Running a bit late this morning , weather forecast show's a chance of rain with in the next couple of hours so will be using the Koga

Been raining here most of the night and still on so I ain’t cycling. A muggy walk will have to do.

…..and I’ve only just scraped to 1,000 miles on the bike. Would normally have done quite a bit more but not too bothered these days.

You are way ahead of me . I'm only on 400.
The weather and lock down things has upset things .

Im at 720 miles currently Looking back I used to manage around 2000 miles a year.Must admit as the years stack up I’ve become more of a fair weather rider and don’t bother about targets However I will admit to occasionally attacking some of theStrava segments for over 75s Get the odd personal best but never top the leader board If there is a following wind but don’t tell anyone

I must fit a mirror if that's the way to increase my mileage .

Morning .
It is grey but dry here at the moment .
I turned over to see snippets of the football last night . I didn't want to curse things by watching it .
I watched some bicycles on Midsomer Murders instead .

Right, time to get out into that lovely countryside and do some exploring. Today's goal is fairly unambitious: riding around local villages to see which ones to focus on for apartment hunting. This will involve checking local infrastructure like cycleways, also hills etc.

I've planned a trundle of about 70k, most of which is in a radius of about 30 from the apartment. This may be shortened depending on the weather...

I'll take pictures. What sort of things make interesting pictures?

Morning. It's raining here.

I've just remembered that I haven't done Friday's trivia quiz yet.

I heard on the radio England is king of the world again for five minutes as a couple blokes kicked a ball in some netting better than some other blokes. All our woes are over!🤣

That said, they did play very well for extended periods of play. There are still opportunities for woe on Wednesday.

I still haven't found the trivia quiz

EDIT: found it.

I worked out yesterday that if I keep on track at my present rate I will be able to get my dream narrow boat in three years and become a permanent wanderer on the waterways with my bike for local expeditions. Woohoo!

Well I managed 27 miles so takes my weeks total to the 💯 mark so happy enough stayed dry apart from a light drizzle for last mile and a bit .

Drizzle, interspaced with bigger droplets of precipitation.

For some reason, I felt it necessary to put a new rechargeable battery in one of the solar lights in the garden.

 

[Illaveago]

I've got a sore pimple on my nose ! It's one of those that you can't see but feel ! Ouch!

Lovely sunny day again so far but a bit windy. Having a rest day.
I notice Barra is cut off as MV Isle of Lewis has engine problems again. One winter it was known locally as
" The Limpet" since it spent most of it's time stuck to Castlebay pier.

Happy Independence Day to our Colonial friends
