Saturday 7th July – Bike **** Viking Trail, Tunstall Forest – sunny and
hot :)
10 miles covered, 1 hour 5 minutes out, 15.55 knot max speed.
Another good night at Sandgalls carpark at the start of the Viking Mountain
Bike Trail, sunny start and soon warming up, will this lovely weather ever
come to an end???? Both did our exercises, then breakfast and it was
surprisingly quiet with only a few mountain bikers and one trailer with
horses plus some dog walkers taking their dogs out when it was way too
hot:( I was keen to give the trail one more go before we went home but Mag
was not keen so stayed in the van. After two hot days on the bike I was a
little tired but soon got going in the shade of the beautiful forest and
whizzed around in 1 hour 5 minutes which I was pleased with considering how
hot it was! Mag made one of her lovely salads then we packed up and headed
the 22 miles home. With a phone signal now, David Coles said he was going
to try windsurfing The Manor as it had picked up yesterday afternoon so I
dropped in there on the way home. It looked light and onshore a good
Formula day but I decided to give it a try, anything other than watch
another dull football match! We quickly unloaded the van and I headed down
to The Dip as it was easier to park. The onshore wind looked very light but
I rigged 9.4 for my longboard, dozed on the beach then listened to the
second half of the England game before packing up and heading home without
getting wet! Even David on his foil didn’t get going which makes you
think that you can get going in under 8 knots seem a bit of an
exaggeration? So still not sure if I want a foil or not???? Checked Ernie
and we are not millionaires just another £25 still can’t complain:)
