My first ride in August having taken an enforced rest from the bike because of illness. I was under instructions to take it easy and so I limited myself to 20 kilometres of playing in the Hainberg Forest and at Kesterlingroder Feld.

I am grateful to be back on the bike and my heart goes out to all who cannot pedal as I did this evening.

I am also blessed to live so close to a forest where the temperature is so much cooler away from the baking sunshine. I had to take my sunglasses off when in the dark amongst the trees (German forests are eerie).

My evening closed watching the sunset and to see a blood red sun.
