Having watched my weather app since returning from a rain drenched Lakeland ride at the weekend ..I knew today was going to be good ..and so it turned out .
Billy no mates today ..but what a day to be out on a bike in the hills ..
Shortly after starting the climb up Clennell Street to the Border Ridge at Hazely Law ..looking back .I had already had 45mins of climbing under my belt ...

And it just goes on and on ....
Looking back again
And still up !
Eventually ..the border ..England this side of the fence ..Scotland the other
Staying on the English side ..flagstone trails ..miles of the stuff at various points ..all airlifted in
Although the view into Scotland sure was pretty !
High point of the day ..Windy Gyle 610m
Then it was down on a really disappointing track over Little Ward Law ..there are better options ..
But by the time I had crossed Barrow Law and had a cracking descent to the farmhouse tearoom at Barrowburn ...all was well with the world again
Another stiff climb before a drop to Fairhaugh
Where totally out of the blue I met this fine looking fella and his mate ..dont know who was more surprised!!
Ant's machine on the hill ( apparently they do work ..sometimes !lol)
All that was left was the fantastic bridleway down the Uswayburn and back to the car at Shilmoor...
What a day ...just wish I'd had some of my riding buddies to share it with !
