Charlie is correct in what he wrote, this was a lovely day with wonderful autumn views and all the superlatives that could be needed were indeed present.  It is just so difficult to enjoy what can be seen when your back tyre is constantly going down.  As if to confirm the aged state of Charlie’s bike we get to hear what the tyre size was – wait for it, 28″ in diameter by one and three eighth inches in width.  A butchers bike wheel if ever there was one !!
