June 2016 Round Up and Video
A few months ago a weatherman’s interpretation of some meteorological data was reinterpreted by a journalist which led to headlines predicting a heatwave for the months of June and July. The heatwave had other ideas and stayed in hiding for the majority of July, treating us to the odd few hours of sun some days - it could not even manage a whole day. Rain never actually stopped play but it did give us a few uncomfortable moments, cold and wet is not a welcome state in June. The Daily Express is to blame with its weather-mongering front pages, warning of the risk to life from the devastating heat which will boil the blood of pensioners to a thrombotic slurry. Express headlines only ever cover one of three themes, immigrants, pensions or the weather; if ever a rubber dinghy full of migrants surf into the country on a tsunami to claim our pensions, a headline writer will be orgasmic.
Enough of this drivel, some rides happened this month, starting with the foggy epic which was The Serious Ride For Serious Men before reverting to mountain biking for the remainder of the month - the highlight being our trip to The Lakes, blogged in the Once Upon Time In The West trilogy and video. Time constraints prevented the majority of the other rides being blogged - normal service will be resumed once I have stopped being a B&Q boy and the hammer, hammer, hammer, saw, saw, saw, screw, screw, nonsense is consigned to history. Best get it all out of the way before I retire because that’s when all the DIY tools will be going in a skip somewhere and my valuable time can be devoted to the important things in life.
The unblogged rides are detailed below, along with a few pictures.
