I know I'm fortunate - our rules allow one trip on the bike a day and I'm being so sensible. Stay local, short loops (if only because I may have to walk home) and ride on my own. The silence is now profound and the still, calm weather adds a strange sensation as if the world has slowed and shut down. In a way it has. It struck me that this sense probably hasn't existed here for a century, time before cars, radios, airplanes ...
A brisk, breezy spring day and out on the bike. When that stiff north-westerly hits you it certainly removes all the cobwebs! But the sun is grand and there are hints of spring around.
The Grade 2 Listed Dob Park bridge, a high arch over the River Washburn, sits next to a deceptivly 'shallow' ford! It dates to the early 17th Century.

One of the great joys of cycling up the steep slopes of the Pennines and Dales is - not just the ride back down but the scenery of the uplands and particularly the vast skies you get on these sort of sunny, windy days then the clouds scoot harmlessly by.
Those of us who can need to make the most of such spring sunshine and for me it has been out and about on the road bike, in fresh air and spring sunshine on our local Yorkshire lanes.
I took a walk this afternoon because I saw a tree with two big pileated woodpecker holes in it when I was driving by the other day and I wanted to take a photo of it! While I was there I looked around and this is what I saw, it was way too beautiful not to share, the sky was such a deep blue and I like the trees surrounding the scene and the snow with the shadows!
