A 10 mile loop in the sunshine - over Barnes and Hammersmith bridge in West London. Lovely weather.

Thanks for that.  I do something similar but being in London I use sturdier locks and a racktop bag for cycling stuff with a cable lock through the handles.

Hosking, unfortunately, owns Locomotive Services Ltd, which owns and runs many of the preserved mainline steam and diesel locomotives.  He has money to burn.

And he has contributed to a (railway related) charity of which I am a trustee.  I wasn't aware of his proclivities till 5 minutes ago.  I feel soiled, degraded.  We won't be accepting any more of his money while I'm a trustee.

We had all our lead replaced. I knew from our builder that had found lead at the boundary in our 1927 building. The deal was that Severn Trent would excavate and replace if they found lead and it would all be free. No lead= me paying for the excavation.
As I already knew it was a no brainer.

15k hill run today, and I prefer off-road for all the reasons mentioned above.
No car available, so 48k round-trip by bike to and from the start point.

Out of interest what do you do about securing the bike, taking running clothing, etc  when you cycle to/from a run?

I had a small rucksack containing my running kit, which also which had a small cable lock in it.
The car park is in a fairly remote location, off a not-very-busy road.
The bike was not visible from the road, it appeared as an un-inviting car park that you would have no reason to enter unless you were going to go up the hill, which no-one else was doing today.

I locked the bike to the best thing available ( a fairly sturdy fencepost in this case, with enough runs of fencewire above to prevent it just being lifted off).
My cycling kit was left in the rucksack, and the cable lock passed through that too.
There was nothing to stop anyone opening and rummaging in the rucksack.
My bike Garmin was removed from the bike and left in the rucksack, too.

So fairly minimal security, really.
But good enough for this scenario.

There's a photo of the arrangement on my Strava post here:
