Revisiting (mid-October) some favourite places in the Olympic Park, taking the time to get the camera out. And finding new things!

| Walking towards the Velodrome, over the river - there's been lots of kayaking activity here |

| Florid hillside! All those seasonal changes since the start of the sessions in May |

| Another encircled tree |

The "mirrored bridges" - two bridges at angles - the park reveals itself in layers
As the fountains were pretty much deserted (as in this little video) - no shrieks of delighted children - it was possible to hear the waters' rhythms and the different sorts of noises they made throughout the sequence -

Here's hoping Bikeworks will run these "cycling in older age" sessions again - I for one feel so much more confident on a bike now. Once you know how, you may never forget how to ride a bike, but it does take a while to build up a bit of bravado.
I have not been on my bicycle for two years and I miss it. Fall is here and winter will be arriving so there won't be much of an opportunity to start now. I haven't felt strong enough to ride confidently, but I have been walking a lot since February. I plan on keeping up the walking throughout the winter so by next spring I will be back on the bike. I have enjoyed your biking adventures this summer.
ReplyDeleteI haven't visited the Olympic Park since 2012 when we were there with 300,000 others. It was an amazing day made even more wonderful by the planting. It's fascinating to see it 3 years on and in Autumn. Thank you for sharing its delights.
