Cycling weather good this week in April so a cycle was in order.,However, 2 days before the main cycle was successful I had some early warning signs reminding me always to check  the chain and gears and the handlebars.I just -literally just left the end of my road when I knew there was a problem with the handlebars --they were very loose------Fortunately that day I had for some reason decided to put the allan---key in the bag---good job because I have experienced loose handlebars before while on the Strawberry Line a few years ago---good learning curve because I identified the problem  immediately----but I also discovered that my cycling hat was loose as well and  that was weird because it was adjusted and  correctly for ages----yes weird  2 things at once---BUT then after a short cycle thru the village of Bleadon on a flat road with no  real strain or gear change on the  road---the CHAIN broke---well it was a long walk back to WSM pushing the bike---BUT I got it fixed  at a local shop and then I got back on my bike and headed off 2 days later on this cycle-------I -still think its weird that THREE things were affected at the same time---very weird---The Gods  and Guardian Angels looked out for me I guess.....Anyway folks the cycle was beautiful with the perfect conditions for me--wind speed about 5/6, no rain and blue skies and relatively quiet traffic on the country lanes----later  as shown on videos to follow I travel for a while on the Strawberry Line------where the old steam trains once puffed along carrying passengers/ visitors to Cheddar and to pick up the strawberries and  cheddar cheeses...Anyway, More to follow folks for dedicated fans, insomniacs, the Americans, the Russians and others located in hidden parts of the Planet and may be  Outer Space--may be one day MARS----------SOUND & VISION folks as stressed by David Bowie--my visual diary--a record in Time & Space---and my 'Living Family Tree Experiences'  x
