going For a ride out of Ambleside and hoping my Bottom Bracket doesn't fall out...............
This will however give me a very good excuse to cut the ride short as I've not been for three months and am pretty sure I'm about to get a beasting 😛
plus the weathers crap
Cheers Jedi.
It still scares the crap out of me just how long it's going to take me.
Starting drafting things out back in September, only technically on day 10/120 😯
S'Tuesday night to we'll be out riding in the mud and slip-sliding all over the place, marvelling at the amount of water damage from last weekends rain, eating Jelly Babies, drinking whisky and then stopping for a beer or 2 on the way home. Life's grand.
*Cycling home 7.5 miles from Totnes.
*Cooking supper (fish pie & veg) for family.
*Driving 7.5 miles back to Totnes to take son to army cadets.
*Driving 12.5 miles back the way I came and beyond to Dartmouth Canoe Club instructors' meeting at pub in Dartmouth.(drinking nowt 'cos I'm driving & on also wagon until 1st March 🙁 ).
*Driving 5 miles back home in other direction.
*Changing front wheel on road bike for commute into work tomorrow.

That'll be Piers. Here's a photo I took of him a few years ago up on Dartmoor. He's extremely scared of both water & heights so my friend Ian had to talk him over one particularly tricky crossing.....

relaxing and trying not to think about my hospital appointment tomorrow, and maybe prep for a meeting on Thursday to take my mind of things, no riding tonight as just got in and i think i just emptied my skill bank riding fixed gear in the rain on damp roads home, so now i don't want to tempt fate.

Do you wear spangly bra-tops and hold a carnival parade before fighting amongst yourselves?
To Lowey, all the best for today.
Well, as best as such a day can be anyway.
Thanks guys, funeral went ok, but got a call at 5am this morning (you alwyas know calls at that time are never going to be good news) to tell us that the wife's nan passed away suddenly last night. She was like a nan to me too.

I was only coming on this thread to bitch about how i stayed at work and only got half my stuff done too!!

Aw, sh!t. 👿 That's just - well - sh!t.
Lowey shortly before my Dad died in December I was at the bottom of his road with his first Grandson. I hesitated taking him to see him. Then my Dad died.
I wanted him to at least see his Grandson once.
All the best. It gets better sadly some of us get off at bus stops along the way.
