I've just been for a 3 mile walk, had to get dressed for that , but it's so hot here 30c in the sun I could have gone in the “all together” anyway feel so much better now.

I can't leave you lot alone for five minutes.

I think we've got a new Chuckle Brothers act forming!

Nice pics WD

On my little ride this morning I had a very close pass, I told the lady driver she was very very naughty. I'm quiet used to cars coming close but this was very close, a gnats ...k to use an old chippies term for measuring.

Exploring more Neolithic stone circles on Bodmin Moor this morning.

Now in the Rising Sun, Alternun, enjoying an excellent seafood chowder and some fine real ale.

Back from a 23 mile bimble for me. Gorgeous weather here with temps of around 20 to 23 deg.

The building in Mach known as the Parliament building is where Owain Glyndwr the last true Welsh Prince ruled from ( I hope Mach had more going for it then than it does now.

Very impressive gates at the park. They are the best thing about the park

I've been out for a trundle in the autumn sunshine, my usual Thursday loop stopping at Hatton Locks, 56 miles, a bit chilly at first but warming up nicely as the day progressed. We had a good crowd at the cafe and I bumped into a mate I don't see very often riding into Coventry and caught up with the gossip as we rode down Duggins Lane before we went our separate ways.

Thanks Dave. We have had a lot of rain lately. That is why the water is quite high and clear.

Its always nice to see the water clear like that. We were at Lake Garda a few years ago and in the harbour after the speed boat ride we could look into the water and watch the fish swimming about.

Attempted to adjust and grease pedal. Stripped said pedal down, cleaned, re-greased and put back together. Then noticed a large crack in the pedal axle. All the work was in vain. New pedals needed.

@Dirk @welsh dragon - love the pics. Thanks.

April 27th 2019 I will be riding the Mallorca 312. I have a training loop which includes Jeffrey Hill, a local icon, the loop is 11 miles and 922 feet. Best effort to date had been three loops. On Monday a man whose opinions I've always valued said to me "If you can do six loops you'll be good for 312."

Well I like a challenge. The gauntlet was picked up..........today I did six loops, 62.8 miles, 5666 feet, average 14.1.

I'm on a bit of a high tonight
