I now have a new friend. He ruffled my feathers a bit at first.
I now have a "little red courgette" ear worm 
Anyway. Went for a quick 5miles on the bike while the sun was out. It now has absolutely no untoward clunks when freewheeling. I have tired legs though after both swimming and cycling on the same day. Less triathlon more Centre Parcs.

Come day, go day,
wishing my heart it was sunday,
its butternut all the week,
but its whiskey on a Sunday...

The "beak" is making it look more French style.

I didn't realise cycling had become that dangerous in the UK.

Weather turned out not too bad so made a dash out on my trike. Not good as in the first couple of miles 20 or 30 cars passed me. Not one acknowledged that I had pulled over to let them pass which is not normal for here when about 95% do give a toot or flash of hazards or a wave if coming towards me.
Make of that what you will.
Turned back and went to check out a possible off road route but the surface is not suitable so came back home.
On the way back on our local 3 miles of double track I was doing 58mph and was passed just before a blind corner by a white hatchback as tho' I was standing still. Could not even guess at their speed and did not catch the reg number.
This is the kind of thing we have to put up with for the next couple of weeks and that is the end of any trike trips until this madness has passed.
We did get some revenge a few years ago when we had a load of empty hogsheads coming from Buckie. The lorry was delayed by rally traffic and the driver was not best pleased. I got every spare worker and we got the casks off double quick but he had 20 minutes to get the ferry 21 miles away on mostly single track road. I did phone ahead to ask the ferry to wait [which they did] but the truck had triple air horns on his cab and we could hear him blasting until he vanished over the hill 4 miles away. He later told us it was great fun and he never saw so many cars heading for the ditches before.
We also trapped 3 rally cars in the distillery yard with no permission as casks were piled around them.
You may surmise I am not a fan.
