Finding it difficult to take my body temperature tests twice a day, for the14 days I’m in quarantine, with the digital thermometer supplied by the ASQ Legacy Hotel in Bangkok. I thought I would work out some instructions. None were supplied and I have led such a sheltered life. I have never needed to take […]
Using the excellent Chrome Elevate for Strava extension I have now produced this pretty chart. As you can see my cycling distance is now down 1,537 miles from the same date in 2018, meaning if I’m to do the same mileage as last year I have to now pedal 6,374 miles in the remaining 188 […]

So we moved had a brisker pace and had fewer shorter stops than we are accustomed to with The Cambridge Rambling Club […]
