Allan B

I got my first bike (a Raleigh Olympic 10 speed racer) when I was 10 and have loved cycling ever since. Over the following decades bikes have come and gone but there's always been something in the shed. My most recent acquisition is a Brompton, which I bought at retirement and I love it to bits because of its transportability. I've transported it in the car, the bus and the train to get me to destinations that are further afield. I'm not really interested in distance vs time, I'm just looking to get outside and see some lovely scenery and explore the Liverpool / Manchester area (and further afield) at a leisurely pace.

I also like to walk outdoors, which is a pastime that has evolved since doing the Duke of Edinburgh's award scheme (Bronze, Silver & Gold) as a teenager. Although I can still push the occasional peaks & mountain trail, my preference is now the less strenuous heritage and themed trails that tend to be based around permanent or travelling exhibits in our towns, cities & surrounding woodlands.

Happy cycling & walking. Allan :-)

Ride around Westbrook pt2

For some reason my Garmin (which was recording my unplanned route) decided to stop displaying the Komoot map and stop recording before I'd finished. Any suggestions why would be helpful.
