Not slacking, just away ...

Since you ask I am in Rye where it's truly the summer - people really are swimming in the sea - but where there are few bikes. I have noticed the occasional sturdy mountain bike cruising down to the beach, and there does seem to be a new bike route between Rye and Camber Sands, little used. It's definitely not the biker's paradise I saw on the Isle of Wight. Anyway, I'm not sorry to be out of the London heat, but slightly missing the Giant. Or possibly I should start calling it LCM - the London Commuting Machine. Perhaps not. Of course, just as I write about the lack of bikes in Rye, one whistles down the main high street right by my ear! KC
