- 13 May: I never tire of this view - it's always worth the 7-mile ride
- Went to see Jeff Koons today. Not in person, obviously.
- 6 May: things always look better when viewed from the top of a hill (in this instance, even motorways)
- 4 May: this bench is dedicated to Paul Fakes (1971 - 2015). I have no idea who he is (or was), but I was happy to spend half an hour with him while I ate my picnic lunch.
- 1 May: it's a long, long time since I last saw my favourite tree
- 27 April: the third mass ride in Winchester - another great success. With apologies to the tiny handful of truly belligerent motorists for invading your tarmac. We're not going away though, no matter how much you shout and swear.
- 25 April: further on up that river. In other news: I've finally completed my migration from iPhone to Android. It's not recommended for the faint hearted, but I'll tell you what: I'm quids in! And no more battery anxiety.
- 23 April: on its way to an annual service - via the scenic route
- 22 April: the track most travelled
