Tour de Ryedale

Out on the bike before the rain arrived. Interesting ride. Spotted a road closure but hoped a cycle could get through. I did just....the side of a hump back bridge had been knocked clean off and was lying in the bed of the river. A Heron flew across my path and was flagged down by a motorist wanting to know where the road was blocked. Turned a corner to meet a motley crew of 6 dogs plus two owners. Said owners had problems getting them on the right side of the road. Further on encountered a man throwing a ball for his dog. One bounce and it flew into the road in front of me closely followed by the dog. Brakes applied and apology received. Rather glad to make home in one piece.

This was taken along the way in East Ness (nothing to do with a monster of a similar name).
