MORE RIB TICKLING FUN
If you’re wondering why I didn’t reply to your emails on Wednesday, it’s because I was sweating like a Council Employee after the Election half way up a hill in Afan, Welshland. Six of us spent the day there, and five and a half of us came back. I managed to leave a large proportion of my skin on a rock coming through the appropriately named ‘Graveyard’. If you’re going through that section and see a hairy rock, say hello. I’ve damaged my ribs for the second time in 6 months, but the good news is that this time it’s on video. Oh joy.

MOJITO
A brilliant Bank Holiday weekend drink. Ride responsibly, and drink fast. Thanks to Nigella.
INGREDIENTS

1 teaspoon sugar
1 lime cut into four wedges
4 mint leaves
1 sprig of mint
2 ounces Rum
2 ounces club soda
Place the mint leaves into a long mojito glass (often called a “collins” glass) and squeeze the juice from a cut lime over it. You’ll want about two ounces of lime juice, so it may not require all of the juice from a single lime. Leave the lime wedges in the glass. Add the sugar, then gently smash the mint into the lime juice and sugar with a muddler. Or a stick. Add ice (preferably crushed) then add the rum and stir, and top off with the club soda. Garnish with a mint sprig.
