A fine day today allowed my friend Mark Goodall and I to do our regular bicycle circuit of the Trundle. Over the top of Goodwood horse racing course where we foundthe annual inter club hill climb on Knights Hill. A category 4 gradient was conquered in a remarkable three minutes and 12 seconds by a young lad on his lightweight bike. Meanwhile the sushi sunday event down at the motor racing circuit reflected the priorities of the generations of guys who think the world of their Japanese cars. I wandered around both events and was struck by the contrast between these modes of transport and their interdependence. Apparently, a tankful of petrol (50 litres) could meet the energy needs of the average home for over 5 years. Similarly, driving from Lands End to John O'Groats would burn more Oxygen than a person would consume in a lifetime.

Another life altering weekend getting pretty close to being an intellectual. Without the help of my friends I wouldn't have the courage to get out of my lazy bed and sleep in a field. Thankfully, because of their support I did attend debates and watch performers in the most intimate atmosphere. Thank you to the IAI and everyone who got out of their comfort zone to entertain like-minded types.
