Today's Ride

[Mickeyspinn]

Pebbly beach riding is technical! Speed overcomes until it doesnt!
Maybe next time I'll record the sweet sounds of the concrete xylophone....when's there two or three riders it's crazy! Patrick Moore would've loved it!

What's worst pebbly or sandy? Danish beaches here are mostly sandy unless on the far Eastern coast. The other day I was on a single track path that I didn't know led to the beach, it was dark and suddenly it was deep sand in front of me and it nearly slung me off. Got a fair fright.

Do record the concrete xylophone. With enough cyclists you can form an avantgarde bike driving jazz quartet, rolling up and down the slabs while soulfully belting out the names of obsolete components from the past.

Another mad week but there was a window this morning and I took it. Grey, again, breeze, again, low cloud, again, barely 11 degrees, again. I was in Exeter yesterday and left at 17:00 with 21 degrees (and had a lovely lunchtime run) and watched the temperature steadily drop as I reached HQ in the evening I wouldn't swap it - the sun is coming out now.

This is the longest it's taken for things to warm up down here in years I think. We've normally had a good few scorchers on the beach by this time, but not this year!

I think we're running at least 3-4 weeks behind the rest of the south. Does anyone know where the gulf stream has gone?!

Gulf gone golfin'

Not around these parts.....freaking heat-wave and drought around the corner. Farmers already making hay bales.

Four weeks ago you didn't know whether to light the fire or not.

Nothing a good bottle of wine and a solid tune can't fix brother, am I right?
