Sunday Leith Hill ride

Today’s ride around Leith Hill was a surprisingly dry happening, considering all the rain we’ve had recently. Any mud left from the rain was frozen after last night’s frost and I even saw a few dust clouds whip up in the chilly wind. The sun provided stunning dawn till dusk cloud-free coverage. I usually stick to local rides with the Swift but the Paragon was being cleaned and readied for selling. The ride took less than an hour but I cut out a few bits like the lower section of Summer Lightning because it feels less and less suitable for a rigid bike every time I go down there. Possibly due to the slightly shorter ride I arrived back at the Tower for a tea and cake stop in time to finally meet a few of the Muddymoles before they headed off home. In particular Dave, a fellow 29er rider with an Intense Spider, now converted to 1x9. I've taken quite a few photos of the sun and none have ever come out looking as spectacular as this one...
