Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Sunny here as well, but bitterly cold.

Life is full of disappointments.
My Dong have arrived. 8,400,000. I thought I'd need to take an extra case at the very least but no.........21 notes!! That's it 21 notes.
500,000 is +/- £10

That's one of my cafe stops from SuA (I just don't like the hills either of Lighthorne village) - if you are around the area have you tried the two new-ish cafes ? - one at Wellesbourne (The Garden Shed) and another at Kineton (Gilks Garage) - both are superb and geared for cyclists with decent bike racks etc.

From your "local chippy"?It was.
Yes one Ding is worth 100,000 Dongs.
If you buy a laptop while you are there you could get a Ding Dong Dell.
Her local chippy is the cafe at the top of Snowdon. She sends Mr WD out for them and woe betide if they're not still hot when he gets back

I haven't tried either of the new cafes yet. I used the farm track between Harbury and Chesterton this morning and then did the climb up over the motorway on the way out, on the way back I rode through Lighthorne, crossed the fosseway then dropped down into Wellesbourne, I was out on my fixed this morning.

A very slow 16 miles done on the hybrid taking it really easy. Just got to grab the chance in the middle part of the day when it is less cold. Coffee time now.

I got back just after two, with 56 miles on if you believe the cycle computer, or 54.4 miles if you believe the GPS on the phone, theres normally a slight discrepancy between the two but not normally that much, the computer starts as soon as the bike moves, I switch on and off the GPS a short distance from the house. It was also a very slow ride, I took it easy on the way out to the Cricket Pavilion at Lighthorne as it was frosty, but then on the way back it seemed to be windy and the ride was slow and hard. on the way out I used the farm road between Harbury and Chesterton, on the section going past the church I found myself riding among free roaming sheep, no fences along there just cattle grids. My first ride for about 10 days so it was great to get out and I had a very enjoyable morning out riding my bike, but the low average speed was a disappointment.
