Made my excuses, left the Office at 2. Did a few chores to free up the weekend. And then went on a loop with a few tools to adjust / fettle a few things on the Trek in real time. And play around with raising the seat height…..

Far too nice to be indoors anyway ☀️

4.20am out the door today 😁

Because if you want to be somewhere up the road to see sunrise. You may have to watch the Moon go down too (Somewhere Nr Bradwell, Norfolk):

Onto Gt Yarmouth and over Breydon Water:

This bike may be an odd MPH faster than my normal and now quite svelte Carrera. Hard to tell ! **I can tell the difference between 32c tyres on this and the much plusher riding 38c on the Carrera mind…..😉

Really enjoyed that - after having a week off pretty much; post-Dynamo last weekend 👍

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
I wanted to test my recovering ankle out on some hills, but didn't want to go too far so I headed off to a favourite couple of hills on the North Downs to mess around a bit with the option to bail out and roll back down if my ankle wasn't good.

There were SO MANY cyclists out. Going up one of my target hills (Beddlestead Lane ) I was passed by an absolute stream of cyclists, including some large bunches, a couple of full-on chain gangs and smaller groups. I asked some people if there was an event on, but no. It seemed like all the cyclists in the South East wanted to ride up Beddlestead Lane. I was the only one to turn round at the top and go straight back down though. :smile:

Must have been the sunny weather.

Ankle was fine, btw. Time to get back to my usual routes.
 
Almost my usual Saturday ride today.

The ride to the meet was a bit depressing. I arrived at traffic lights at a T junction just before 8am. I waited 3 cycles of the lights but they weren't detecting me, looked back and there was no traffic in sight to trigger them and unfortunately there's no ped crossing, so I crawled through on red carefully observing that there was no traffic on what would be the minor arm, except a driver in the distance. He saddly chased me down to shout the red light abuse.

The ride fortunately after that when I met my mates was great. Some good banter at the hotel cafe then round to the pub for some more banter and a couple of pints of rocket fuel. Before cycling the 14miles home at a good pace (20.8mph). The bit that was slightly different the folk I normally cycle to town with left early, so I went a slightly different route.
