Oh what a beautiful morning!

Helen,

What is a yoof? Is that like a young person? 🙂

It's cloudly and rainy here, so cycling is not good. But I'm glad it's good
where you are!

Indeed. Young person, male, on MTB or BMX which is too small for him, so he
sits with knees sticking out. Also, if bike with gears, he fails to understand
how to use gears, and invariably is in a gear waaay too low, so legs spin in a
blur ;-) Choice of clothing black or very dark t-shirt or hooded sweatshirt,
baggy in nature and trousers are also black, baggy and often cut off just below
the knee. Yoof does not like cycling anywhere near middle-aged ladies and it is
a point of yoof honour that middle-aged ladies *must* be overtaken with
accompanying derogatory comments aimed at middle-aged ladies on bikes.

Hence this morning when middleagedfatbirdonabianchi sailed past such a yoof,
she made a point of smiling sweeting and saying "good morning" to said yoof,
whislt showing yoof a clean pair of Look pedals :-)

My bit of England is bathing is sunshine and very light wind. I'm making the
most of it! I shall be off out again this evening to enjoy a pootle as the sun
sets.

Cheers, helen s

Good for you!

I was thinking of this song ever since I left the store with my new
shorts at 7pm, even though it was a rainy afternoon that got me seat
soaked. Oh well. Then I went shopping for wicking underpants and
overshorts. Then I decided to test them by riding home. Total milage
55.3 miles.
