Mildenhall today.

Just got back from a day spent at Mildenhall Rally. Timed it right, because as
soon as we got home, the heavens opened and there has been a short period of
mucho rain, thunder & lightning. The stall where I got my Look shoes (trainer
boot type) with the cleat recessed into the sole so they are walkable in, was
there again. I grabbed his last two pairs. At £5 a pair for leather trainers
complete with cleats, I was not going to miss out. So I am now well-kitted out
for a few years of use I think, as the ones I bought last year (at same price
IIRC) are still going strong. As the cleat is recessed into the sole it wears
very little. I also treated myself to a new winter jersey.

Vernon & Nathan did much oohing & aahing over some of the bikes on the Fat
Birds Don't Fly stand. I drooled over the various Trice bents, dropping yet
more unsuccessful blatant hints to Vernon about the merits of me having a
Trice. I shall have to start some serious nagging.

Enjoyed the day, but felt that the trade stands didn't seem to have as much on
offer as last year.

Cheers, helen s

Went today as well with family.  Place was heaving with people - maybe
the Bank Holiday effect.  Got some waterproof trousers for the girls'
school field trip for a fiver and took family for a spin on the Trice
tandems - starting to sow the seeds.  They thought it was great fun.
Highly amused by the sometimes partisan race commetary.

Left and went on for a quick run round the black route in Thetford and
just finished in time before the heavens opened.  Now back with a nice
hot cup of tea to see 178 posts waiting - guess some people stayed in
this pm.

Not me, Guv.  Took S&H and Pater to Hendon RAF museum, and jolly good it
was, too.  Than came back to find that Mum had bought even more things
for me to fix on her walls...
