Where are you?

I had beautiful blue skies, bright sunshine and I baked in my bike gear.

up in the hills, @ Rivington/Turton/Helmshore (Rossendale Valley)

I've been up to matlock today with the power ranger brigade haha. Nice ride out though, more than kept up with 2 R6's on the twisties, and as always some nice fish and chips!

I got up early and had a cracking ride out, stopped about 30 mile from home at a pub to watch the mighty reds go 5 points clear at the top of the prem, all in all its been a brilliant day (even the blue's done well) :hyper:

I got up early this morning and hid loads of chocolate eggs for my boys to find! Had a great day though and not back to work til Thursday so should get some miles on before then!!

I got out on my bike today, thats pushbike though lol, i'm on a fitness and fat-less drive at the moment.

Jumped on the canal from Hyde to Marple then canal from Marple to New Mills then old railway trail from New Mills to Hayfield and popped back over the hills to home. Took a few pics but my camera battery died just as I reached Marple so that sucks, there would have been plenty more scenery to show you from there!

However the Hyde/Marple section is really nice because there's plenty of woodland and in springtime it always looks good ;)

Dark tunnel, always walk this one, can you guess why?

Spotted this fella, watched him a good 10 mins and he never so much as blinked...great concentration when your dinner relies on it eh?

Canal viaduct at marple end, what a magnificent structure it is, that's the railway viaduct in the background

Its a long way down!

Sadly that all I have, just a few yards from here is the 18 or so canal locks which must take and age to pass through, then of on the New Mills canal which is quite an elevated section through the beautiful hills of the peak district. And finally on reaching New Mills, off up the sett valley trail (old railway line) to Hayfield...I used to ride my tiger cub trial bike on that before they made it a recognised trail.

Loved it :D

Sadly, no, didnt get out today, or any other day of the holiday period
