 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Decided this morning to skip work and spend the day on my bike on the quantocks. Is anybody else skipping work to go riding???
Sounds like a great idea unfortunately I have many meetings.....
Your boss is in the office and has decided to check singletrack before he starts work 😉
I managed to time my ride last night for the hail, rain and wind that lasted about 2 hours (or the length of a cold night ride) and am now looking out the window at sunshine and regretting I can't bunk off.
Most of my colleagues have gone on leave already - little point me flogging shergar today 😀
They are using the hadron collider to measure the miniscule amount of work actually being done this week
Off to CwmCarn with a mate in about 30 mins. Day booked off for ages. Had an email at 6pm last night asking for loads of stuff to be completed for today. Did the honourable thing and ignored it 🙂
2 months gardening leave for me starting yesterday until I start my new job, so lots of riding coming up!
Extended lunch startin about 10.15 i'd guess.
So very very jealous of Hob Nob.
I think I'd rather work than ride the Quantocks myself.
Had a glorious but quite muddy at times ride 🙂

Pretty dry although the roots were glassy. Both recovering from terrible colds so one lap was enough followed by a large mug of tea. First ride in two weeks and I should have been in work. A comprehensive result 🙂
No not yet, waiting for my last customer to collect his forks before I can FO 😀
Had a great time on the quantocks. Nice and quiet didn't see anyone all afternoon. Now for a curry and a few ciders
Had a great time on the quantocks. Nice and quiet didn't see anyone all afternoon.
I had a half day holiday to use before Christmas so went up there on Tuesday afternoon. Did 20 miles and only saw a couple of walkers, even weekends seem quiet for bikers up there lately!
Had a day off and did an mega ride from Cardiff to Cwmcarn and back. Absolutely knackered now but had a great day out.
Think i passed you on the main Cwmcarn climb today Alex. I was on a bright green Cotic and riding like a lunatic (as usual).
@Wookie you did indeed pass us, my excuse was I was feeling very second hand, Alex spent some time waiting! Best cure though for a hangover and once gravity provided assistance all was good. Been a long time since either of us had been to Cwmcarn it was a great skive 😀
Nope I get paid to work so that's what I do.
3 days left before I'm off unless somebody decides to take an unscheduled day off then I'll have to cover their shift.
@wookie, you did have the look of a man on a Strava mission 🙂 I do love that climb even when feeling a bit ropey. Happy to clean it in the wet for the first time in ages. Must be those funny sized wheels....
DavidB and I were talking about some natural stuff around CwmCarn... never done it... fancy showing us around some time?
