Smooth as butter tarmac descent after tough but very enjoyable day on the bike. Headed out at 4.30am. Bloody freezing in shorts!

Stupendous mostly off-road route, and no rain. Photography took ages. Lots of setting up and breaking down to do. Hopefully pix are worth it, especially the drone ones. Will check that soon.

May also do the rant I promised — photos don’t load last night.
