A glorious day for a bike ride so took the Scott Solace (mudguardless) out for a spin. I had expected the roads to be drier than they were but most were wet with a combination of salt, drawing the moisture, and cowshit/slurry left by farmers who don't give a shit!

Up to Chelmorton,Flagg and on to Parsley Hay. Down Long Dale and up to Heathcote and Biggin before a stretch of the 515 to Newhaven across to Monyash and home via Magpie Mine.

A total of 33 miles and 2,631 feet in 2hrs 23 min.
