Family, schedules and weather have kept me off the bike for nearly a month, but today I got in a 14 mile ramble on the Mercian fixed-gear, so all is well with the world. This time I grabbed a snap...

Temps reached 71 so I took the Mercian for a ramble over 27 miles. I ran into a couple of riders out on the road and joined them for several miles before splitting off for the ride home.
