Feeble ride today. Massive wind building from the west so we decided to go east-ish. This time with my son Jasper on board. We thought about doing a circuit of Richmond Park but frankly the wind up there would have been brutal, so we did a circuit of Bushy Park instead. Iain giving J some tuition in riding in a group, and me slowing down to lead him while Alfie and Steve rode ahead in their own conversation. It's actually quite fun training the lad, rather than flogging it with the speedsters as usual. Then to the Bloated Mallard for a very early drink, or three. My daughter Phoebe was serving behind the bar so between us the Gaunt family owned the bar. Much banter and bloke talk, of course. About 10pm we left, in the rain, and J and I rode a whole mile home. Not even broke sweat once, so no need for a shower then.
