#cyclepath
We had a #cycletrip to #BudleighSalterton today, which is a nice round trip of 48 km. It was a very pleasant day, not too hot and with a refreshing breeze to keep you cool. Those of you in the know will be glad that I wore short trousers and so my pump could not get stuck in my trouser leg.
The #beach is made up of pebbles of various sizes ranging from the size of your hand (15-20 cm) down to less than a centimetre. The colours vary from #purple and #pink to #grey and #blue. Here's a typical assortment.
Looking out to #sea (the #EnglishChannel), you can see that the water is various colours too ranging from marine #blue and #green to #brown near the #shore where #sediment gets churned up. (Note, it is nothing to do with the current notorious practices of private water companies.)
Looking #west and #east respectively, you can see the #sandstone and #mudstone #geology of the #cliffs
Right up by the #sea, you can sea the small #waves lapping the #shore. I suppose this #photograph is technically a #selfie.
Finally, on the way home, I took a picture of the #cyclepath between BudleighSalterton and #Exmouth which stretches about 6 km and avoids motor traffic altogether. I can't think of many more pleasant routes to #cycle on.

First day of #Winter and a couple of km from home, I rode over some twigs on the #CyclePath and suddenly I head a slap-slap-slap coming from the front #wheel. Looking down I saw on of them had become embedded in the #tyre. I hoped that the thorns from it hadn't #punctured the #InnerTube but a few hundred metres further down, I knew it had deflated and I had to walk the rest of the home. So, another chore for me to do. Ho hum.
A #WarmFront went through just before today's #bike ride and just following the heavy downpour, a moderately steep #cyclepath became a temporary #stream. It was fun #cycling up that slope against both gravity and the flow.
