A steady waltz around the moors

I've had a very civilised outing with Liz this morning on our bikes - a loop round the back of the moor.  I'm not sure she'd describe it in exactly the same manner as it's her first hilly outing for some time.  But, we took it slowly and no-one had to get off!

My hamstring benefited from the steady pace too, and actually felt remarkably good when I woke up - possibly after yesterday's canine hydrotherapy!

We were supposed to be going out for dinner tonight with friends but sadly, their dog was put down this morning.  With more sad news about my school friend's dad with a tumour on his spine, it seems right to focus on the moment and on the positives of a fine day out shared with a very good friend.
