And breathe. Turning my pedals; calming my mind. Good to get up in the hills at the end of a few challenging weeks 🚴

A beautiful day for another cracking ride. The skylarks were out in force at the top of the hill before dropping down to Llanfihangel y Creuddyn. The black dot at the bottom of the grey photo is actually the first skylark I have ever managed to catch on camera, I can usually hear them but not see them, but he was being very shouty just above my head when I stopped for a snack 😊 Perfect day out in the gorgeous Cambrian mountains.
