Monsal Trail photos : 21-Apr-2014
Today Mark and myself set off to the Monsal Trail yet again! This time we parked at (Topley Pike layby on the A6) then walked down 1 in 5 hill to the start/end of the Monsal Trail at Wyedale. We then walked a good 7 miles to the Headstone Viaduct. Which of course did meant we had to walk the whole way back again! We did really notice that 1 in 5 whole walking back up to to the car!

Holwell Reservoir photos : 14-04-2014
Not often, I am out cycling and something makes me stop and say “WOW what is the hell is that??” Well today, I found one of them places. Can’t really tell you think about it. Looked all over google. All that I can tell you, it’s called “Holwell Reservoir” also searching for “Holwell Works” and “Holwell Works Pumping House” will find some information, but mainly just photos that others have taken.

Great day out in London : 10/04/2014
I had so much fun in London today! Here are some photos I took.
My favourite is the one of Tower Bridge. Here is what someone said about it on twitter “Who put that building there? It’s stopping the bridge from closing”. I had not even noticed that, till I read the comment! Would love to say I planned the photo, to come out like that. But no, it just sort of happened!
Oh and I have also tick off another three London Underground stations that I have used! I added Brixton, Clapham North and Monument to the list. The full list can be found at www.gordon-valentine.com/travel/railways/uk-national-rail-network/.

Old Dalby Test Track photos : 08-04-2014
Driven past the Old Dalby Test Track so many times! But never before stopped and had a look. Since I was on my bike, made the most of it. I had a look at a very small section of the line between Saxelby Village (bridge 52) and Saxelby tunnel.

Cycling photos : 28-03-2014
Here are two photos from today’s very short 25.67 mile pre-work cycle. Yep I am out wearing my USPS cycling gear again! At least it looks like summer is on the way. So I can start wearing other gear very soon indeed :).
Had my USPS cycling gear since 2005!
Here are two photos of myself wearing my sexy USPS cycling gear. Just had a look, had the jersey since 26th March 2005 and the bib shorts since the 7 April 2005. The top is still looking very good, the shorts are starting to show there age. Need to wear underwear or tights under them. If I don’t show off a lot more, than I really want to!!
