After that they ...

Haha, yes in the last two weeks the traffic has properly kicked off. I'm keeping a leaderboard of cars queuing behind bikes, we've had 18 on the Milford road and 23 on the Lymington road. Keeps me entertained. :crazy:

I'm halfway between you and Bournemouth. Does the weather tend to skirt around the Ageas bowl due to its position?

Re: UK is melting
