Good morning from a dull & overcast Suffolk. A small coffee has just been finished and I'm about to nuke a bowl of porridge for breakfast. Once that's been eaten a flask of coffee will be made, the food & drink packed into a small cool bag and then I'm off to Silverstone for the weekend for the return of international sportscar racing - the Michelin Le Mans Cup this afternoon and the ELMS 4 hours on Sunday.

Morning.
It is a bit sunny here.
You can get riders who are good at sprinting, some are good at climbing and others in the GC. I was wondering if there was a freewheeling classification because I think I would be good at that.

Covid and flu jabs booked for 3 weeks time. Felt more awake than I have been this morning so the car did an Aldi - different Co-op - Waitrose tour. Stacks of chicken breasts in that Co-op so two Aldi price matched one less a 40p voucher. Waitrose had one of those annoying mini shelf shuffles whereby most stuff was were it should be but then others had moved.

Out early @biggs682 ! Looking at the forecast - just had breakfast (no added sugar Heinz Beans are the work of the devil - had to add cheese to hide the sweetener taste). Looks like we have a weather window, so just about to go out before the rain comes back - damp out so it will be clip on guards, quick wheel change from knobbles to road, and winter boots.

Always out early here best time to get a ride in.

Saw a black sit up and beg bicycle with rod brakes, chain guard , Sturmey Archer three speed shining like a new pin. The owner had today’s paper in the rear rack. A wonderful experience seeing one of those and local to me too.
