Results aren't until tomorrow according to my app?
Drizzly but humid wander done. Just round the riverside trail this morning.
Tomorrow is to be really heavy rain for the entire day so I can see the Wattbike or treadmill getting used.

Got out on the ride and got back before the real heat kicked in although there was a nice breeze out in the fens and managed to avoid too much headwind.
Nice little 30k out to Wicken and back via the new-ish path to Soham ,pretty quiet with mostly farm traffic about and had a little detour while in Soham to see my grandparents old bungalow and Soham Town Rangers football ground were I used to go quite a bit when younger and round the grandparents and also later when a friends younger brother played for them (used to go all over East Anglia to games as my mate had a company car and a generous fuel allowance!).

I see another of my ex colleagues has died. Just 74. I thought she was keeping well too.

It is 30 degrees here with a stiff breeze so being an idiot liking a challenge I went out in the midday sun on the single-speeder. And also being an idiot wanting to minimise weight I didn't weigh the bike down with unnecessary baggage like food and drink. Instead I carried my Tapster contactless payment bracelet and went on a gastronomic tour calling at as many cafes as necessary.
In the end it was a picturesque ride powered by several pots of tea, a Heinz beans and cheddar cheese toastie, Mars bar ice cream and my new favourite snack the Jaffa Jonut.
So much fun on a bike I bought for £50 !! (I did put the Brooks Flyer saddle on it which was more expensive than the bike)

Got the front brake shoes and brake cable changed on my mates T100 and he asked whether I could change the throttle cable as well.
No probs I said.
Well, to get the top of the carb off requires removal of the carb, which requires removal of the tank, which requires removal of the seat, which requires removal of the.......well - you get the picture.
Whilst I've got it down this far, I may as well check the valve clearances. What do you reckon @Dave7 ?
Valve clearance should always be checked. Be sure to use a micrometer, too many people use a 12" wooden ruler which imo is not a good idea.
