And then, I found this. :lol:
So the answer seems to be, less formal than a posh suit, with knickerbockers. And a hat. Must always have a hat!

Only a guinea for a complete outfit, that's a good deal?

Too right !

Well, I did 1hr39min today, saw the sunset and finished in the twilight.
That's 3 rides over the Christmas/ New Year break. Let's hope i can continue reasonably well through January while it gets a bit lighter.
Today was a bit cool but very fine after a couple of really wet days. The hills looked very good with the low light and the winter colours. The valley was flooded (no surprise) on the way back across to Denbigh, lots of nice reflections.

That's probably on the high end of what someone with Fibromyalgia can do, Dave !

I'm concerned about the potential challenge from Mike in 2023 though, 'specially now he's putting on his shoes and socks...

I'm a little concerned that Ray is now 67.6 miles above the earth's surface.
