Yesterday's ride. I hadn't intended it to have such a watery theme, but perhaps the clues were there right from the start...
River Rea - the bit where the small kids like to paddle:
Watery Lane. Often places are named for good reason...
The ford of the Rea at The Mill Walk.
Often places are named for good reason... (I got off and walked!)
I spent a few minutes chatting with another woman, speculating on where the flotsam had come from. My chief suspect was one of the beefy fighter dogs the locals seem to favour.
The River Cole was also quite full:
...which was fine until the adjacent cycle route also became quite full!
This ford usually attracts a few spectators, but someone had decided enough's enough.
