One of the lovely things about living at this latitude is the long spring and summer evenings, especially after the clocks change. However, there is the parallel tendency to fill these light hours up with things - fun things, social things, but things nonetheless that result in going to bed very late, waking up correspondingly late and in a the kind of lazy mood in which you do not notice the day slipping away until it is far too late to contemplate anything remotely resembling a decent ride. I’ve had two of those in a row, so I’m sure the bike will have plenty to say about it when I do finally manage a decent distance run.

MAY DAY
It’s hard to believe it’s already May. The weather has been typically indecisive so far (it May rain, it May not, it May hail...) but for once the bank holiday weekend was not completely rained off. In the UK, this is something of a landmark event. Sunday morning was beautifully mild and sunny for a ride down to one of my favourite pubs, The Mill at Gomshall, which opened up a bit early for me and served me a very good coffee - which is one of the reasons I like them.
They also have properly paved parking and a very nice big garden, as well as being a pleasant ride out from London on a not-too-warm spring day.
The days are getting longer and hotter, and hopefully drier, so longer rides are becoming a prospect again. Yay!
