today's little jaunt off to the coast to see Andy Cap, route was the tried and well loved the wynyard cycle path which is part of ncn1...followed it till it picks up ncn14.. part of the Haswell to Hart cycleway, taking you into Hartlepool. then headed to the headland the wind was getting worse. found old Andy a quick pic and yhen headed for food+coffee. stopped at surfside ,was to late to get my fav sausage sarnie so it was coffee and toasted teacake and a piece of very yummy coconut cake.
route back home was via thorpe thewles - left at redmarshall to cross over the A66 for the longnewton road so as i could ride part of the ncn14 into Darlington sheltered from that gusty wind, but it was here the rain got me .... through Darlington all on cycle paths to pick up the back road to Walworth gate then on to Heighington and drop back into Aycliffe.
great ride longest for a while 70 miles .. and best of all most traffic free

Lovely.
What are those horses wearing? Rob e ?
Hi rome .... found this looks like a over coat 🤣🤣
  • Heavyweight turnout rug perfect for winter is truly a great option for keeping your horses warm during extremely chilled seasons. These rugs produce a lot of heat and thus your horses can stay comfortable without shivering in cold winds.
 
Double teaming the final harvest of the season. Farmers in Central Alberta have experienced phenomenal weather over the past few weeks which has enabled many of them to wait until the final days of September to reap the best crop yield in years.

The pond along with its surrounding trails are a natural oasis in the city and form part of the Waskasoo Park System. It’s also a habitat for water fowl all year round.

I was thinking how does one make a Horse 🐎 from full gallop to break/stop .
This photo shows two right legs, nose down, two left legs not touching the ground.

Sunday ride...

Totally lazy battery sucking North Surrey tour...



Under a train bridge...



Dive bar in a trailer park...





Fraser river underneath the Patullo bridge and the Skytrain bridge...







Amazing weather at 24/25C in October, and that is decidedly not normal! One wonders what winter will bring to Vancouver...
 
Went out today, Sunday, because the road crew isn't working and I can go inspect the progress. The chunky rip rap road base is extreme gravel but a FS bike with burly tires at a lowish psi smoothes it out.

Now that's gravel.jpg

Nice! Those are stellar conditions for October out there. We’re experiencing similar temps here though not as warm and hope that it remains relatively mild for the next couple of weeks. Still plenty of fall chores that require attention.

Today’s ride was awesome!

today when i woke up it suddenly came into my head that it was almost 20 years ago that Walter and i became friends sadly he is no longer here. so it was decided that i would do the ride that we first rode together.
headed over to Bishop Auckland down then up newton bank to pass through Toronto -High Grange-Fir Tree all along the A689 which was not as busy as usual and traffic was been nice. Wolsingham on to Stanhope where i left the A689 to pick up the quite road B6278 all the way to Daddry Shield then back on the A689 to ST Johns chapel which has a great cafe (the chatter box cafe) stopped for a bacon+egg sarnie and coffee, before the climb over chapel fell.
once up and over the top, dropped on to the road to Middleton-in-Teesdale through Eggleston-then left to Woodland -Ramshaw-West Auckland-shildon and then back along cycle track into Aycliffee . 70 miles and great memories

First and last jet boat salmon fishing was a riot. Seals out fished us. Old steamboat stone piers still exist here.
Seals will take fish off of a fisherman's line. One guy got pulled into the Willamette river a few years ago by one. There were quite a few seals up as far as Bonneville dam but I haven't seen any this year, not that I've been looking. Bonneville power admin used to hire Indian tribes to try to intimidate the seals with exploding shotgun shells but that didn't work, finally the WA governor, maybe OR also authorized killing of some seals to reduce salmon predation. I've had very large seals surface right next to my zodiac in the Columbia and once had to go fetch my golden retriever who decided to swim out from shore after one - I'm sure that wouldn't have gone well for her. BPA also pays for fishermen to catch pikeminnow, season for that ended Sept 30
here are how much the top 20 fishermen made this year (the tagged fish are worth $500 each)
