@CB_cycles I took my stoker for a ride and left her looking after the tandem in the shade while I had a cool down in the air conditioned shop. I know how to look after her 😂 and not leave her in the sun that’s the stoker as well as the bike. (I will be in trouble now)

@CB_cycles I changed the pads.

[tandem bristol @Calais2Nice]

@CB_cycles That’s great news. I’m struggling with no braking on the rear trp cable to hydraulic unit. Changed fluid twice today making sure no air bubbles, still rubbish. Both cylinders working. First for me booked into local bike shop to sort. 16 July first avail date. Not short of a bike!

Well the Met Office suggest a 39% chance of rain. We are still going with a thunderstorm which has lasted at least 30 minutes and still going with tropical storm type rain.

@ajdc123 You wouldn’t be going out in Somerset it’s unbearably hot. Hoping for a short ride later this evening.

[tandem bristol @Calais2Nice]

@CB_cycles Enjoy.

[tandem bristol @Calais2Nice]

@CB_cycles We had a good ride and a great cake stop at the Bentley Road Baker.

@Fitz90MARK It’s the taking part that counts. Well done.

[tandem bristol @Calais2Nice]

[tandem bristol @Calais2Nice]

@CB_cycles I saw the heading and thought what bike has he bought. How disappointing. 😂

@BrittanyFerries great positive email by the CE received this evening. We have enjoyed travelling with BF for over 45 years and we have two more trips this year having already been once this year in March when we visited Versailles. Keep the positivity!

This was supposed to be a beautiful view from the top of the Mendips. Very windy but been lucky with the direction of the wind so far. Scary steep descent. Buy one get one free at coffee stop. My story. En route to 100+km today.

[tandem bristol @Calais2Nice]

@CB_cycles It’s never a failure!

[tandem bristol @Calais2Nice]

@cyclist_andyc All cleaned ready for the next ride.

[tandem bristol @Calais2Nice]

@CB_cycles We went all the way and it was brutal. We followed a big group up Dundry and found we went up the wrong hill. It was brutal. I then had 5 miles home with a direct headwind.
