Bike Collection

Jumped on the train to Newbury to pick up the bike.

New rear hub (really, that first one didn't last long), a service and a clean up.

Then a ride back cross-country, via by-way, bridleway, cycleway and the odd bit of paved road.

Back home slightly less clean than when we started.

Pen-Y-Fan Sunrise

Up early. Early? More like up late since I don't think there was two much sleep before 02:30. For a little amble up to Pen-Y-Fan for sunrise (05:31 according to the Met Office).

We we up on Corn Du for 05:18 and the boys decided a "swift jog" over to Pen-Y-Fan for the moment was entirely doable. Slightly gutted that their pace from summit to summit was substantially brisker than my 5k pace on the flat 🤔

Setting off with nothing but stars, some moon, and the occasional strobe of F's head torch was a little magical.

Camping and wood-fired pizza at the always great Pencelli was fantastic, especially a few hours kip in my awesome Bivvy 🤩

And some not bad low-light captures from this Fuji sensor 📷.
