It was an interesting experience... it was a hot day, so good to get some hot cycling in before Vietnam!
ok, the interesting thing was leaving my bike. I am not used to leaving her (yes my bike is a she) Normally we go from the house of from the car, we ride around and then put them back. if we stop for a rest we sit with them be it at a pub, a harbour or under a tree. So this morning I had to lock up and leave my bike while I went to a meeting.
I was worried. leaving her all on her own.
This is her all tied up with her lock on the back and an extra loop for the front.....
Why was I so Worried??? What hot bed of crime did I leave her at.?
The Police Station.
Personally I would have liked to take her in to the meeting with me....she was all on her own, miles away from the entrance and visible to the world!
She was fine, I took this photo just in case she was stolen and I had to tell the insurance company I could evidence I had secured her correctly. anyway, the rest of the day she was placed safely in a cupboard! When I came back from the police station I was making puddles of sweat.....not a good look....A quick wet, wipe wash and a change of top and I was back to work.
What made it all worth while was not just getting my miles in during the day (15 in total) but my ride home.
I took a park and woodland route home, It was beautiful. The only problem with the low lying sun is that I was blind for half my journey... but when I could see...it was worth it. just look at my highlights from my cycle ride home.
