Resting Osgar the Orro after the 7.8km climb of Long Hill, then the easier route home via the track by Fernlee reservoir. #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRideI #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes

Not the whole ride, as planned. At the top of Long Hill, where I'd lost the rest of the lads who went south, I dropped down to Errwood reservoir (BLOODY FAST DESCENT!) then picked up the trail by another reservoir. A roller coaster ride home in time to help Mrs C with jobs! #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRideI #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #BikeTooter #BikeToot #LongHill #GoytValley

Stunning day for a spin! 🚴‍♂️ Nipped out after work yesterday. Windows like this are exactly why we climb. If you look closely above the valley, you can just about see the top of Hartshead Pike.#Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRideI #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Mossley #HartsheadPike

Ah, the classic "I swear I'm exercising and not just stopping to look at pretty trees" perspective. 🚴‍♂️🌲
Sunlight filtering through the canopy, a crisp paved trail ahead, and absolutely no traffic in sight. If only every Tuesday morning felt like a smooth, shaded coast through the woods. Why can't every week be half term??? (Though my bike computer is currently judging my speed, let's just focus on the scenery, shall we?) #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRideI #BikeTooter #BikeToot

I've been taking advantage of the dry, sunny weather the last few days by taking Naomhan off road. Another bonus is the trees on these tracks are good windbreakers. #BikeToot #BikeTooter #titanium #ti #cycling #Gravel #GravelBike #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRide

Hört hier noch jemand den #outsideisfree Podcast? Das war doch nicht schon immer so eine Dauerwerbesendung, oder habe ich das falsch im Kopf?

First proper #gravel ride of 2026, seen here on the path in #ReddishVale. This starts as mud, then gravel, over field run-off drains, then bricks and stones before mud and dirt and then a few cobbles. Great fun. Always great to be back on the #NorthRoadCycles #GraviTi . #cycling #GravelRide #VeganCyclist #OutsideIsFree #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Bicycle
