Still buzzing after last night's social group ride.

We headed North through Everton, with a brief pause to check out the new #PelotonLiv mini-roads practice/play road network.

Last night was a lovely evening for a group ride. We took in Everton Brow (the view at the start of the video), then Stanley Park, Anfield Cemetery and Walton Hall Park.

The kissing gates in Walton Hall Park, as ever, are a bit more of a challenge for getting a group through 😀

Then along the Loop Line to Broadgreen, and back into town via the Mystery.

Slightly damp but fun 22 mile circuit round South Liverpool.

Took in Camp Hill and bumped (not literally) into Queen Victoria moored at the Pier Head.

Took a slightly different route for today's #InTheSaddle ride. The North Western Hotel looking pretty in the sun.

Had a sudden urge to get out for a ride. So I gave into it.

I almost always have a pannier with some level of stuff in it on the bike. Unencumbered, the gravel bike feels so alive and fast.

Last night's #FolkRidingBikes group social #InTheSaddle ride split into two rides.

We headed North, through Newsham Park, along the loop line to Walton Hall Park and back through Anfield Cemetery, Stanley Park and over Everton Brow to Sefton Park.

We got there just in time to welcome the women-only ride, led by @Styles, who'd done a circuit in the South.

Then we got to watch Freedom Machine, after some top vegan curry.

Our #FolkRidingBikes group #InTheSaddle ride from Chester to Birkenhead ended up being a little damp 🤣

Lovely route though, and still excellent fun. Chippy stop at Parkgate and the bike-powered gig at #FutureYard was great.

(I accidentally left the GoPro recording, so drained the battery quite early on) here's some video from it:

Had a lovely group #InTheSaddle last night, round the parks of South Liverpool, winding up at the Artefact bar in town where some of our mates were on the decks playing tunes.

You do get a good view from the top of Everton Brow.

From Friday's group #InTheSaddle #FolkRidingBikes ride, recceing a route for the women's ride to the Wimin Festival (https://www.wiminfestival.com/) next weekend.

Braved the rain (and missed the worst of it) for a cross-country ride to Rainford Junction for the Summer Strum ukulele festival - our mate was playing in one of the bands

Passed the Rotunda on tonight's #InTheSaddle ride

We had a lovely group #InTheSaddle ride last night - out through the Mystery to Broad Green; onto the Loop Line heading North to Rice Lane rec; then over to Bootle for a brief refreshment at the Lock and Quay; then back along the Leeds-Liverpool canal.

Superb group #InTheSaddle #FolkRidingBikes this evening.

We caught the ferry over to Seacombe; had a brief stop at the Ferry inn while waiting for stragglers; then a ride round the Wirral coast to West Kirby.

Pizza and a pint at the West Kirby Tap; then a ride back all the way to Liverpool.

There was one other person in the Mersey Tunnel when we rode through it - the policeman escorting us (it's closed to cars while they're upgrading the lighting)

Tonight, a loop the other way along the river.

On Saturday I had a trip to Windle and back.

Have been getting back into the habit of solo #InTheSaddle rides the past week or so, but have stayed out of the habit of posting the photos from them. Excuse me while I rectify that 😀

Pink caps on parade! Last night the #PelotonLiv #JoyRide wound through the Dingle and Lark Lane over to Sefton Park and a secret gig outside the cricket pavilion.

Lovely 40 mile #InTheSaddle ride up to Ainsdale and back.

Managed not to get run over by a cruise ship, despite appearances in the photo.

And a less idyllic clip from Monday's #InTheSaddle ride, which took me through the docks in Bootle

The downside of having a new camera to play with—particularly one that requires a Windows PC to do the editing—is that it takes a while to get videos processed.

Here's a bit of my ride home on Sunday, on the deserted country roads from Bickerstaffe over towards the Hen and Chickens
