 Sunday, 10th September 2023


2.11 miles. Twice. An easy day today, to the village community run shop, for mile and ice cream, and, then, to the village community pub (The White Hart) and back.

It is so hot, they have cancelled the usually Sunday Carvery, and, have a BBQ, plus Pizzas available.

So, two vintage 1947 Pensioners cycle there, consume their pizza, and drink a pint or two, then, return back to the van.

9.51 miles. The Ellinghams. Rocklands - Little Ellingham - Great Ellingham - Rocklands. Cooler and breezier than yesterday, 23c, and sunny with cloud. Two vintage 1947 pensioners. 

No video, because, this was supposed to be a 4 mile ride, but, one of the vintage 1947 Pensioners decided we venture along road we have never used before, no maps with us, hence, just over 9 miles, not 4 miles!
