The weather this week has been like it should have been in the middle of Summer. Desperate not to waste the sunshine I set out for a cycle/walk down the Ouse to Bishopthorpe. The result was some archetypical views of an English country landscape.
A short cycle ride along the Ouse to welcome the Autumn. Summer has been largely absent from England this year so it was nice to have weather that was at least seasonable.
A cycle ride to Overton Bridge the starting point of "The Racetrack" the longest straight on the British rail network where new locos are speed tested. Nothing so exciting today just the traffic of a Summer's afternoon.
On the one really hot day in recent weeks I took a ride through the recently refurbished Solar System. The Sun was always far away and sure enough the nebulae thickened as the afternoon progressed and thunder rolled across the galaxy.
On the last day of July I took the Little Red Bicycle for a spin up York's version of the Amazon. There were monsters, strange dark paths and endless deserted grasslands.
