Not wishing to be late for June I managed to get out this morning for a qualifying ride. The hot weather has definitely arrived in Taiwan.

Hope everyone is well.

A ride round the Lenches on a cool June morning. Just scraped over the 50k mark. Unremarkable, except for a completely unnecessary close punishment pass from some witless frimble in a Tesla Model S invalid carriage. Numpty.
