Another day to sally forth into the lanes of Derbyshire and Staffordshire with a mate > Excellent cafe stop ,apart from the squadrons of wasps trying to make off with my cake . Little fockers . We yapped all the way,few conclusions reached about anything { we should both stand as MP's}
To top it all we never did find Sally .
Tomorrow is another ride . Bring it on .

Jump in car at 1pm at work in Cambridge - not train since I need to get back tomorrow and there’s industrial action - traffic a bit ‘pre COVID’ so rather slow - but arrive Brighton 4pm and talk bike nonsense for half an hour - then short training run - 10 miles in woods around Stanmer and Moulscoombe - 1300 feet of climbing - greasy greasy singletrack, VERY humid - pant pant sweat sweat….NO BUNS - NO CAKE

now….get up early for a bigger ride tomorrow…..

None!!!
Awful ride.

 

[bagpuss]

Off for a sticky bun ride shortly .
I need to go out to try and wear off the slab of the missus cake I have just devoured.
Will this help the waist line? Fock it .

Question:

If I start at the sea. Literally. And ride to a known OS map point of altitude will that be how many feet of climbing my toy should register?
