Your ride today....

[gbb]

An aborted ride around 4 or 5 miles.
Nice and sunny, asked the 4yo grand daughter if she wanted to come for a ride, see some rabbits etc.
Before we left...do you need a wee ?...no.

Set off, soon into countryside, enjoying the butterflies and birds and the deer...

Anyway, on we go...about 2 miles in...grandad, I need a wee !

Ah well, back 'wee' go

It turned out to be nearly 7 miles yesterday.

Today, more or less the same ride, gd on the back, did the route I set out to do yesterday, tracks and paths through old brickpits and a nice quiet stretch of road up to Normans Cross, site of a Napoleonic POW camp where there were 5 Sikhs (I assume) stood looking across the vista, very ceremonial deep purple clothing and turbans, ceremonial daggers quite resplendent. No idea what they were doing, but they looked quite astonishing.

Caught the sun today..11 miles cycled.

22 miles around the town today.. Certainly a warm one!

Amongst dropping a few bits into the charity shop & a dog toy into a mate's place, I had a camping stove & 8 gaz cylinders for it to transport.. Luckily, I had the rack on the bike. Unluckily, ine of my two bungees snappedvto the load was a bit wobbly!! I kept an eye out for some baling twine (there's always some around but not todat! 😂) I did find 3' of electric cable si utilised that for the last 6 miles home..

Cooling off in the garden, now, with a cuppa ☕

A trip to Loch Earn, which earned us beautiful views and a splendid single track road.

The return was enlivened by a fatal tear to the front tyre wall, but tandem paranoia meant we happily had a spare.

About 35 miles.
