Another pre-breakfast, hour long "commute" on the local gravel paths. I encountered another fallen tree, both are within metres of each other. It was great fun in the rain and the dirt. I've not had mucky legs for a while! #cycling #GravelBike #titanium #NorthRoadCycles #GravITi #NineToes

Spotted this lovely fella while I was weeding, earlier. It appears to be(e) a male Hairy-footed Flower Bee. He was quite happy buzzing around while I was pulling up horsetails. #bee #HairyFootedFlowetBee

July 16th, in Chipiona, is Virgen del Carmen day, the patron saint of sailors. We stopped for lunch in (what we call) the "blue square" (actually the Parroquia De Nuestra Señora De La O) and walked back via one of the prettily decorated streets. #Chipiona #VirgenDelCarmen #July16th

Today was the #DukinfieldCC inaugural Bob Ingham Memorial ride. Lots of off-road around Cheshire. Great company and a fantastic route. So much fun. #cycling #GravelRide #OutsideIsFree #alpacas

Quality ride with the club today, taking in local climbs and super fast descents. We stopped for coffee and was visited by a very tame robin. Such a poser, stood there for minutes letting us take photos! #cycling #robin #OutsideIsFree #VeganCyclist #DukinfieldCyclistsClub

Top gravel ride today with #DukinfieldCC. Canal to #HollingworthLake then the rocky trails east of there to #Denshaw. Some road to #Uppermill then the canal again all the way home on my @northroadcycles.bsky.social Gravel-i-Ti. #cycling #GravelCycling #LoveCycling #VeganCyclist #NineToedCyclist

@thegingerwig.bsky.social Thanks for the goodies that came today, Anthony. Especially this, perfect for a pint of the black stuff.

A superb solo Sunday 50km ride on the @northroadcycles.bsky.social Grav-i-Ti, out to Lyme Park, via the canal. Lots of wildlife, including a beautiful pair of Mandarin ducks. #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #NorthRoadCycles #GraviTi #PeakForestCanal #LymePark #MandarinDucks #gravel #GravelBike

Another 72km clocked up on the @northroadcycles.bsky.social Grav-i-Ti. A few hours with my mate, Paul, out beyond #Manchester airport. The ride stayed dry and the sun popped out for the last hour. Nice! #cycling #NorthRoadCycles #GraviTi #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #GravelBike #daffodils

After a short while, due the Ekar rear mech dying, the @northroadcycles.bsky.social Grav-i-Ti is back on - and off - the road. That was like riding a new bike. Amazing! #cycling #NorthRoadCycles #gravel #GravelRide #GravelBike #ReddishVale #FromWhereIRide #OutsideIsFree

Is this a queen? I know it's that time of year that they're active in the UK. This very sodden bee was resting below the trim of our sunroom after a very recent downpour. I thought it was mud until I inspected it closer. #bee #WetBee #QueenBee ?

Nipped out for an hour and managed 24km before the rain started on #Osgar the #Orro. A lovely tailwind from the turn at #Stockport. #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes

Back on the bike after nearly 5 weeks in Spain (no bikey there, unfortunately). Had to nip to @northroadcycles.bsky.social, in Sale Moor. Blimey, did i feel being out of the saddle for several weeks during that last 10km home! #cycling #VeganCyclist #PlantPoweredCyclist #Vegan #TPT #Orro

Last day in #Chipiona after "nursing" my Mum, who has now fully recovered from her recent op. This was last night, as we headed out for pizza. All the #Carnival lights are up, which starts next week, bummed I'm going to miss it, but I need to get back to freezing cold Blighty! #España

Today's walk took in the Playa de Camarón. Over 5km which is great for my buggered legs! #Chipiona #ChipionaWalks #Beach #Reflections #PalmTrees #WhiteChurch #PlayaDeCamarón

A lovely residential courtyard I passed on my way to the supermarket in Chipiona, Spain.

From Saturday, a Boeing C-17 Globemaster on its ascent after having just taken off from Rota Naval Base, heading directly over Chipiona. #C17Globemaster #C17 #Globemaster #Rota #Chipiona #AvGeek #AvGeekContent #USAAF #Pixel8Pro #PixelVideo #AvVideo

A lovely, breezy, Sunday morning walk around Chipiona. A few cafes just opening up for business and lots of locals enjoying the warm temperatures and fresh, sea air. #Chipiona #Crabs #BlueChurch #FaroDeChipiona #Lighthouse #TreeLinedBoulevard #SundayStroll

Like all the #Mogwai family, I'm really looking forward to listening to this, albeit digitally, as my vinyl version is being delivered in the UK while I'm in Spain looking after Mum! #TheBadFire #NewRecordReleaseDay #Vinyl #LP #Album @mogwai.scot

#TBT to when I finally picked up my 60th birthday present to myself in October '24 (12 months late!), a North Road Cycles Grav-i-Ti.

On Sunday I went to watch Chipiona C.F. play Racing Club Portuense in a midday kick off. The game ended up 1-1 and Chipiona with 10 men after having one player sent off. Still only 5 euro to get in, too!
