Adventures In Modern Cycling No. 11: With Linda...

Linda wants to go for a bike ride. Where shall we go..?
Fontwell Race Course Car Boot Fair via the Barnham Link Cycle Way seems like a good idea (even though it's closed for re-surfacing)...
It's one of those sunny autumn days where everything seems to be in sharp focused full colour...
I make a purchase at the boot fair...
Dynamo and front lamp for a quid..!
It works as well. Bonus...!
We then meander through leafy country lanes toward the Aldingbourne Country Centre for coffee and cake (or a Cornish pasty in Linda's case) and a quick wander round the nature trail to look at the empty bird boxes...
On to Slindon to view the pumpkin/marrow display...
I'm not at all impressed by pumpkins and shall stick to carving out a turnip (well, a swede) to keep the evil spirits at bay and speak it wisdom to me during All Hallows' eve..
Linda is happy...

Sounds like you and the lovely Linda had a great day out on two wheels!

We'd love to get back on our bikes but our tubbyness kind of prohibits. Maybe once we've "cut down a little" we'll get back in the saddle :-)

Ta Muchly for reminding me of the Swede carving thing. When I was growing up it was a family tradition, something that I think needs to be revived this year! :-)
