I'm in the Garden Shed cafe Wellesbourne with a bap and a coffee, a strong wind this morning made for a slow hard ride down, at times the wind was trying to lift my woolly hat off my head.

I will give that a miss. Getting the main points in the 6 o clock news will be fine!

I have returned! Good ride out to Buckingham for a coffee and a cake, and back again. Blummen hard work in the wind - keeps one on ones toes, what!

What a day. 4 fence panels fitted. Old fence taken to the local tip. Car dropped of for MOT. Train back to my local for a chill out beer.🍻 Think this is one of the only threads i will not get banned from.😂😂😂

I got back just before 2pm with 55 miles on. It was a hard old morning, a slow hard old slog out to Wellesbourne into that wind, I was expecting an easier ride home but I seemed to spend a lot of it into the wind, when I did get it as a tail wind I was flying. I started to feel the work I'd done around Balsall Common on the way back, I suddenly noticed I couldn't quite spin it up as much as i could earlier on and I was working harder for my speed even when I had the wind behind me. Apart from that it wasn't a bad day, dry and cold as a lot of my rides have been this winter. The ride was more like a training ride than a leisure ride and I've had a good work out this morning.

Jeez I've had enough. Anyone want to buy a couple of bikes!!!! 64 miles in to a headwind or sidewind. It was my route, I missed a turn, we ended up having to Google a route to the cafe. Embarrassing or what? After the cafe my rear mudguard came loose. Had to stop remove wheel and fix. A few miles later I get this loud clunking and it feels like the chain is jumping. Couldn't find the problem. At some traffic lights I looked down and noticed one side of a link had snapped. Stop and fit quick link!!
