Long days, warm evenings - what finer time to get on your bike and head for the countryside.
A favourite ride takes me alongside the River Trent, where you can really enjoy the bucolic splendour of Nottinghamshire.
Head up the new section of Loop Road in Colwick (past Victoria retail park), turn right at the Stoke Lane junction and head for Stoke Bardolph.
Follow the river until you reach the railway crossing; go through the gate on the right, follow the road and enjoy the open countryside.
This ride can easily be extended to end at the teashop in Gunthorpe, a great stop for cyclists.
Have you got a favourite local ride you’d like to share with me - and anyone else who reads this column.
If you have, please let me know.
Enjoy the ride

- Over-the-hill dad of two who refuses to admit he cannot ride a bike like he did in his 20s and goes mountain biking in The Lakes (with full cardiac team on standby). I love to combine cycling with drinking mugs of tea and eating cake. Am trying to teach my daughters to ride their bikes with very little success. My wife won't even go near one.
