If you remember that that was a hit in 1966 for the New Vaudeville Band, then you are probably as old as me……
David was back for the weekend, so it was an opportunity to go for a ride together. I generously let him use my old bike, but even that didn’t slow him down enough. Cycled to Winchester and back, round trip of 33.2 miles, in little over 2 hours. Averaged 15mph out there on a route best described as ‘undulating’. Did give us the opportunity to hit 33mph on a convenient downhill stretch,a new personal best. Only problem being that we had to go back up the same hill on the way back…..
I think I must still have a bit of competitive spirit left as today was my fastest 30 miler by quite a way. Unfortunately young whipper snapper noticed how gently I tackled the last few hills, sarcastically pointing out the de-limit signs with ‘you can go as fast as you like now, dad’. Funny. ( I don’t think).
Anyway, five days on the trot out on the bike gave me the perfect opportunity to visit The Talisman for a spot of carbo-loading (and the pub quiz).
David suggested trying Stonehenge tomorrow. Probably explains why he was so bad at geography questions in the quiz.
