Ignoring today's rain yesterday was a lovely sunny day round here with just a bit of a breeze.
Went out with Elinor (2y3m) in the trailer for an afternoon ride, tootled off along the back of the
Chevin then down into Otley for lunch
- bought the first lot of English Strawberries of the year - we had about half each - in comparison
to our sizes Elinor must have been well stuffed- though she did give Daddy the big ones
The strawberries were very yummy, but I'm sure the fact that a bit of cycling had been done made
them even yummier.
As anyone familiar without he area will know the only problem left is the climb backup out of Otley
towards Leeds. The main road is mostly straight and seems to on up and up for ever. Heading east
though Pool and then climbing back up is my preferred option, but a couple of 1 in 7's (or more)
with 25kg +of kiddie and trailer ain't fun - and even pushing isn't easy.
But we did a nice 30 miles, which is about as much as we've ever done , and then had fresh local
Asparagus for tea.
Sometime life is just right
