June 28, 2024, Essex Gravel

A familiar area, riding paths less travelled. Some of the paths were a bit bumpy due to the dry weather of late (I might have a few blisters 😬), but that is still way better than ploughing through mud 🐖. Although the route was relatively flat, the legs felt pretty tired towards the end.
