Commuting ride on the old Arrow. https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/3193680025

A fine sunny ride home from work. The ride in this morning was spectacular. Half an hour in, the sun peeped above Rivington hill as it rose. For me, sunrise was a little late because of the height of the hill. I rode along quiet tracks and roads across peaty farmland. Soon the brightness would be a nuisance as I neared work.

Southport is home to large flocks of geese and ducks. They overwinter here in huge numbers and fly a daily commute. I admire them. The town’s dogs bark at them. The barking sweeps over urban areas in waves following the birds.
