Great to see your kids showing an interest!
Look out for some photos I’ll be posting from an event on the 7th. July, there may even be something similar to that crazy ladies machine in their book.
Out in Oxford on Tuesday, I had a day off, and thought I'd promote our Wallingford festival of cycling in the city of my birth, exactly 53 years after the event.
Took out the Rochester as a PR tool and rode around visiting all the cycle shops in town.
After doing that I thought I'd do a little sightseeing around town; You may think Oxford, with its student population, is a great place to cycle. It's certainly full of cyclists, but the infrastructure is pretty poor, sadly.
Still, it's a fabulous city, with beautiful buildings and streets.

Our little 'Bridge of Sighs'.....

I made a little detour off near the 'Camera' to capture an image of this doorway. My late maternal grandmother used to work behind this door when I was a little lad. These carvings are beautiful, I was terrified of them as a 3 year old, no longer as a 53 year old!

Beautiful day, a day of reflection and enjoyment.
Enjoy your rides folks, wherever you can.
