An interesting insight into your training routine. Incidentally, what iscyour VO² Max . Mine seems to be 34 at 68 years old. It used to be low 40's in my 50's. !ALIVE

I know! We're being taken over by them. 😆

Those bushes look very much like azaleas which are in full bloom around here too. Very nice, and lush looking. A fascinating place to visit.

Yes, exactly, it would have been a long detour and a lot of road riding which I don't like at all.

It was great to get back out there on longer rides. It is amazing how the track conditions change over the seasons. Thanks for the comment and curation. !ALIVE

Your last picture of the ducklings trying to keep up with their parent is a real treat. 🤣

Cycling to work....in the rain! 😲. A double wammy! However, the weekend is a different story. !ALIVE

My pleasure as always! Another biking adventure coming up! 😁 !ALIVE

Thats too bad! 😒

Its a really pungent aroma, especially when the whole wood is covered with a carpet of it! I'm off on my mountain bike tomorrow into the countryside. I'll get some pictures of a similar woodland scene

Thanks @silvertop . Yes, that was a great opportunity and entertaining too. 😁

Are those white flowers garlic or something else? Looks familiar but it's difficult to see enough detail. Nice pictures of your walk in the woods.

More to come! 😁

They are indeed! Still waiting for the cutest of all though. Keeping us on the edge of our seats! !ALIVE

Well isn't that just typical of the weather, but as the jet streams seem to travel west to east, maybe the uk will get some of that sunshine eventually! 🤣

I'll keep that a secret! 😉

We have eight bank holiday days in the UK. There are two in May. The first one is known as Early May bank holiday and is the first monday in the month. Thanks for the reply. !ALIVE

Love the cat. They can be so funny. !ALIVE
