I was out out on my road bike then today. I went to Deal, through the lanes. It was a nice ride, and I enjoyed looking around. I only had one speed like a default setting, but I kept it steady and no problems.
I saw everyone out doing 'leisure activities' today, horse rinding, golf, micro lite flying, falconry, motor bike riding, bird watching, walking, fishing, bike riding and even flying bi-planes. I also saw some very self important people wearing very smart clothes, driving top of the range large black 4x4's. Why do these people think they have to go first. I made a big effort to stop them passing me through the narrow streets of Sandwich. When I got home my family had been shopping.
I had no speed at all, might have 'kept my heels down' going over small rises, but that was all I could manage. One guy whooshed by, he had lettering all over his clothing. I accelerated fast enough to get on his wheel, but after about 200 yards I had to let him go, I cant keep that up for long.
I enjoyed taking photos and can not possibly show them all. But the disused cooling towers dominated the landscape virtually the whole ride. I also passed a car breakers yard called 'Zen Motors' which reminded me Dave has not given me back my copy of Zen and the art of motor cycle maintenance yet and he has had it about 4-5 months. That is the second copy I have lent and it not been returned!
I also saw a single bed in road and a burned out van. I will return to the burned out van tommorrow and draw on it. This will add one more to the 6 or so burned out cars I have previously drawn on.
