Yesterday was a double celebratory ride. My first ride on the Boardman ADV for a couple of months after its return with new chain, bottom bracket and brake pads; and with my replacement Garmin 520 Plus. I must have overwhelmed the other after a mere three years of use.
Only a criss cross 37 miles and 3100 feet circuit of the River Wharfe would do so through or past Addingham, Bolton Abbey, Skyreholme, down to Dibble's Bridge to test my new brake pads, Grassington/Threshfield, my favourite quarry in Cracoe, Rylestone, Mr B's favourite Craven Heifer pub, Embsay steam railway: all in the company of hundreds of cyclists, bikers and tourists out in the Spring sunshine.
And the Tour of Flanders waiting for when I got home.
