I’ve been riding up in Yorkshire. The minor roads are pretty dirty with mud from tractors, but, when the sun comes out they are very quiet at this time of the year. It’s a great feeling to be able to cycle on roads free of cars. One day, the sun even came out so I took some photos.

The Road from Ilkley to Bolton Abbey - as many bikes as cars, but it’s prety muddy.

In no particular order, these are some great photos from this year. Most of them I found on Flickr searching creative commons licences. If you have any photos you would like to include let me know. Some of the photos at the end are taking by me!

Looking towards Burnsall

I spent a few days In Yorkshire. Fortunately, first day was fine. I cycle 95 miles from Menston to Burnsall, Buckden, Fleet Moss,  Hawes, Asygarth and back down through the Wharfe Valley. I averaged 18.5mph and really enjoyed it. The first 60 miles I did as training; but, then after a tea stop in Kettlewell, I took it easy on the way back. It’s good to just enjoy the scenary for a change!

Fleet Moss Climb from Hubberholme to Hawes

View from the top of Fleet Moss, the highest road in Yorkshire. This is another cyclist I overtook on the long and hard 17% climb. It was a great descent down the other side into Hawes (20% and straight). I got a maximum of 53mph.

This photo is evocative of an off road trail, high in the Lake District. I like the contrast between the light and the shadows. The original caption says ‘into the shadows’
