The first ride of 2023

I couldn't waste the second sunny and dry day of 2023, so dragged myself out on the trusty old touring bike. There were still the hazards of some ice where the sun hadn't reached and lots of mushy damp leaves, but I'm still here! It was good to be out there and a lazy afternoon now awaits.
These inquisitive sheep probably thought I had food for them.
I was going to use the extra for a blip, but the low sun has caused a bit of glare, so instead it's the customary bike shot.
