At Eroica they had beer at every food stop and I had numerous halves at every one.

Talking of selfies can i just say those selfie sticks should be banned or at least come with a health or audible warning system.

On my short soiree earlier i was nearly decapitated by one and assaulted by another.

Tourists you are lovely BUT LEAVE THOSE F**KIN* STICKS AT HOME.

I'm gone 36 hrs and this turns into the tea thread. 6 pages I tell you, 6 pages... there isn't a smilie that shakes its head in the manner needed!

Anyhow.... @coffeejo may have put the bar too high really, but here we go. From today's ride.

Summer = the scent of wild honeysuckle to me and I just had to stop...

Apologies for cutting the tip of the leaf off, it was moving around in the breeze gale force wind that is always around when you are trying to photograph a flower!

Sorry Emma, i was filling in the gaps due to lack of entries.

What about ? It's how I felt when I crawled out from under my rock and saw how much I had to catch up on (I just clicked the "mark all read" box ).

Anyhow.... @coffeejo may have put the bar too high really

I thought the expected quota was 6 pages of waffle per eligible entry?

@SatNavSaysStraightOn

One of my silly simple pleasures is this short section, when going downhill I try to duck under the weeping willow at the bottom of the slope.... I normally don't succeed! I know I could go round but it's more fun to duck, and whether going up or down this short avenue of trees it's always lovely.

I only realised that it's one of my sunny summer pleasures (the ducking under the willow) yesterday when I suddenly noticed that I was grinning to myself as I attempted it at speed. (Other times of the year ... wet soggy leaves or branches aren't as much fun!)
