NO BEACH TONIGHT! WENT OUT ON I CYCLE RIDE. IT WAS I RIDE I FIRST DID MANY MANY MANY YEARS AGO OF THE VILLAGES SCATTERED AROUND HARTLEPOOL. THERE ARE SOME STEEP CLIMBS, SO I WAS GLAD OF A CHOICE OF GEARS. MY THOUGHTS WENT BACK TO A CHILDHOOD FRIEND WHO USED TO DO THIS RIDE WITH A RALEIGH CHOPPER... WITH THE LIMITED RANGE OF THREE GEARS. |
