I have cycled twice today!

A circuit of the bye ways of Kent.
Followed by a pootle to Whitstable. Where di all those common people come from?
Found a very nice ice cream establishment. Staffed by the prettiest young ladies.
Can HE say that?

Gelateria, worth seeking out. Excellent coffee an reportedly very fine hot chocolate
Cheated and squandered a bit more than £6 for the pair of us to return on the train.

I've been there. I'm no great ice cream consumer but the person I was with was impressed. Good coffee though.

Evening cuppa going down , we have our granddaughter sleeping over tonight so an early morning ride will be short or unlikely

Very hilly ride today and have to repeat it in the opposite direction tomorrow. I sometimes wonder why I took up cycle touring as hobby!

Weather was amazing up until the last couple of miles when the heavens opened. I can hear the rain still on the velux window.

I had to take avoiding action due the rider of a Honda 70 that drifted across the road on a corner on a narrow road. If you can't handle a vintage 70cc bike, perhaps motorcycling is not for you.

Lazy evening, watching some rubbish on the tele.

Nope. Digit 5 of 6 correct. Way, way off.

It's not yours then.

74 mile ride yesterday on the hike/bike trails, slow due to the high temperature - 87F - and the humidity - 90% - and the 20MPH wind, so 140 miles for the week. Had planned for a 100 mile ride tomorrow out in the sticks but considering the same conditions will apply and lack of water outlets in the country hamlets, it maybe the trail again, but not on a Sunday when all the usual 'haven't a clue how to share a cycle path' crowd will be out, so Monday then - with an early start to beat the heat. Cyclists in Britain with cool weather are so fortunate.

I have a 40 year old premium bond, I might check to see if I ever won the big prize.

Fabby supper of bacon, egg, bubble & squeak (with kale & broccoli) and a tomato salad

The snooker is also serving up a treat.

It may be sunny but it's still quite chilly here near the east coast thanks to the breeze coming in off the cold North Sea. Just about got away with shorts & a short sleeved top on the bottle bank & shopping trip this morning, while the afternoon ride was a little warmer as I headed inland.

This evening's hot chocolate has just been had, having been made once I'd finished preparing the food & drink for Sunday's day out.

Another question from today - why is it that there were more cars on the designated 'quiet lanes' than any other road?

From the Cambridgeshire Fens, although here they call it tea and eat it earlier.

Am a Londoner by birth.
