Paul Curtis 🏕️🍻

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle. (Hemingway)

Miles after of miles of pedalling most of it set to private, but every now and then I will show off and turn an interesting ride public, complete with photos of beers near my bike

Homeward Bound

Familiar lanes to Wantage, then a new route up to the Ridgeway, which proved a nice little climb.
The Ridgeway was excellent, super dusty and fast, half expected to get swamped by the Strade Bianche peloton.
As always reading was a horror, there is no good option through the town…
