Sunset tonight was 16:04 here. A the moment we're losing about 1 min 15s of afternoon daylight per day, but that's slowing down. By 5th December, sunset gets earlier by less than 30 seconds each day.

The earliest sunset here will be on 13th December. The sun sets 4 seconds later the next day.

Quote from: Slim on November 20, 2024, 06:05:28 PMI don't know how many people read these

I read them, I like reading all of this. That I never respond is mostly due to the fact I do not cycle so have little to add. But I do enjoy reading these, as I do all the cyclist stories on here.

A very cold day, about 1C. But sunny. I hoped I could tolerate the temperature long enough for 40km or so. I thought I'd do a shortish version of the Twycrosser.

Well, when I actually got out there, I found that the conditions were more than tolerable. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be quite an enjoyable ride. Bright sunshine helps a lot. Actually really nice out there.

So I did a Twycrosser, with a brief excursion down the Dad's Army route (maybe I should stop calling it that? I don't know how many people read these but no doubt some find it baffling). I turned at Old Grendon, but instead of continuing the usual loop to the east and back up, I just went back up exactly the way I'd come down. An - if you will - Double Half Twycrosser.

Took the pic near Alton Hill and annoyingly, I got mud and snow stuck in my right cleat so it wouldn't clip in properly, which made the hill more of a challenge than usual.

Back before sunset. I could have stayed out longer. I did have lights. But my thumbs and toes were starting to get a bit cold. It had been a nice ride. I didn't want to spoil it.



Back on 58.93. It's looking like I might be able to match last year's distance total, 10321k. Depends what the weather's like in December. 9582 done in 2024 so far.

Listened to more of Boris Johnson's Unleashed. Right up there with Pete Townshend's book as one of the best memoirs I've ever read. Or listened to.

Yes, a good watch, watched it whilst eating my lunch.
From what I've read elsewhere, Gilmour seems to be a bit more chatty and open these days.
