@classic33 - it didn't clearly state, but appeared to be Byram Arcade. Which is flat.

No further details appeared and everything became very quiet after the first announcement, despite the organisers stating there would be 3,000 spectators. Without much in the way of publicity. I only picked it up as a local event last week.

I do wonder whether it wasn't as genuine as it first appeared, with the organisers keeping entrants £50 and then refunding it at some point later

You've spent the last couple of months building your "soap box", then find out a few days beforehand it's not going to happen. The £50 wouldn't be high on the list of my concerns. Until later.

Kids coaching cut short this morning due to rain. Fortunately, only lost 30 minutes. The kids were losing focus and the grass we were training on was becoming extremely slippery.

Bits and bobs shopping with my wife this afternoon - worth going as I managed to pick up the Boardman hybrid pedals I needed (SPD one side, flat the other), and got 10% off with my BC membership.

Mmmmmm, those hot dogs* really scratched an itch. Haven't had any in ages. Fresh mango and blueberries for afters.

* they were the "Sokołòw" brand paròwki from the Polish aisle

Son no. 2 won his category in today's hillclimb - posted earlier - so he's £15 better off.

I usually get Kielbasa in place of hot dogs. I use the air fryer to cook them.

Ah, yes. You need to look out for Kiełbasa Śląska - silesian sausage. They're the best ones to grill / oven cook etc.

Anyways, it's time I tootled off to bed.

Nunnight one and all xxx

That was the finish line: Finish the hillclimb, fall into the pub.

Son no. 2's only 17 and doesn't drink alcohol. Also, carrying cash or a card would have added weight

A tenner doesn't weigh too much, you could use it as a 'tyre boot' at a push

A tenner a pint! What pubs do you drink in.

I have bought a pair of USB rechargeable bike lights and a rain proof cycling jacket from Aldi today .The headlight seems quite bright .
I have done almost 600 miles so far this year on 10 different bikes .

It seems very strange to think of shopping in Aldi on a Sunday.

At work.

Didn't get rained on too much...

Main road is closed "until mid December" for resurfacing but the cycleway is still open so I had a lovely quiet ride.
