Back in the saddle

I'm now officially allowed to ride my bike again after my recent operation. It has been really frustrating not being out on two wheels during the fine weather of the last week or two.
This afternoon we did a rather leisurely ride over to Ripley for delicious ice creams. Unfortunately, they were consumed before they could be blipped.
This shot is of a very popular route for cyclists and walkers from Ripley castle towards Nidderdale. We are fortunate to live in such a pleasant place.
