Got up early on Sunday to get a ride in before celebrating my girlfriends birthday later on.
A beautiful Easter day over here. It felt like a morning for relaxed riding on the 'Rochester', and It was great riding early with very little car traffic out and about.....

I rode from Wallingford through South Moreton into the village of East Hagbourne where I stopped to admire these 'pleached' Lime trees behind an old garden wall.....

On my way home, out of Didcot, I often stop by this line of Oaks by the footpath /cycle track, there's enough timber (lumber) here to make Nelson proud.....

Sadly, we're not allowed to take our bicycles inside, a la @tripple3, but bike parking is right by the entrance.
 
Out on the Vindec again this evening, only 7 miles over to see my mum.
