Dress Rehersal

I now know why those guys you see pooteling along at 3 mph by the side of the road, wearing anglers sun hats and with fully laden bikes, complete with aerials and flags and witty 'This Way Up' and GB stickers always look so knackered - because they are!

My bike now weighs an absolute ton!

Took it, and myself, for a fully kitted out trial run. Just round the village.
So what did I learn?

1. My mirror gives an excellent view of the inside of my upper right wrist
2. Steering takes more effort than I expected
3. Trying to go up steps is a no no
4. Nobody takes any notice of a bike bell

On the positive side, just read that Monday is going to be sunny and Tuesday could be the hottest day of the year. Hoorah!
