Tour

– We were lucky with the rain today.
– Yes. There were enough sunny spells to do a bit of gardening.

– Wimbledon?
– No, the cycling. Le Tour de Yorkshire. Quite inspiring to see the mighty peleton soaring over the lush green hills and dales, doing their best to avoid stray sheep spray-painted yellow, and spectators falling off dry stone walls.

– Yes... To tell the truth, I'm not so good with hills. It's something about the gradient that doesn't quite suit my riding style.
– That's a pity, living where you do. Perhaps with practice.
– Perhaps.
