OT; a lovely day

Well I have had a truly lovely day on the bike. Did a couple of jaunts,
about 40 miles in total. Went to the local CTC meet this morning and this
evening, as it was Nathan's club TT this evening, I had my bike on the back
of the car - watched Nathan (& Vernon) do the TT and then I cycled home.

It has been glorious. Not too hot. Gentle breeze. Courteous motorists for
the most part. The countryside is green and lush, wildlife in abundance.
This morning I passed a little owl sat atop a telegraph pole. This evening,
as I cycled into the village, a barn owl flew alongside me for a while. Then
there were the usual bunnies in abundance, but this evening there was an
additional abundance of hares. Coming round a bend, a hare was sat in the
middle of the road and he decided it would be fun to run ahead of me in the
lane for a good hundred yards. Lovely. Then the deer... and the pheasants.
And I was met at the front door by a certain black lady cat who came running
to meet me and greeted me with loads of purrs and headrubs.

Quite, quite lovely.

Nice!

My company just announced they will be giving cycling jerseys to
people who ride their bikes to work 12 times this summer.

That does, indeed, sound lovely! Living in the city, my views of wildlife
are limited to the occasional squirrel in the back yard, a few birds, and
the mice, rats and birds Nanki-Poo considerately brings inside for me to
see. ;-)

BTW, what is TT? As a Toastmaster, I thought of Table Topics, but I suspect
that isn't what you meant.

My guess is "time trial", a form of bike race.

Sounds idyllic! I am currently looking about me for a bike more in
keeping with my middle-agedness than my lovely ten-speed Peugeot
racer, which I've had since I was a teenager. It was the last word in
cool when I was a kid, and served me well many years, but I'm getting
a little tired of riding bent over.
