If you’ll need it long enough, and have the budget, consider a Trionic off-road stroller. We got one for MIL and it’s a serious bit of kit. Really stable and can climb kerbs and do rough ground

I will google that.

Someone is making a hell of a lot of money on that, but the demand will be low so the price has to rise

I paid (I think) £120 for mine.
I have no doubt the Trionic will be superior but I can't justify that sort of money.

This morning, I did my last training ride, 22 kms, before my Sportive on Sunday.
I went early but it was still hot.
Then, we took two great grand children to the park so they could mess about safely in the water pond. Mrs G announced then that she forgot to bring any money so guess who had to pay for the ice creams before we went home?

Wow…..I just went out to bring the bin in and it was like stepping into an oven! Straight back in and stuck the shorts/vest pjs on. I ain’t moving again.

Too hot, even in a crop top and thong.

Spoiler: Don't read if easily heated under the collar

Sat here in a bodywarmer, sweatshirt, shirt and tee shirt, and long trousers.

It's not that warm.

Ride done
Not too warm which was good, fairly overcast for half the ride
46miles with 3700ft climbing so a decent spin with a nice lunch stop as well
