| The Pinfield Phantom |
After months of little cycling, eating decent grub for short spells only, then slipping back into dodgy foods, plus only an occasional run, last week finally felt like me again. I hit 170 km on the bike — split between Eleven (now upgraded to Di2, sweet) and my trusty PXE, the Dolan Fixie. Even managed a spin on what’s pretty much the original TROAD route, first time in yonks. Rode with Phantom once; a bug zipped under his jacket but no drama, no “crow of death” situation there. (Poor Moo got stung by something nasty but she’s all good, no major reaction).

Ran about 34 km, mostly with Ernie—thinking of keeping these early morning runs up while motivation’s high. Found fresh trails leading to Coughton Court and new terrain round the Uppy-Downey area. Ate reasonably well—definitely room for improvement but can’t have it all, can we? With all this trail running, reckon my current kicks won’t cut it much longer. Time to track down a new pair.

Took a trip with SJ and kids, along with Kim, (and met up with Aunty Chris and some of our fellowship), to Cotswold Wildlife Park for a cracking day out. It was blisteringly hot but well worth it. The giraffes weren’t nearly as pongy as I remember — still not winners in the aroma stakes but less offensive than expected. Proper family adventure, naughty kids and exploding melon.
