Adrian McEwenThe Cheshire lanes make for excellent riding.Had a lovely 42 mile (74km) ride with some mates yesterday.

Adrian McEwenTook advantage of the bank holiday for an earlier <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/FolkRidingBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FolkRidingBikes</a> ride, and we got a bit further afield too.Rode up to the top of Clieve Hill just outside Aughton and back, via a brief stop in a 705 year old pub.<a href="https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/bike-routes_491983#12/53.4805/-3.0006" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/bike-routes_491983#12/53.4805/-3.0006</a><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Lancashire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lancashire</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Liverpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Liverpool</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Ormskirk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ormskirk</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/InTheSaddle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InTheSaddle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

Couldn't hear their roars for the roar of traffic on the East Lancs a couple of metres behind me as I took that.(It's the edge of Lord Derby's estate, home to Knowsley Safari Park)<a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Knowsley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Knowsley</a>

Adrian McEwenLeaning my bike against a remnant of the old platform for the Skem to St. Helens line.

Adrian McEwenNice 40 mile round trip, out up the coast and back through the countryside of the Lancashire plain.And one perk of muleing stuff for <a href="https://does.social/@Styles" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Styles</a> on last night's ride is that when she forgets it at the end of the night you end up with some awesome Cycle Shorts zines you can read over lunch before you give them back 😀 <a href="https://cycleshorts.bigcartel.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cycleshorts.bigcartel.com/</a><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/InTheSaddle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InTheSaddle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Formby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Formby</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Crosby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crosby</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/zine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zine</a>

Adrian McEwenClear skies on last night's <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/JoyRide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JoyRide</a> meant it was a little chilly down on the river but meant we could do a little star- and planet-gazing too.Got a bit of a workout on the front-loader delivery bike with soundsystem as I chased the electric lead soundsystem bike to stay in range of the transmitter up hills and round corners.<a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Liverpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Liverpool</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/InTheSaddle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InTheSaddle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/NightRider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NightRider</a>

Adrian McEwenFriday's <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/FolkRidingBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FolkRidingBikes</a> group social ride was just what I needed after a hard week; riding through the city playing tunes with a bunch of your mates is joyous!Sadly I didn't have my camera with me, so didn't get the shot as we rode past the Liver Building where one of the couple of lads we'd collected en route passed me riding along a low wall while pulling a wheelie.This photo is one my mate John Harris took, as we rode through Sefton Park<a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Liverpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Liverpool</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/InTheSaddle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InTheSaddle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/NightRider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NightRider</a>

Adrian McEwenAnother ride out for the Rode mic soundsystem extender last night.

Adrian McEwenHad to dig a shard of glass out of the back tyre on the way home.The windswept East Lancs isn't the *best* place to do repairs, but at least it was dry and not half-a-mile further on when I'd have been next to a freshly manured field 🤣 <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Liverpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Liverpool</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/InTheSaddle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InTheSaddle</a>
