I got my 100 km ride in - exactly 100 km! (I was 3/4 km short so I rode round the block to get it right.) It was an 'undulating' route (a term which means 'damn hilly' to flatlanders but 'almost flat' to those of us used to lots of hills) - 1,431 metres/4,695 ft of ascent.
It was overcast and cool for the first half of the ride, but finally the sun appeared and stayed with me until I got home.
I had a behind-the-hedge stop on the way back and I thought I might as well take a few scenic photos before I set off again. My phone camera is a bit iffy so they weren't brilliant but here are the best two. I should have forgotten about including my bike and concentrated on the scenery - the bike is almost invisible anyway!
I was feeling a bit tired when I got home but remembered that I needed to buy some milk and other shopping so I swapped bikes and nipped back out. (I won't leave the best bike unattended)
When I got home I made a big pot of coffee and put the last stage of the Women's Tour of Britain on the TV. Next thing, I woke up with a horizontal coffee mug on my lap! VERY fortunately it is one of those insulated mugs with a push-on-lid and the lid stayed in place so I didn't scald myself. In future I will put the mug down between sips when I am tired!

Yes, I noticed the signs up in the station yesterday. I wonder if they will put the Metros there anyway? They are usually just inside the station door, which is where people will probably stand to wait for the buses.
An alternative is to ask a bus driver in the bus station if they mind me hopping onto their bus to pick up a Metro. I've had a couple that let me do it in the past, but one glared at me for even asking the question!

I’m enjoying Scotland’s Lochs. Near here just now. Loch Earn and Comrie.

Yes - all of your teeth could half-drop out, and Strictly could be on all channels every night forever!

If that is before the TV gets switched on, that could be a benefit!

Right
been out shopping 3 times today
but I was good and took an bike
OK OK OK - and ebike - actually my wife's folder to check it worked OK after recelling
why 3 times - kept forgetting stuff - look at the name of the thread for details
anyway - final run - MASSIVE PROBLEM
battery ran out of electrons
actually had to pedal using muscle power almost all the way there
then the battery recovered enough to help up the hill on the way back but most of the way was muscle only
and then it cut out again as I turned into our estate (as in housing estate - I don;t live on an ancestral park) so I had to pedal the rest of the way home
anyone know how to start a GoFundMe page as compensation?????

Surely the bike was getting lighter as the electrons were being used up, making it easier to pedal 😉
