My route home tonight featured a spooky plum tunnel!

It is late at night, dark and illuminated only by head torch. A country footpath runs between, and beneath, plum trees. In torchlight, it looks like a mine shaft! The trees are well set with fruit, though less bountiful than is the norm. The exceptionally dry summer is evident in the dusty earth, and parched undergrowth.

Oooh baby, do you know what that’s worth? They say Devon is a place on earth!

A view across the beach, to the sea. The fore is dominated by the red sand typical of south Devon, a cockle shel, the inside painted with flowers, lies on the sand. In the distance Ness Head rises from the sea.

Anyone else explore a creepy, abandoned, Cold War bunker this weekend?

Why would anyone choose to cycle in a gym? Most of us have green space nearby, often closer the the gym! Go explore it.

A view across open pasture, flood plains for the nearby river. The setting sun is low, orange and still incredibly hot.

A view across a field of corn, the setting sun, in a clear sky, is nearly touching the horizon. To the right a rough dirt footpath that tonight serves as a cycle path, propelling the rider towards the setting sun.

Upgraded the beast to bigly rubber this weekend. Wish I’d done it sooner! Easy suspension upgrade, rides great👌 #newTyreDay #bikeLife #fairlight #gravel #bicycle #steelIsReal

The fork of gravel bike, fitted with Manything cages and Hope wheels sporting new Continental Race King tyres; 29x2.2”.

This is the biggest tyre it’s possible to fit on this bike, a Fairlight Secan 3.0.

And, 30 seconds ago, this. Though I do feel bad as I separated a group, so they had to dash off in opposite directions. There was much sproinking

It’s just about cool enough to walk to the supermarket, at 20:40! It’s a lovely evening to be fair, if a little melty!

Got some new charcoal, the good shit. It smells great!

Large logs of charcoal stacked in a cardboard box. No shards, no dust, just logs.

There’s worse commutes I think. Afternoon rush hour and zero traffic on one of the fastest routes out of the city! Perfect. 👌 #bikesky #spring #gravel #adventure #commuting

The sun is descending in the sky, above a wide bend on a large river. The sun reflects off the river water. This is spring, the sun has returned! 🙌

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Overhead, branches of an ancient oak overhang a scene from a Jurassic coast. Headland after red, sandy, headland, jutting into a sea, and being eaten away with every tide.

In this place, the sea is winning the war against the land.

Personally a huge MSR fan, but I recently saw the bike packing specific Big Agnes tent around 1/2 price, which makes it a great option, IMHO.

Gotta have the spares in stock, just in case! I’m riding a Secan 3, I was sorely tempted by the Faran.

A pearlescent blue gravel bike leans against a bench, standing in a field of short grass, overlooking a large river. The setting sun’s lights illuminates the scene. The far bank of the river features a low bluff, with a handful of bare trees. It is winter, in England.

Finally found a break in the rain long enough to get out on the bike! Cold, but fun!

I hate this weather! It’s pissing down outside. I just want to get out and ride!!

A blue gravel bike, with pannier rack, a single bag on the far side, two bottles in cages, and a pair of gloves hanging from the crossbar, leans against a guard rail for a towpath that runs alongside a large river. The bike stands in shadow of a railway bridge running overhead, across the river on a Victorian iron bridge.

The weather was a bit shit today, lots of rain, but that didn’t stop the #freedom machine!! #cycling saves lives.

The #Bicycle, the original Freedom machine! Health and mental benefits aside, this thing is incredibly efficient. I reckon 30-40km per Scotch Egg!!

Two steel gravel bikes, with racks and panniers lean against a steel gate at the side of a quiet country lane. In the background, but still dominating the scene, is a broad mature oak that is filtering and scattering light from the low afternoon sun.

Managed to get out on my bicycle today. Today was a good day.

An iridescent powder blue gravel bike, with King Cages on the forks, a blue hydroflask bottle in a cage on the down tube, and a blue pannier bag, on the drivetrain side, leans against a bench at the side of a large river, surrounded by a mix of open fields and woodland

At this time of year we’re literally overrun with wave after wave of undocumented migrants. Our fields, our rivers, the skies!! It’s as if they just don’t care about our ‘sacred sovereignty’!

Hundreds of migratory birds find a nights refuge, floating in the calm water at a bend of the river Trent, as dusk falls.

A large flock of migratory birds are clustered along a narrow sandy shoreline of a large river, the safest place they can find to catch some sleep.

First day of not riding in a week, after bike packing in The Netherlands, and I can’t wait to do it again!! The new Secan rode like a dream. Very happy with my choice of bike!

I’ve never understood why anyone would go to a gym to ride a bike! Amid every city, every neighbourhood, there are places of beauty and tranquility…
