QR codes (as I'm sure we all know) a special type of bar code that directs the 'reader' to a webpage. I have seen it used all over the place - in advertising for example you can save the scan on your smartphone and then log onto the website at a convenient time. I'm sure we have all done that, or more likely thought 'what the flip do we need that for'. I think I have also seen it on social media websites as a quick way to get to somewhere. Anyway, you get the picture. The thing is, Mercedes now have it on every number plate where emergency services can scan it and find out the location of all those nasty things they might like to know about before they start cutting out the bodies/injured passengers, so that sounds like a good thing at last for this technology. It also got me thinking about other similar applications where if you needed something fast you could get it, then the only applications I could think of were commercially biased, so I gave up.
I went out for a mammoth (well, elephant-like at least) ride on Saturday taking in the three bridges of Humber, Boothferry and Keadby. 107 miles I all and apart from sun burnt legs came out of it relatively unscathed. I also managed 40 on my new Holdsworth the following day without any after effects. The other sporting achievement was a 4 mile run - the first for 2 weeks to test my legs before Sunday's 70.3. I had a few abductor twinges but hopefully they will be manageable.
