INspirational bit

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

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

Nan Shepherd

The Living Mountain (1977)
