Overtaken today on the steepest ascent by a woman who was probably the same age as my mum. Or maybe it was Anna Hughes of ‘Eat, Sleep, Cycle’ fame’s mother. Either way I hope I’m still spinning the spokes at an equivalent age and an equivalent pace uphill. Helmets’s off to her! Oh and I saw my first ever snake out of doors today, it was exploded road kill but it was a snake nonetheless. Whether it was indiginous I don’t know and it’s not saying.
