More like a jungle ride then a gravel ride today! Recent rainy weather meant that a number of our paths were so overgrown we really did need a machete 😂😂 Fortunately I made the decision to wear long trousers today which was wise in hindsight as I managed to avoid the stinging nettles which my pals in shorts sadly did not. Did spot some stunning laburnum on way home though.
