"That's a good bell," said William after I called out "Hello!" to warn them of my approach.

The dogs are used to looks of amusement when their masters tell strangers their names.

A few days later and miles away I passed none other than Liz, wearing a tabard used by equestrians.

How to brighten up a gloomy Monday ride? I know – throw in a detour up and down a convenient nave. No fancy moving pictures, sorry.

First in quite a while.

I hadn't signed up, but Adrian didn't look too surprised to see me.

He told me Ditchling Beacon was off the menu. I kept my wailing and gnashing of teeth to myself.

The bike started making horrible noises early on. Turned out a water bottle was rubbing against the cage. Both went into a bus shelter bin. I had no sentimental attachment to the cage, a last minute addition as I normally chuck a bottle into my saddlebag.

The route has changed; there used to be a nice relatively traffic-free hill at (checks notes) (forgot to make notes). Somewhere in south London, or slightly beyond. Wherever it is, I miss you, hill.

I overdressed, overly concerned about those 4 a.m. chills. Ended up a sweaty mess. The end. Or is it just the beginning?
