Turfing in and around Dewsbury. Janet was keen to go somewhere different so we drove to Mirfield and cycled from there. She headed north up the Spen Valley Greenway while I headed towards Ossett on the Calder and Hebble navigation. Then swapped over so we could retake each other's turfs. Beautiful day and consequently hundreds of people everywhere which made it slow going.
Into Holmfirth and back via Acre Lane. A proper run except for the turf induced pauses. Very happy to be back running so soon after last week's calf scare. Feeling fine now.
The bike shop tells me that my MTB needs major (Tiger Woods level) surgery and I may have to wait for them to source the parts. This made me wonder how much use it's had since I got it in October 2019:
Mileage is just over 2,200 miles. This compares with 3,500 for my old bike in nearly 6 years. Obviously 2020 has been a big mileage year for all sorts of reasons and I'm now reasonably happy to be spending some serious £££ on keeping the bike running smoothly. Edit: bill was £347 which will make philm64's eyes water ;-)

Yesterday was a joggy walk. Today was a walkie jog. Basically more jogging than walking today. Calf still ok. Loop of Holme Styes woods. Probably would have cycled had it not been so windy.

Joggy walk around Digley, Underhill and Moss Edge Farm. Calf fine with this. Actually out for 90 mins. Appreciating the spring-like weather and the fact that the ground has dried out considerably in the last few days.
