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.

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.

Today I learnt that, despite being in modern day O 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’ 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

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
