I've not been doing long rides this year due to health issues. My cycling consists of rides to the town beach here in Bristol where I indulge in reading a book and people watching. I am surprised that some people planning to enjoy a relaxing day by the water with their kids and families come loaded down with a variety of amenities and implements, sometimes requiring two trips to their car to haul everything down by the water. I've actually seen one family wheel down an industrial sized grill of the type you would need in feeding a Roman Legion.

People watching also consists of seeing the lovely and shapely females in their nearly not there bikinis. I hold that those "garmets" cover less skin than my face mask. No complaints, mind you. I believe in freedom of expression.
