We went flying the power kite earlier. It’s not massive like some of them, but it’s good fun and you’ve really got to concentrate to avoid crashing it into the ground or falling over.

After 30 minutes of messing around figuring out how to fly the damn thing, we had it sussed and both me and Michael were doing stunts with it. Then it rained.

I’ll be going for a road ride in the morning. Nothing too big and fast cos I’ve got a date with Big Bad Fred next Sunday. I’ll probably just do the 40 miler over to Macc via the High Peak. Hopefully it’ll rain tomorrow whilst I’m out – I’ve never ridden these race tyres in the wet before and I’d prefer to have that particular mental hurdle out of the way before the race next week.
