Walk to the pub.

More fudge ingredients required.

Much more friendly this morning.

Either sums up the journey home nicely.

One for Sir Tom Moore the lockdown hero who made crazy activities acceptable, just cos lockdown is over for now the craziness must continue.
Now the numbers which are important.
1 supportive wife, very important, even better when they make you Coffee, bacon sarnies and Cheese toasties.
1 Idiot on a bike
1 gear used 
1 Free Le Col jersey, unless they try to wriggle out.
1 First time Everest has been achieved in Suffolk
1 sore arse
1 scary moment with a car
2 Everest's completed. One on bike, one on foot which was way way harder
2 ruined knees.
2 rain storms
3 changes of tops
4 Gallons of coffee and tea drunk plus Red Bull and Lucozade and a considerable amount of water
8.7 vertical metres of gain per rep, so no excuses for not being able to do it. 
25 scared dog walkers
25 scared car drivers at the junction 
50 odd looks
100 yards the furthest I got from the house
1104 car park laps, possibly a record amount of reps for a bike Everest
1,000,000 calories consumed
