Gawthorpe Ossett to Briestfield Dewsbury 13 miles approx, beautiful day! A car driver rolled down his window pointing out that we were all over the road, but we are constantly avoided potholes and cracks in the road, he was polite though, I do block where traffic islands are so people cant get through, because I was nearly knocked off by a pillok pushing between me and one of them.

Cracking ride, once you got away from the busier roads! Some flipping hills there though – 20%… that's… hang on… bear with… that's 1 in 5, and Rich rode up them all didn't he?
Love that water tower at the start, seen it before on your videos I think, but it is quite an attractive looking one, unlike some that you see.
Given the state of the roads up your way cars ought to expect cyclists to be weaving around pot holes all the time, but I guess if they've never ridden a bike, or a motorbike, it won't even occur to them what you're doing. You do right blocking traffic when approaching traffic islands too 👍
Is your bum still giving you trouble? 😲 It looked like you were standing up a few times towards the end there! Get some padded cycling shorts and wear them under your normal riding trousers, that would help a bit.
Great stuff Julia, hope you're all well! 👍
Edit – I keep ressing the thumbs up button to like the video but it doesn't seem to want to count it. Bleddy computers…
Great timing Jules 🙂 Need a virtual bike ride 🫶🏻 I bought a two-wheeler bike but sciatica is triggered and worsened by it so I’m going to have to sell it. Been introduced to recumbant trikes by Wiltshire Man Channel. You can get electric ones, but I’m getting one to build my fitness and get me out of the house. I’m going mental stuck indoors 🤪🤭✨
