Went for a gentle off rd ride trying to ease myself back into riding. Got a bit lost and a nice 5 or 6 Mile bimble turned into a nearly 14 mile adventure......... I need a lie down

@Goldy welcome - to the thread that time forgot!! :laugh::welcome:

Good afternoon all. Yes I did get up this morning. Sunshine and a few showers today.

Did I mention the leisurely cafe run planned for today? 55 miles, 17.2avg and all retirees. Geez!

Heavens opened just as we were leaving the cafe. A quick vote decided we would go back in for more coffee and cake. Good plan as we didn't get wet.


I have a bike to wash as roads are filthy. Then more chutney is required. @classic33 the spicy recipe worked very well. :smile:

Well that got a tad damp at the end. A 55 mile bimble over to Countesthorpe and the Chives tearoom this morning,, lovely ride out in bright sunshine with a slight tail wind, these summer holidays are lovely, riding out of the city first thing without having to dodge school run Mums. The ride back in was a bit different, cloudy with sunny intervals and a stiff headwind making me work whilst not going very fast, I was riding through Ullesthorpe in bright sunshine and it was piddling down at the same time :wacko:, by the time I was crossing the A5 it had stopped, I turned onto Monks Kirby lane and took my waterproof off, as I was riding into Shilton the rain started again and I had to put my waterproof on again, then it rained all the way into Coventry and when I got in I parked my bike got out of my clothes and jumped straight into the shower. A good morning out on the bike but I could have done without the rain at the end.

I do indeed, thats my favorite place for plants

Very pleased to hear that. It's one of the best garden centres for plants that I know. We used to supply a lot to Hilltop. The reason it's so good is Grant Ashby, owner and plant buyer, really knows his stuff and is very selective about what he buys and where. He's also a very fair man who will always discuss an issue and so commands respect from his suppliers.
