Mini adventure to Reddish Vale Country Park last weekend with some friends, a picnic and my new single speed. Getting lost on the way to the waterfall before getting caught in torrential rain 👌 photos courtesy of Ami

Made it to Pendle Hill this time and stopped by Edenfield Waterfall on the return. Made friends with some cows too. Can anyone identify this insect?

Hathersage via Monsal Trail and back via Roman Road. 85+ miles, 6,300+ ft climbing and some 'proper' gravel riding. Thought I might have bitten off more than I could chew by the time I got to Hathersage, but refuelling and words of encouragement from the friendly staff @alpkit made the rest of the ride fly by

Tried to get to Pendle Hill and back before work but had to cut the ride short as left a little late and was delayed further by diversions for the Great North Run.
Good job I turned back too as then got an awkward rear puncture, fixing which took all my 'buffer' time.
Gonna start taking my rides on weekdays so I can get more miles in without the stress as I build up to 200km in September.

Ride to Hathersage with Mantas cut short by my optimistic relationship with time but enjoyable nonetheless 😂 #peakdistrict #hathersage #marple #cycling #roadcycling #nofilter
Chorlton to Kelham Island past Ladybower Reservoir with Mantas. Beautiful ride on a beautiful day and a great lunch at the The Grind café afterwards.

First group ride in a long time and the first big ride for the guys. They absolutely smashed it.
Nice smooth climb to Snake Pass summit on Sunday after learning a lot the weekend before.
Nearly called the whole thing off with a brief front derailleur panic before we even set off, but turned out to be minor issue.

My face yesterday on a chill(ish) ride to snake pass summit and back Vs my face 6.5 weeks ago after an underprepared and overtrained slog to Sheffield feat. hypoglycemia 😳
Removal of the mudguards might have been a bit premature/optimistic for April though 😂

Belated Fringe photos - Architecture: just a few shots of some of the amazing architecture in the city; you can really see where JK got some of her inspiration from for HP - also shout out @highfademusic for being the best street act I saw all week, unparalleled energy #architecture #edinburgh #edfringe #clock #castle #harrypotter #streetperformer #rockband
