I led the ride for last night's #JoyRide, a short one so we had plenty of time for my mate Asia to take us forest bathing.
An hour of lightly-guided mindfulness and communing with the trees, water and birds in the Everton Nature Garden.
Rounded off with us drifting back to the fire for a cup of tea and reflection on the evening. Was happy to see the bats out again too, they'd been a highlight of the session we did last year.
This #selfie is proof that we were there rather than a decent photo of the #FolkRidingBikes or the glorious avenue of cherry blossom in Liverpool Botanic Gardens.
Glad that I thought it was worth a chance to take last night's ride through there.
Impromptu #InTheSaddle to Aintree and back to get a new laptop charger.
Still, got to see the Welsh hills (just about)
As seems to be becoming tradition, the #FolkRidingBikes had a Good Friday ride round the Wirral coast to West Kirby for fish and chips.
It looks nice in the photo but there was an ridiculous headwind all the way. However, that made the night ride back a dream
And while I'm catching up on posting photos, on Friday the #FolkRidingBikes had a trip over the water to the Wirral.
The ferry had just been taken out of service with engine trouble, but the captain generously gave us a lift for free as they limped back to Seacombe.
Surprisingly cold this evening, but dry while we were riding
It was very windy last night, but we managed to tack through the city using it to our advantage.
Managed to dodge most of the head winds on last night's #FolkRidingBikes ride.
Was lovely to have @pete join us, and not just because he lent me an inner-tube when I picked up a puncture ๐คฃ
