Bike ride to Morecambe via Hest Bank

Distance: 13.01 miles
Average speed: 7.3 mph
Maximum speed: 15.1 mph

I have now managed to get an app on my phone that logs distance and route (the wonders of modern technology)


It is good to see that the two methods of calculation seem to be more or less in agreement.

My plan had been to continue along the canal tow path to Carnforth but my legs rebelled and I took the shorter option.



A starling was sunning itself on the promenade, the sun catching its wings made them look iridescent.



Further along, it was good to see that the statue of Eric Morecambe has been reinstated.

  1. First of all, those who have this app seem to be using it well, Anne, so congrats. I see Alan Rolfe's routes on FB all the time. Maybe you should start posting yours there? :) Just an idea.

    You already know how much I love your starling. TEXTBOOK and so very iridescent, yes. I especially LOVE the whimsical statue of Eric Morecambe. How fun. I assume he's life-sized?

    1. I haven't quite worked out all the mechanics of ether transfer from the app yet 🚲🚲
      Yes, the statue is life size, it always makes me smile when I see it
