Sunday snapshot

Two very unusual occurrences occurred today, and I’m not sure which warrants the bigger headline.

Headline 1 ~ I couldn’t find anyone on Strava that did the Red ride to Osea..! So I’ve had to rule them ‘Not Out’.

Jumping on the VAR bandwagon a bit I suppose, but who cares.

I know a few of Red opted to immerse themselves in Brown today given one of Barney’s regular Gravel rides took place. But I’d imagine brown muddy splashes would have been few and far between given the recent hot spell.

Headline 2 ~ I got change out of a fiver today at the Galleywood Heritage Centre for a bacon bap, lashings of brown sauce AND a mug of tea..!

Admittedly just the one £1 coin in the change but you’d easily pay double or even treble the price elsewhere.

The only drawback is you don’t get much time to burn those excess calories off on the short 8 mile ride back to Billericay. Although you could do Swan Lane twice if you were minded.

But you’d need to be mad or something for that to be your go to solution 🙃

I suppose given the cost of living crisis we’ve endured since Nixon took the dollar off of the Gold standard back in 1970 and along with it all the other currencies pegged to the US$, a headline 56 years or so in the making is probably the bigger one.
