Memorials and sculptures on an ebike round from Langholm via Tarras Valley and the Debatable Land. Hen harriers, merlin and even a rare sighting of the tailwind. Good descents too...
Furness-tastic day on the ebikes twixt Ulverston and Barrow on the #BayCycleWay . Saw a little owl too... #CyclingMorecambeBay
Delightful ecycling along @SustransScot #NCN1 by the Moray Firth. No skinks were harmed by our lunch from Cullen Co-op...

Delightful Dales day on the ebikes: blue skies; skylarks; limestone; water avens; memory's lanes; the rush of wind; globe flowers; curlews at lunchtime; a village cricket match; early purple orchids...even heard a wood warbler!

Customer this morning: “I would like to hire some bikes and buy some knitting needles”. How many shops can satisfy this request? #isleofbarra #outerhebrides #communityshops @OuterHebs

An oystercatcher loving the machair in bloom!
The machair (coastal grassland that hugs the beach) is a haven for wildlife. In the summer it's covered in assorted wildflowers and it's simply an amazing place to see and walk through!

Cycling in the rain… an intoxicating mixture of woodland scent, delicate raindrops and the satisfying sound of whirring tyres on wet tarmac! 🚴♀️🌨😃 @CumbriaWeather @onLoughrigg @JanPikelet @FeatureCumbria @liziwake #steppingstones

I never met her, and never finished reading Full Tilt, but the fact that "that Irish lady rode her bike alone across continents" was an enormous inspiration to me when I first started cycle touring. So I find myself having a bit of a cry at the death of Dervla Murphy.

They say you shouldn’t meet your heroes but in this case they couldn’t have been more wrong. Dervla Murphy listened with a super human curiosity and challenged any whisper of inequality with razor sharp wit and well informed arguments. A true inspiration. irishtimes.com/culture/books… – at Aboyne, Scotland

The #CaledoniaWay's a cracker of a route...
A lovely spot to wait for the ferry... Another update from Lesley!
"Bright & cold, with a bitter north wind. Route 78 fantastic on old railway line & beautiful woods & nature reserve. How quickly things change from sunshine to blizzard! Thanks to @Sustrans for a great route."
Finally checked out the "new" section of #CaledoniaWay near Duror: smooth tarmac, the "world's largest bug hotel" and lots of Lobarion on the trees. Well done @SustransScot: much nicer than the busy road!
The Butt of Lewis. End of the @Hebridean_Way cycling route. Supposedly Britain's windiest spot but calm and sunny today...seabirds aplenty and was that a lost black redstart at the lighthouse?
