25 March 2018 Macon

Clocks moved forward so an extra hour in bed? just got up later Ha Ha. Cycle this morning up the side of The Saone on the cycle MUD ops! path. Only half an hour at first had to come back and wash the bikes to get the mud off that took another half an hour, a coffee then cycled down to Macon avoiding mud!

An interesting piece of equipment on the side of the river dating from 1870 was an old flood defense mechanism I recognized it due to me having once dived on one at Naburn Lock Nr. York to inspect it. They are built on weirs to regulate the level of the water upstream, the higher the water the more gates they open.

Good cycle enjoyed wandering around the backstreets. Some of the empty shops here have the windows covered to make the town not look so drab a good idea.

Sunday NO BUSES anywhere around Macon so town was dead.
