#August150, chirruping baby and some rain...

Oh yea, some rain indeed. It just added to the fun of the weekend though! Had the awning out on the side of the camper so our fellow holiday makers (mother-in-law, father-in-law/riding partner and ermm, granddad in law?) could join us in the dry and relative peace (it was blowing a gale and it is basically a cheap tent clamped to a van).
Still barbequing outside in the rain was tricky but a quick deployment of their wind out awning (you know wind as in turn not wind as in blowing, don't you just love English?) gave a large enough wind shadow to allow some cooking.

Over the weekend I managed a couple of rides, one hot lap (for me) of Rutland water and a gentle pootle with the trailer and baby in tow. Both enjoyable in their own way :-)

So that has added another 27.7 miles to my #August150 total but on August the 24th with only a few days before I really should rest before Kielder the missing, er, 64.6 miles may prove tricky to squeeze in.

Still, will have lost 14 days to illness and "tapering" and got some decent miles in otherwise so not the end of the world, and it is my birthday tomorrow, and Wednesday night ride day so it's all good :-)

Oh, the chirruping baby? That is this one...

...who was chattering away with me at the start of this post and is now fast asleep, holding her (very proud and happy) dads hand.
