That looks great. Like takisawa2 I'm always envious of people who get to live and ride by the sea.

Many years ago had a ride that included the beach from Robin Hood's Bay to Boggle Hole. Miscalculated the tide and ended up wading through chest-deep water to Boggle with bikes over our heads - happy days 😀
