Urban nature meets urban art
On the workhorse for a change at the weekend - usual weekend bike still in shop being fixed following Badger Divide battering. Some cool wildflowers out and some new street art in the usual places. Nice to be spinning in the dry after the rain this week.

May 5 - Badger Divide - end Inverness
Just.when I thought nothing else could go wrong with the bike the mechanicals continued…the bodge repair to the seatpost clamp failure using a hose clamp lasted about an hour at most before seat collapsed down again far too low especially for all the uphills. Before we’d left Fort Augustus I…

To Hadleigh Castle
First third roughly on a busy road - not much fun or particularly attractive; the last bit before Hadleigh is not the nicest either, fairly busy; bits in between and from Hadleigh to Leigh-on-Sea - lovely. Easy train back to Stratford.

Sunday spin in the sun
Accidentally planned as ‘cycle touring’ instead of ‘gravel riding’ on Komoot. Replanned when realised but had more road than I’d usually do. Did still manage to come cross a herd of about 30 deer though on one of the bridleways/forest paths. A lot of the fields and bridleways were very…
