It was a miserably hot day on Saturday January 14 2017. So hot, I drove my car with the air conditioning on full blast to meet Graham T for a late breakfast.
After a while I went home and Graham T did some maintenance on his bike. Later in the afternoon he sent a text to say he was thinking about a ride. As the sea breeze was blowing strongly and there were tasks to be avoided, I said I'd meet him.

We rode anti clockwise around the route above. The early part was on the motorway so we could get moving fast in the hope of the cooling air. Much of the route from Sandgate to Scarborough was along the water's edge so we could reap the benefit of the se breeze. It was bloody hot, but better than I expected.
We stopped for a bottle of water at Scarborough where the day's one photo was taken.
After that, we turned around and rode home.
Aside from the never-ending pleasure of riding, the outing can be judged successful by the fact that the chores still haven't been done.
