Sunday Ride

With the weather looking sunny, it was also Meldrew's Meeting Sunday.

I was away a bit earlier and decided to take a scenic route to the Blue & White Café.

In the end I arrived just after 10am. We had a discussion about different runs and then we split up. By the time I got home the bike was covered in mud and I got the hose out to wash it off.

A sunny day but still very cold.

The next run out should be to Southend on Tuesday to go to a football match. Fingers crossed it stays dry.

But. Sometimes I want to get my gear on and go for a ride. Last Sunday the "Family Paul" won out.  Hopefully tomorrow, June 6th and of course the 77th Anniversary D-Day, I can get out and do the trip around the county and get the "Cup of Tea Challenge" chalked off. I need to ride the £15000 wo
