Today's Bike Ride

[Graham Breeze]

Standard 50m to the craven arms and back yesterday, a lot of my aches and pains are beginning to back off now. I had sticky toffee pudding, which scored through the roof on the stickyness scale. People overtaking into oncoming traffic on the chevin made me rather mad..again.

Going down East Chevin Road?

I am still pootling about and passed 500 miles this year before February finished. Yesterday (Sunday) it felt like the first day, albeit a chilly one, of Spring as I did a short 30 miles to Arthington and up the Eccup Road climbs to Bramhope and then home.

As I was spinning along without a care in the world I heard an awful blaring sound behind which was issuing from the mobile phone of a couple of passing riders. I was so shocked with this noise pollution that I was tempted to chase them down to give them a piece of my mind but thought that my beating the man to a pulp for disturbing my tranquillity might upset his adoring female partner; so let them be.

What is the world coming to?
