I've enjoyed quite a few rides this summer, mostly with the Kidderminster Advanced Bikers on regular free ride Sunday's into Herefordshire (the Honey Cafe) and across the border into Wales to the bikers cafe at Crossgates. One night after work myself and Tim had a pleasant ride to one of the Cotswold bike meets at the Lower Lode Inn, Tewkesbury. A great charity event in aid of Air Ambulance and some real classics on display. Tim had just taken delivery of his new Royal Enfield Himalayan and was enjoying running in keen to seek out as many lanes between work and the pub, we must have crossed the M5 half a dozen times as we snaked down narrow lanes on the way.
Later in the month myself and Rob arranged a fun Sunday run around the lanes in Herefordshire skirting around the Brecons and on to Abergavenny before returning back near Hay on Wye. An enjoyable route I'd ridden many times before, but not for a few years stopping at Skenfrith Castle, then on through Pontrilas to ride some of those narrow lanes looping back around via the A479 and Bronllys. Unfortunately I didn't take many pics on this one, we were both happy to keep riding along some memorable roads on the B4521 (the Old Ross Road). Great scenery to look at on the way, so look forward to the next ride as we must try and fit in another one as Autumn approaches. Always good to ride these parts when the leaves turn a golden brown.
