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 :)

Commute home via Cople bridleways

Not quite as fast running from Chicksands to Bedford but less uphill and more cover from the sun, which was much needed today

Commute home via Cowshed Cafe

Took a detour off my usual route home to pick up Greensand Ridge trail. Bit more rural and plenty more shade, which made it a good choice for today.

Canal commute

Having gone to Dunstable after work, took the opportunity to pick up Greenway/ NCN6 to Leighton and then a peaceful ride along Grand Union canal to MK before turning for home. Robust head wind to begin the ride soon turned to a gentle push home from MK.

Nice start to Bank Hol weekend

A pleasant commute home across the fields, with a light wind easing me home.
A detour further down Icknield Way than usual as Apsley End road to Shillington is closed for works.

Commute home via Wrest Park / Clophill

Tried a Westerly divert around Apsley End road closure. Offroad was more agricultural than Icknield Way plus a walking section to get into Clophill.
Not as quick as I thought......

Mixed loop to Grafham

A nice big loop with fair amount of bridleway / low traffic roads.
Bit of a divert exiting St Neots to Abbotsley because of A421 road building but worth it for the long offroad to Sandy.

Old favourite

A favourite low traffic loop, with plenty of gravel / bridleway. A chance to see if the fields are drying out without risking any Hike a Bike
