BIKE VIDEO THRD

Got myself a mountain bike at Christmas. Took it down to Sussex to ride on the South Downs last weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1db2b4Q29U0

Oh that field of yellow flowers is cheering. Good to see. Trees aren't really even out yet here, and the fields are still pretty brown. It was a long winter and now a cool cool spring. Actually shaded roads over 2500m had small and shrinking dirty snow banks in a few places.

I did a short lap mtn lap today with lot of flat paved and dirt on my run in and run out. While I'm fatigued now, it didn't really satisfy. I am trying to just meet set time requirements and do rides.

Oooh, I forgot-- on a long ride up the foothills yesterday all the froggies were croaking so loudly 200m away in the wetlands from 2200m to 2500m, even though the reeds have little green yet. I think northern leopard frogs, but maybe chorus frogs. They reeds are just the skeletal tan remains of last year's growth. I almost stopped to walk down to them to record them. They're in there, though nightly temps up there are like 3 to 5 deg C. Daytime it's been like 15 to 20 but the sun here is v powerful/warm. It often goes from freeeeezing to blazing here very suddenly in May though.

cool video, lovely weather. ah I miss my mountain biking days.

Another one, this time in the Peak District last weekend (road bike this time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoggxPDLh8U
