Finishing back where I started, back on the 22nd June. Altogether on this ride, I've ticked off 728km in 2 and a bit days. Think I might have a rest now.

FINALLY. After a few days short of a whole year since putting our house on the market, tomorrow is moving day. Stunned by how professionally & rapidly two chaps from our movers packed up our entire 3 bed house (we did little prep - washing was still in the machine this morning)

Most especially my workshop/bike room! Took all of 10 mins...

Well this is not the holiday we had planned... On our first full day we dabbled around the lake. Noting the contamination, everyone was very careful to clean up properly after. Child 2 however still has succumbed to severe sickness. Now 3.5 days in and no improvement...

Mother Thames looking particularly moody, late morning today... In the shadow of the Dartford crossing, not that you'd know!

"Proper" cycle commute today... Officially a lycra-clad, road bike riding, backpack wearing commuter again (infrequently, around once a week... Otherwise Brompton)

I'm normally very supportive of our local press but this is weak journalism at best. Singular focus on one side of a single factor in a much wider story. No mention of the numerous bus routes which get folk closer to the shops than the MSCP did, and for cheaper. 1/2

The car park was never the problem. It's a convenient excuse. Retail is nervous with a pending redevelopment of the shopping centre & unwilling to commit to leases. Nevertheless, blaming the car park is wrong & missing the point. Wouldn't hurt to highlight the alternatives, tho.

I guess when they grow up surrounded by bikes and see me going everywhere by bike (or on foot), it's no great surprise that a little over three years old, child 2 has got it sussed. All clicked into place today πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜Ž

Nip out for a lunch stroll and end up stuck waiting to cross Tower Bridge as it opens and then diverted for a 62-gun salute. Fairly standard #LondonProblems 🀦

Chap got on the train this morning, sat down and got out Tolstoy's War and Peace and started reading from the beginning and I cannot think of a worse way to start Monday morning...
