A bike ride. Not just any bike ride but a bike ride longer than a mile or two on my new (to me) bike. She has now been 'christened' and will be Lady Haydock (in honour of the frame builder Roger Haydock) from here on in. She's such a refined 'lady'. She has a classy-chassis and rolls beautifully.

It's been many a year since I rode a proper road/touring bike; I've been riding hybrid/mountain bike type machines with low gearing and lots of rubber on the tarmac for a very long time. Lady H has significantly higher gearing and not a lot of rubber on the ground. I had forgotten how good it is to go so quickly...I almost un-nerved myself a couple of times

. We had a fantastic ride around the greenery out beyond town, we got lost but it really didn't matter, I could still see Blackpool Tower so had a location marker. It felt good to get some proper mileage in. I can't wait to ride again tomorrow.
