Colder and Darker to Rye

Track covered in fallen chestnuts between a picket fence and a field edge, seen from the bars

Chestnuts all over the track

A low golden sun over Kent fields and a hedge beside a quiet road

Low sun over the fields

The stone gatehouse lodge with its carriage arch at West Cross, Tenterden

A cyclist in a yellow jacket ahead on a flat road with a wide grass verge, riding into an orange sunset

Following the wheel into the sunset

A cyclist in a yellow jacket seen from behind on a hedged road under a pale evening sky

Evening between the hedges

A long shadow of the rider and bike thrown up a dark road by the light behind, with the Garmin glowing on the bars

My shadow in the following light

A cyclist in a yellow jacket lit by a headlight on a dark tree-lined lane

Yellow jacket in the beam

Richard from behind in a bright orange jacket and long black bibs, riding a flat road towards a low orange sunset between Smallhythe and Wittersham

Into the sunset near Smallhythe

The bar of The Globe Inn Marsh in Rye, with glasses hanging over the counter, a low dark ceiling and people at tables through the doorways
