It has pull-up windows that just stop where you leave them. Not much foot room for the passenger.

Little run out today through town, the sign is over the town hall, flowers obscuring part of the borough inscription!

These red hot pokers caught my eye but it was not painful.

Whatever happened to the milkman ? Making the cows pull the wagon as well as producing the milk is cruel. Where is PETA when you need them?

Out in the wood trails I found this, rather a pretentious name for such a humble residence I thought...

I’m fine thank you. Think you made the right decision.

I think this goose could use some prophylactics. I count about 24 goslings and only one mama.

A few photos from yesterday. 39.5km.
All pictures except for the last one, the sculpture, are shot just after the 15km mark on the map. Stopped for a break (first pic) and had coffee and a roll. The sculpture or art work is outside a water authority works.

Nice afternoon but my neck problems are starting to be a real problem for longer rides. Already after 30-40 minutes my lower neck or upper back starts aching. Turns into a burning pain. Started feeling this during rides late summer last year. Have to find a solution for it.
Edit
I meant to post this in the thread ”Our rides ... ”

Sounds like you might need to change your bars or add a riser to somehow get a more upright riding position?

Yeah you may be right about that. Sometimes changes doesn’t need to be very big to make a difference. Strange thing is that I can’t remember this neck problem from my first year with a Vado.
I’ll have someone at Specialized Concept store look at my posture ( is that the correct word?) next Monday when I leave my bike for check up and adjustments. They don’t do complete bike fit for the moment as it doesn’t comply with the recommended distancing.
