I haven’t had a whinge for a while about the bastard headwinds that greeted me yesterday morning. I haven’t cycled in headwinds for a while so at least it broke up the cool morning monotony. I just put my head … Continue reading

It was cool again this morning at 5°C, but still, sunny and welcoming. Until I got to the big busy road but that’s the price to pay for saving on petrol. I went out on my clean crosser and her … Continue reading
Schadenfreude

Yesterdday was another where things had to be planned around junior cricket and riding my bike. I parked up at the club and took the short river side route avoiding dogs, but mainly their mindless walkers. I took leave for … Continue reading
