No bike riding just too hot

Posted by Allan Campbell on June 17, 2022, 10:52:49

No ridden bike since last Sunday and that was a 24 miler.

Thank goodness I took an extra drinks bottle, I needed it.

All the Bars etc. had closed at 12 noon and only open late afternoon. My error which could have been dodgy yin the heat.

It’s in the high 30’s C and today may be 43C. So just having a rest and reading. Reading a book every 2-3 days. Read over 20 so far. Got a stock still to read and swap when I can.

Looking forward to a temp drop on Sunday to mid 20’s.

Have you tried getting a book from your local library onto your phone or ipad. Most in the UK (inc N Yorks) use the Borrowbox App. Free download. Free use.
It saves a lot of faff and very useful when you are away from home.
I cant remember the last time I read a "print" book !!!

For Mac

I had taken out my library card from my wallet as the WiFi on the campsites tend to be iffy so you could be part way through and not get the next batch or part of the story.

I always bring sufficient books to last 4-6 weeks and pickup and drop as I go along. With 15 days to go before I’m home I have enough to se me through and more.

I prefer paper books but buy at charity shops, the only new books are Normans os a special one.

The temp. on the car gauge was 39C coming out of the supermarket car park at 16.00 bit warm.
