What started off as a beautiful summer ride this afternoon ended in torrential downpours. Before the rain hit it was a beautiful ride along deserted Cheshire lanes, through Tatton Park, Middlewich, Northwich, Wilmslow and Styal. A recommended loop.
My longest ever single ride. All I need to do is to average those distances every day on the way to Paris in 4 weeks time.... Simple!.(?).
So it's with great excitement that the phenomenal organisation that is Hyper Island now has it's first UK school up and running in the basement of our Neighbourhood HQ in the NQ.
Their first 'cohort' of students (or Hypernauts) has enrolled this week onto the pilot course - you can read more on The Guardian blog.

Loving the opening track on Lamb's new album 5.
Really enjoyed their recent gig at Manchester Cathedral. Great music in a perfect environment.
Spotted on the train today.... Regrettably not wearing sports casual, or the tie and blazer combination pack, but he was sporting a rather fetching flat cap.....
Which reminded me of some of this absolute comedy genius - "Cruiser Arriviste!"..... Enjoy!
I'm missing the mountains........
105km in fact.... Chris and I upped the ante a little today with a beautiful ride through Cheshire to Jodrell Bank, a place that still holds a sense of wonderment and magic from my childhood. I'll never forget a school visit where we came away with some ticker tape from the radio telescope, convinced that we were holding a record of a conversation with aliens!
Not sure I'm going to be walking straight tomorrow.
Really enjoying Thomas Wrede's photography and his book 'Anywhere'. Recommended.
