  Monday, 31st May 2021 16.60 miles. Wyatts Covert - Hayes . Split into "there" and "back". A hot (21C) sunny day. Mostly cycling along the Grand Union Canal Towpath. Tuesday, 1st June 2021. 2.41 miles. No video. A short, but, hard, shopping trip, panniers full of heavy items, Milk, Wine, Cartons of Orange Juice, Bananas.  Wednesday, 2nd June 2021 12.53 Miles. Commons Wood CAMC Site (Welwyn) - Hatfield - Jersey Farm - Hatfield - Commons Wood CAMC Site. Hot sunny day, 27C. Securring problem with Garmin (user error?), it does not appear to be possibly to use the ride timer, and, GPS Sat-Nav function, at same time. The time simply does not record for the activity. Fortunately, Kathleen recording via Runkeeper, hence, the different map.  The reason for the ride (if there has to be a reason to ride?), is to "bag" the "J" for Cyclechat ABC of Town and Villages Challenge, hence, Jersey Farm. Saturday, 5th June 2021 19.96 miles. I know, the map says 17.

  Wednesday, 26th May 2021 9.54 Miles. From Wyatts Covert CAMC Site, along Grand Union Canal.  A dry day, 16C, even a little sun, but, the previous ten days of almost solid rain had left some of the towpath rather muddy, and, some big puddles, not to Kathleen's liking ;) Collected some photographs for Cyclechat, mostly bridges.  A quick coffee and cake stop by the canal. Followed by miles 1.08 miles more, to collect "bike infront of gate" photographs for Cyclechat. Tilehouse Lane is a gold mine of fancy gates. We even pass a "Police Incident", with some poor soul lying unconscious on the footway. Friday, 28th May 2021 13.02 miles. Wyatts Covert CAMC Site - Iver Village.
