It's quite pleasant outside today, and looks set to continue tomorrow. For all those doing a DIY ride beforehand, enjoy your rides. I'm heading across to the seaside, with lunch in Walton on the Naze, and a pitstop at the Black Buoy in Wivenhoe on the way back to ensure I rock up at the Compasses at 6pm, in time for food before the serious business commences at 7pm.
