Thursday: On the Final Straight!

Thursday - another day at the Mountain Biking Circuit at Hadleigh Farm which was previously a country park overlooking the Thames Estuary about 10 miles from Southend.  At least I do now know how to get there; ignoring the sat nav as necessary.  Yesterday the weather was wonderful and I also found my way to the track as you can see from the photos.  On the way back we even managed to find a cycle shop where we could buy a new sadle - the previous one having been destroyed in a crash.  The mountain biking is the last event of the Games although we do still have a man in the marathon.  We are now acting as tour guides in the main with one  of my colleagues going to Stonehenge yesterday and another sorting out a trip to the Tate Modern and the British Museum.
