Half century on debut #dayboo

An important #FathersDay message from me…WEAR A HELMET ! This week I had a bad accident while riding my bike in CT. I'm doing ok and I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at @LMHospital who looked after me but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life. Be Safe

I start a long Trial in Bradford next week - staying in Leeds - and will be joined by Mrs W on some weeks. Any restaurant recommendations, ideally healthy, Twitter? And a decent pay-as-you-go Gym/pool?
