I am visiting my mother and my brother’s house for a few nights. Brother Guy was kind enough to lend me his bike for a spot of training this morning (2 hours). Norfolk has very many fewer hills than NE Scotland, and has lots of quite high hedges – ideal for reducing wind. His bike has already done the Lands End to John O’Groats run and is much lighter than mine, so training down the lanes was quite easy! There are also a few more migrant birds in here than in Aberdeenshire, and we added Muntjac deer to my “seen while training” list.
