Phew! just got back from my first longer ride on a main road [A9]. Cant say i liked it much what with all the traffic coming by, Glad i wore the Sam Browne though, it really stood out against my black jacket and with my crash hat i actually felt like a real cyclist 
Went into the bank at Golspie and with wearing a mask and sweating my glasses were immediately fogged up and could'nt see a thing 
Had a nice rest on a bench by the sea and returned home into a slight headwind when it should have been a tail wind *****forecasters!

Good afternoon people from a beautiful warm and sunny Lancashire 
An excellent ride today. Clearly there's lots of reading to catch up on the days events. I will return but first a little story.
Questions I have never been asked about cycling (or any activity) is the topic. Sat in the cafe with my buddy, also an ageing friendly looking bloke, and the young waitress brought our coffee.
She said "Excuse me but can I ask you a question?"
"Of course" we said. Why miss the chance for a chat with a pretty young woman?
"I've always wondered this. What do you do when you want to go to the toilet?"
Being respectable men we answered without any of the ribald remarks others might use.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
A gorgeous day here as well. Sunshine, blue skies and really warm.

Spot on!
For those who aren't into cryptic crosswords, the English rose is a red rose, a pretty girl sometimes called a belle ( as in " Belle of the Ball ) put the belle in the middle of the red of the English rose and you end up with rebelled, and rose is a synonym for rebelled.

Getting old but not past it
Went to see my son to help him book an appointment at the French Embassy in London but they are fully booked up for October so he will need to check every day for a cancellation and November too.
The good news is that it only takes 4 weeks for the Passport to come.
When I got home, I burned some outdated papers and prepared the Cube for tomorrow's ride as the weather looks good.
