Warmer today with the forecast changing from “pissing down” to “raining a bit” to “just some clouds”. Turned out to be really good conditions for a run and only damp underfoot, or should that be undertyre. Fear of black ice had pretty much gone with the increased temperature.
The Walled Garden cafe in Dorney is one to avoid (except maybe for the ?5 Sunday Roast). The younger staff were very cool but there was one “boss-lady” who was grumbling about everything, e.g. complaining about us leaving our bikes near the _empty_ outside tables (within our view) rather than near the hidden car park, where anyone with a van could have them all. Sorry love, our money keeps you in business and if you don’t want our money we will go elsewhere.
According to Martin we did a ‘horseshoe’ loop so we did more on the way to Dorney and only had a short run back. I think the strong winds on the way out meant a few of us appreciated the quick return.
Everyone seemed quite interested in the pile of sportives I’ve got lined up, all offering advice, which is cool. They are also damn keen to see my new bike! As am I! 🙂
