Your ride today....

[Big John]

Have kept indoors during the heatwave but with lower predicted temperatures for today I plucked up courage and went out for a couple of hours. Roads round here have started to melt and heavy vehicles have removed vast quantities of melted tarmac. Hundreds of sizeable holes ripped out of the surface to add to the already huge number of potholes. The black goo began to stick to the tyres, which then sucked up any surrounding gravel making the ride a PITA. Oh, and despite the forecast for cooler weather it was over 30C.

It was supposed to cool down for my group ride today, it did but only to 31deg C. So I was glad when my mate suggested the usual pub stop. Doh we were nearly 20mins before opening time 🤦‍♂️ So we pressed onto the next as it should have been open by the time we got there and its quite a nice pub anyway. It wasn't though and after 10mins it didn't look like it would be so we moved on to a bigger pub. Fortunately it was open and we had a pint there.
