Today is officially the hottest day with a temp of 20.3 deg in West Wales.

Been for a trike ride and washed the car too

I've just got back, a very enjoyable 60 mile bimble in the spring sunshine.

Nice gesture but sadly (imo) wrong move. Sad fact of life but it could end up anywhere (or in any pocket).
A phone number perhaps so the person could contact you and you could verify it.

My conscience is clear and I can sleep easy at night.

Ooooh you just topped me Dave. 59 miles for me but no cafes.

Strange weather though,

There was little wind
But what wind there was
Was blowing hard

The gravity seemed to have been turned up too. Knackered but reviving myself with an orange and cranberry brioche hot cross bun and a pint of tea.

Cooker repair man still hasn't turned up.

There is nothing quite like a bimble.

The Kineton one has closed down now, , I rode down last june to find it closed, last time I was in the Wellesbourne one I asked about it and they confirmed it.

Circling Durham I like it, well done, and yes it was hard work, I'm not sure why though, it wasn't particularly windy. The kids were back at school which made crossing Coventry at the start entertaining, and my average was slightly down on Thursday's ride, 13.8mph as oposed to 14mph on Thursday.

More like scary than entertaining. Built up areas are best avoided if possible, however there are times when it has to be done.

I was a commuting cyclist for over 30 years I'm well used to riding in traffic, these days I tend to just do it when I have to at the beginning and end of my rides, when I need to so I can leave the city heading on to the lanes I want to use and come back in from the lanes I've used.
