We had a dreadful yellow Bultaco trials bike for a bit, it took three people to start it.

Went out in the ludicrous heat, took the train one stop to reduce my exposure.
Had the luckiest Drone circle in the woods, it missed every tree by inches.
At Ainsdale three coach loads of Orthodox jews turned up and all marched in two a breast single file to beach, the men reading the bible?, the women all wearing blue and white horzontal striped dresses, all identical, from grandmas to toddlers and matching bonnets.
Everyone just stood and watched them go by, I said to a woman nearby.
'Its like the handmaids tale'.
'Absolutely she replied'.

I got back on my bike today, it’s been a while, and rode about 14 miles. A typical picture of where I ride, cows, soybeans and corn. Sometimes it’s hard to make time to ride. My daughter has been looking for a house and it’s 3 1/2 hour drive one way to help her look, projects around the house and other daily stuff.

Culinary Rides 
I eventually somehow realized I could ride after work and not waste the warm Summer
Monday
Just before 18:00, I messaged Tommy I would be riding to "Fregata" in Warsaw for supper. He agreed with me it was a swell idea
I rode my Roadrunner really fast. Here, the highest building in the EU.
I rode for 25 km in 59 minutes net, 66 minutes gross, meaning, I wasted only 7 minutes for red lights etc. It was a fast ride as for me!
Hungarian Pancake was too big for me on that evening! (Do I need to mention the Hungarian Pancake is a Polish invention?)
The townhall had built a MUP bridge over the Czerniakowski Harbour, opened then immediately closed it by September! It is a bridge every Warsaw cyclist was craving for!
I rode very fast with traffic in the Far Aleje both ways and trust me, it is a joy reserved for a few cyclists who dare riding Road 719. Well, it is "my" highway Been riding the Aleje since 1990, and was even riding that highway on my moped when I was just 18 (Riding an S-Pedelec fast on the highway is good both for me and for the drivers).
Tuesday
I decided to have Cold Soup in Caffe Italiano for the supper on the day.
Despite its name, Lithuanian Cold Soup is a purely Polish invention. The owner and the cook in one person at Caffe Italiano (I think he is a Polonised Italian) is a culinary genius. No one of my friends has ever seen the Cold Soup in such an intensive colour, and I don't think the man is adding any artificial colour. Fancy having a delicious cold soup on a hot Summer evening!
Statue of Narcissus in Potulicki Park in Pruszków. Our 60,000 county city has as many as four parks and becomes more and more beautiful!
Bodenheim Ponds in Tworki Park (the park is huge!)
The city has built a long and beautiful Educational Path along River Utrata. (I even didn't know it had been created!) The path is popular among cyclists and dog-walkers.
One of several bridges across the Utrata.
Turns out, the city has already managed to build a whole series of interconnected gravel MUPs almost reaching the place I live! I need to explore more!

Never saw anything edible that purple outside of some kids' candies. Does the color come from beets?

Yes, red beet stems. Recipe: not sure how good. Tomorrow, I'm having Pizza Campagnolo
Well, Campagnola

Today I rode out to Orleans attempting to ride the OSV (Over Sand Vehicle) paths. Off road motor vehicles pay for a permit to be able to drive their vehicles out there and stay for the day. No overnight camping. I read through all of the regulations but there was nothing about bicycles, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, they would not let me ride my bike on the OSV paths. They had no good reason, just no. I think it might have something to do with the $420/year they charge non-residents for the privilege. Anyway, here are a few shots of Nauset Beach. It used to have the largest shark warning sign on the Cape, 8ft.x16ft, but somebody stole it and now they have the standard sign. It's the southernmost beach on the National Seashore, and very popular because of this. It is also the entry point for the Orleans OSV path.
If you look closely, you can see the tall lifeguard stand in the distance. This gives them a good view of sharks close to the shore. In Chatham, about 10 miles away as the crow files, about 50,000 seals live there at last count. Seals are the favorite food of great white sharks. Humans are way down on the list.
On the way back, I passed one of my favorite breweries on the Cape. They still brew everything in-house and do not co-pack. They were recently bought out by Mayflower Brewery in Plymouth, who has the same philosophy.
It seems to be very popular with the e-bike crowd.
I don't drink and ride, or I would have stopped in for an Outermost IPA, their flagship brew.

Grab some carbs at the brewery, man!!!!
Nice. Thanks for sharing those pix of Orleans. Jeez, they were bothering you on a Wednesday? Unbelievable.
