Lost in Thought

Mynyddd Bodafon circuit

We did a bike ride today, planned and navigated by Gill as part of her recovery from her aortic valve replacement, She told the surgeon she wanted to get back to doing 35km rides without distress and today's was almost 36 so that counts as a success!  She was doing 35+ with the old valve, before she knew it was duff.  Not a quick ride as this was more about building confidence, and she has decided most of our rides come with a midday mishap, today this was her chain coming off just on the steepest hill.  Thankfully, no damage done and we managed to get the chain free and back on the gears.  Latex gloves a great help as it was wedged in quite tightly between the chain-ring and motor housing :-)

This was our lunch stop,  just after the chain incident and at what was probably the high point of the ride: Mynyddd Bodafon.

We might return to the beach at Benllech tomorrow for an easy day as there is a good cafe and a very good beach.

Here on Strava if you are keen and have an account.

Many thanks for the continued visits, comments awards - all much appreciated.   Connectivity here has improved to 'variable' we managed to stream about half of an episode of The Team (Euro police drama) on All4 last night ... then it all went rather weird fish.
