Third weekend running in Suffolk as I had to pick our ancient 205 up from having miraculously passed its MOT. Took my bike on the train to Ipswich then cycled 31 miles of back roads to Yoxford, following the pylons. Fantastic weather, so went to Walberswick with the folks, our Sharon and Eleanor, and had another dip in the North Sea. Some bloke rode his horse bareback into the water - you don't see that everyday. Hope it didn't have a piss while it was there, as I was swimming uptide from it. I don't mind doing the breaststroke in radioactive effluent but I draw the line at equine urine. The rest of the Dye clan went off for a week in Wales this morning so I cycled around the W's before heading back for London - Westleton, Walpole and Wenhaston, home to the amazing 15th century Doom painting in St Peter's Church - check out T-Lo's blog for another pic. Had the i-pod on while cycling the quieter roads and can recommend the following for getting the pedals going:
Lets Make Love and Listen to Death From Above - CSS
The Beauty of the Ride - Sebadoh
Run Run Run - The Who
Chicken Dog - Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Ca Plane Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrand
Tunic (Song for Karen) - Sonic Youth
Safe European Home - The Clash
Problem Child - AC/DC
Dr Bucks' Letter - The Fall
Police Car - Larry Wallis
Still on the cycling theme, it was with mixed feelings that I heard of Alan Lee's brace of goals in Ipswich Town's 4 - 1 season opening victory over Sheffield Wednesday. During the week he'd hospitalised a cyclist with his Porsche, the twatter.

"Infatuate and half-fond they rode into the red demise of that day across the bloodlands of the west and into the distant pandemonium of the sun...."
