I am in Manchester for a conference, but had the day off today, so I took the Brompton out for a ride in the Peak District.
I was already out in the Peak District with the Brompton last year (a strange coincidence has led me three times to the North of England within a year), but last time riding out from Sheffield.
I had a cool route planned, but turns out even this rainy country is plagued by wildfires and I had to reroute significantly because there were bridleways closed due to a still smoldering peat fire. I ended up not getting as deep into the Peak District as I wanted, instead pushing my bike up some steep walking paths and being stung by a thousand nettles.
But it was still nice, I got to enjoy a day in the wind and weather, soaking in the colors of this region. Plus, I ended up riding back into Manchester along the Peak Forest Canal, which is just a mind-boggling edifice. An absolute wonder of the industrial era.#cyling #peakdistrict #peakdistrictfire #brompton #bromptongline

Reservoir based wind speed indicator reads 0 on the beaufort scale.
Lovely evening for a ride, only slightly spoilt by lots of flies.

Evening sun for a ride.

@Janet_52square Oh! So is that what "Whinstone Lee Tor" in the #PeakDistrict means? It's a gritstone area but I guess there could be a basalt outcropping

Very warm ride last night, well above my optimal operating temperature. Considerably cooler under trees than in the direct sun.

It's pretty amazing to me that I now live in a place where a view like this is just a normal part of walking home from the supermarket.

Not sure what was going on on Wednesday evening, but the roads around here were enjoyably quiet for cycling.
