INspirational bit

 

Ride as much or as little, as long or as short as you feel. But ride

Eddy Merckx

 

You either love spinning the pedals and watching scenery whiz by, or you don’t. And if you love it, not much can sour you on the idea of riding your bike.

Keith Mills

 

I have fled my country and gone to the heather.

Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights (1847)

 

And the moors were always there and never without their promise.

J.B.Priestley

Water, that strong white stuff, can here be seen at its origins. It wells from the rock, and flows away. For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself.

Nan Shepherd
