Well spotted, after looking back on my photo's it was indeed from early March, my bad. I took one yesterday from the same spot which looks very similar at a glance. It's up the same road towards hammerton zoo.nice cycling roads.

Herd of attack geese waiting to peck me to death this morning.

Did the 50 mile version of my power station circuit today - 2 power stations (Eggborough & Drax)

This is about as close as you can get to a cooling tower on the route

I must go down to the sea again
the beautiful sea and the sky
I left my socks and pants there
I wonder if they're dry.

Love the photo!

Wanted to put some proper miles on the old Raleigh today after treating her to a new chain, freewheel hub and the surplus rims from the Dawes which have been painted white and pin-striped to match the Milk Race Special colours. I also wanted to try out my new helmet which came courtesy of Cycling Weekly after having my Tour of Cambs letter printed!

Sadly my ride was cut short and I had to make the call of shame, much to my wife's displeasure!

Got a puncture on the rear only to discover that my 14mm spanner wasn't in the saddle bag... deeply frustrating...

I think, having stripped it off at home, I may have a defective tube? It would appear that there is a deformed section and the hole is basically on the very edge of this section, I can't find any evidence of the tyre being pierced or anything?!

I think for the cost I'll just bin it off and put a new one on?

Oh and for the leg shavers out there... This has got to be a pretty good reason for shedding the leg hair?! I must have eaten as many again of these bloody little bugs! (I'm still not going to though!)

ETA: Big shout out to the St Ives CC club runners who all gave a cheery 'morning' as I made my walk of shame through Alconbury Weston...

^^^ the tube might have been pinched when fitted I had a similar incident.

Sorry Swerni!

I hadn't joined the dots at the point I posted this (in my defence it was a photo from that day's ride just not my photo)

Got myself a Viking Jetstream road bike for £30 the other day! It needs some fine tuning, with the gears and positioning of handle bars etc, but it's an absolute bargain!
