First trip over the water this year for the #FolkRidingBikes Friday evening social ride.

Started in West Kirby and rode round the coast to Birkenhead.

Clear skies on last night's #JoyRide meant it was a little chilly down on the river but meant we could do a little star- and planet-gazing too.

Got a bit of a workout on the front-loader delivery bike with soundsystem as I chased the electric lead soundsystem bike to stay in range of the transmitter up hills and round corners.

Friday's #FolkRidingBikes group social ride was just what I needed after a hard week; riding through the city playing tunes with a bunch of your mates is joyous!

Sadly I didn't have my camera with me, so didn't get the shot as we rode past the Liver Building where one of the couple of lads we'd collected en route passed me riding along a low wall while pulling a wheelie.

This photo is one my mate John Harris took, as we rode through Sefton Park

Another ride out for the Rode mic soundsystem extender last night. Kept mostly close to the city centre to ward off the cold.

Here's the view over the city centre from Everton Brow.
