Up with the birds.  They are chirping their morning song down here in Surrey.

Hope he has a good day, filled with succulent sizzling sausages, a helpful wind nudging at his back and the sun shining on the road ahead.

In Warks at the moment. Heading for Ashby (Leics?) tonight.

The weather seems calmer today (says he from the warmth of his bed).

He was riding from Southam to Cubbington and suddenly thought ‘”Bloody hell this will take me to Birmingham!”
He took a 90 right.

I see the plan. The best way in is round the north of Sutton Park, along Queslett Rd and Newton Rd to the West Bromwich dual carriageway.
Every other approach is stop-start mayhem. ( Or he will get mugged when they see all the electronics on his bike. )

I hope he doesn't stop to ask the way. Can he speak Yamyam?

A leather shoot?    I say.



My interest was piqued, and then reality sunk in.

a Brooks jacket  ???  Probably a free saddle, I reckon. I didn't know Brooks was making cycling jackets!

Will be keeping a close eye on the tracker later, as usually go out in the lanes south of Ashby on a Tuesday night anyway so might try and do a bit of Teethgrinder hunting while I'm out  ;D

Brooks are a sponsor, aren't they? I hope they're buying him lunch sausages.

Brooks are a sponsor - generous provision of saddles.
