Excellent Day - Benson Vintage Cycle Rally
Excellent day today,warm but not too hot, helped by a fair bit of cloud. Cycled out to watch the Benson Vintage Cycle Rally with a couple of colleagues from work covering 62 miles in total. Some of the vintage cycles on display were superb in particular a number of Penny Farthings, Bone Shakers and Dursley Pedersons, refer to photos.

Returned home to watch Cavendish sprint to glory in the 2nd stage of the Tour De France, what a finish !!

Ah-ha - so that's what was wrong with my 305! Garmin replaced though, no trouble. I confess for a fondness for paper maps, and since finding these on the Dunwich Dynamo, they are my favourite touring maps, with a map carrier velcroed to the bars.
