We went out on the bikes yesterday!! My first this year!
I have been wanting to photograph this rail viaduct for years...
It was just fifteen miles, enough to start with and lasted as long as the best weather if the day!
Today we are off again on the bikes, before the weather turns to custard again...the same distance, in the opposite direction, to post off a couple of orders.

HOORAY!
I hope to get on my bike here in Minneapolis soon too--still snowy here, but warming up.
That rail viaduct is beautiful--who built it, do you know? Or, rather, when was it built?
Oh that's so scenic...the viaduct could be part of a card design...if you can work it in from someplace besides the road...or include the road...or a bike rider...oh I'm sorry. I'm really glad to see the viaduct! Have a good day!
Yay! Glad you got a ride in! That's quite an impressive viaduct.
Before the weather turns to custard - that made me smile. Cycling through custard - now that would be worse than a slow hill grind. I cycled the other day too - out towards the beacons - nice to get the legs and lungs working again
Yup! Good to be out again with a bit of sun on your back and able to do without 4 layers (now down to 3).
I agree with Barbara, above, that the viaduct, with a cyclist included, would make an excellent sketch (rather like a new "Patterson")
It is the Burnton viaduct on the Ayr and Dalmellington railway.
Quite a chequered history and an interesting read about the railway in Wikipedia.
Built in the 1850s anyway but no mention of by whom.
A little more information, it was built by 1856, and the engineer in charge was John Miller born in Ayr in 1805...looking at the railscot website, he has an impressive list of constructions to his name
