John Lee’s bike – which is for sale and goes up hills on its own – joined us in the first group this evening for what was a very pleasant spin. It was a bit like one of those horses in the Grand National who has lost his rider but keeps going.

Does anybody else think this is a little like Toy Story 3? I haven’t seen the movie but apparently its very sad. The boy doesn’t play with his toys anymore so they are moved on. They are very disappointed given all the fun they’ve had together etc. etc. Maybe its just me.

Anyway we had a group of eight cyclists and although the breeze was chilly, the sky was clear and the sun was bright. It was a pleasure to be out on a fine evening in such good company.
