#365daysofbiking Down from above:
Saturday 26th February 2022 - Over to Pickle.
A very unexpected 84 miles. 'We rode out through Burntwood, Shute Hill, Longdon, Armitage, The Ridwares, Rowley Park, Hoar Cross, Newborough, Buttermilk Hill, Uttoxeter, Doveridge, Waldley, Roston, Norbury, Ellastone, Wooton and my happy place, the Weaver Hills.Β
It was very cold up on the hills: The bike computer recorded it as just 3 degrees at sunset. We came over Raddlepits, Cauldon Low, Threelows, Oakamoor, Red Road, Alton - the temperature was back up to 7 here! Crakemarsh, back through Uttoxeter, Willslock, Β and down the main road through Bagot Forest, Abbots Bromley, Blithbury, Handsacre, Hanch, Stoneywell and Hammerwich.
There were lots of flowers but sadly I didn't get the one I wanted: We did see some spring lambs but they were too far away to photograph.
Bob had a bit of a grim tum with cramps - but he never complained and we managed 14mph average which is great for pretty much the first good long ride of the year.
