Lark Ride to Aqueduct Marina
One of my longest rides of the year at 71 miles (I am trying to forget my two loops of the Three Loops, when I nearly lost my loop).
What can I say? No punctures, nice clean café as always, vegan cakes available (but I was full up with my Mexican brown beans in tomato compote), delightful companions, fun to go a bit faster on the way out, no rain.
This is what (my) Saturdays are all about. You can keep the Trafford Centre and mowing the lawn, thank you very much. Give me two wheels and an open road and I care not who writes the nation’s laws.
