Tour de York

I left Milo to look after Danielle [with help from Rowan] and went a ride. The trouble with the snow is that any hill worth climbing, [the Wolds, the Dales, the North York Moors] is likely still to have ice on it. So I plot a route all around York. It is a journey through a very sodden landscape. The route crosses the Ouse, the Derwent, the Foss, the Ure, the Nidd and the Wharfe and all of them are swollen and flooded. It is hard to imagine the ground ever being dry again. A good ride though, my back held up well to 80 miles.
