About SteveP
I ride because the country side is a great place to explore. I prefer to keep off road where possible, looking for bridleways / cycle routes to get out into the countryside with its fresh air, views and tranquility.
Major bonus is it helps to keep my stress levels down :)

      Nice long loop using bridleways/ gravel/ low traffic roads. Section between Bedford & Grafham uses the 3 Shires Way. Great pitstop at Grafham community shop & pub half way round. A much better option than stopping at Grafham Water itself.

      After yesterday's gruelling effort in Zwift Games final stage, needed an easy low stress loop today. Included a coffee stop at RSPB Sandy to enjoy the sun, nature and birdsong.

      Was a tough start with the sticky bridleways and robust easterly wind. However trails were drying out nicely and rideable all the way.

      Needed a couple of stops shortly after to let the knees recover, which included an overpriced ice cream on the river. Much needed though :)

      The wind was then on my back

      Nice to get out in the fresh air again as it's been a while. Decided to track a loop using National Byway roads to avoid any risk of a sloppy hike a bike on my usual routes.

      A pleasant route out through the countryside with hedgerows shielding some of the gusting wind. Roads not particularly busy either which is a bonus.

      The flooding along many of my usual routes encouraged me to make a change and try the lessor known country roads north of Bedford. Fairly low traffic with a great cafe stop at Keysoe.

      A quick spin to get some fresh air in the lungs. Ncn 51 route east is blocked by flooding after the a421 bridge crossing between Marina and Danish Camp + north to Go Outdoors.

      Turned back into town for a coffee and made my way back home. A nice bright day to be out after the horror show we've seen recently.

      Country roads out to St Neots, onwards towards Abbotsley then the traffic free sections of gravel to Sandy and Route 51 back into Bedford.

      Gustier than expected but still a nice warmth.
