Tuesday 19th January 2021 - New Bike
My new bike finally arrived. This is very different because it has an electric motor built into the rear hub. This is a challenging route for me would not have been possible without assitance from the motor. 20 miles with 2300 feet of ascent. Even with the motor on the very steep hills you are still working hard. It's my intention to use the motor very sparingly - almost as a set of extra low gears - I'm still wanting to get a good workout.
My route took me through Charlton Abbots, Roel Gate, Guiting Power Kineton, Temple Guiting and Hailes. A dull and windy day. These photos were taken with my phone.

I love the way the mist and fog a degree of mysteriousness to an ordinary scene.

Wednesday 30th December 2020 Bike Ride through Cotswold Villages
My last ride of the year. 31 miles today from Winchccommbe and through Didcote, Stanway, Stanton, Laverton, Buckland, Broadway, Childswickham, Sedgeberrow, Alderton and Gretton. These are some of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds.
After a break of 6 years I started cycling again during the first lockdown. 5 mile circuits at first then slowly increasing the distance, My longest ride so far is 35 miles. Just over 1500 miles since I started and just over 30,000 feet of ascent.
