2014-08-03 - Wild Swimming at Dedham Vale

We should have been doing this today - very glad we moved the date. I had a very lovely afternoon - great company and perfect weather and, thanks to @Fox, a perfect route. Photos above are great - especially like the one of us mooching through the TT finish line, with the TTer giving a shy little wave.

I had the following thoughts for more rides.

I could do 17 August (short notice), 29 August (Friday - slackers ride), 30 August ... and that is pretty much it. I wondered about doing Oxford on one and, if we could squeeze another one in, maybe Seaford. I think @blowfish has first refusal on dates.

A few dodgy camera phone shots of mine here:

I can do all of those dates... 17th probably should be dissertation dependent but I was already contemplating a ride anyways =P

So far this is the top contender for ride of the summer.

ie infinite rep to KT (and fox for the route)

Cool - so shall we say 17th tentatively for Oxfordshire, and maybe Seaford after your dissertation. I'm still without Garmin - which isn't a problem for Oxfordshire, but I've never done Seaford before.

Any takers for this Sunday?

I can't do 17th but might well be up for 29th or 30th...

Ooooo

29 or 30 sounds good..

And im with DanYAL... Since its my only long ride, im glad its this one.

KT you can borrow my Garmin if you'd like?

17th is Herne Bay (swimming in the sea)?

Ahhh - well wouldn't want a clash. Let's do Oxfordshire on 30th - will start a new thread.

In the diary...

so, I was cycling home on some suburban back streets, no handed and doing some fine Broadway hand moves... didn't notice a woman putting rubbish out who stared at me hard as I went past... :/

Ha, awesome. I assume you weren't singing out, loud too?

nah just on-bike-dancing
