worldsbiggestbikeride today and the 🌞 is shining. #electricbikes #oxygenbicycles #pedelec

Miranda’s home already and that’s a wrap on high school! It’s been a roller coaster for sure. Next stop is sixth form college (which doesn’t get you out of posing for first day of term photos sorry kid!)

I’ve been looking out for Millennium Mileposts on my NCN rides without success. Found a map this week and discovered that these are the closest ones to me; I haven’t been missing them they are just unevenly distributed around the network and I live in a bare patch. These two were sadly neglected with bad paint jobs, and one was missing its time trail disc. I narrowly missed a third but there is a fourth up the same path so I’ll go back another time to look! #ncn #ncn66 #nationalcyclenetwork #millenniummileposts #ebikes #pedelec #spenvalleygreenway #oxygenbicycles
