Right this minute I'd rather be dozing in a comfy bed with my lovely wife, with coffee, cake and some relaxing to look forward to, maybe family ride with the nipper in the trailer.

At work fit and healthy rather than off sick with yet a still knackered shoulder that seems to be taking forever to heal.

Rocking a massive toe edge whip out over the reef in the Baie aux Tortues, looking down through the clear waters to see the creatures after which the bay is named, before heading back to the pontoon for an ice cold Blue Marlin.

Just having a few minutes of doing nothing while waiting to go get a lovely fried breakfast with some mates before going for a bike ride with my new wheels and tyres.

Oh wait....

Anything except having to deal with 35 year old children...
Sitting on a roof terrace with good friends, good food and good wine enjoying the view and talking bollox would be a start.

Strolling down to the beach in Tarifa, deciding what size board and sail to take out and having a quick pre-sail snack of an omelette at the beach bar, while listening to their unique Moroccan/Andalusian chill mix, and watching the girls in yellow bikinis deciding if it's on or off today.

I'd rather have an SLR in hand, wandering around Florence (or Naples) taking shots of the early morning husstle and bustle against a backdrop of classic Italian stylee.. Then a double espresso and cake, then collect my M'sus from her slumber and put her on the back of my scooter and head out into the hills, with camera in hand.

Ahhh

Climbing a big mountain rock route miles from anywhere. Alaska, Canada or the Norwegian fjords would be nice.

Going with mate, who just called round to see if I was going out to play with the 3Rs group. Our Wednesday riding group - Rich, retired or redundant. Guess which I am? three job apps and creative accounting for me today.

Currently sat on Starbuck's having a coffee, and checking work emails before a day of meetings, so take your pick for alternative activities.... maybe a lazy morning in bed with the OH and the papers before a lazy brunch somewhere and then some riding, followed by nice food and beers watching the sun go down.

Right now i'd like to be back in bed with someone special, have a lazy morning with good coffee, then go for a run and climbing to my hearts content/my hands give out.

Instead i'm at work, waiting for my coffee to wake me up having had a restless night dreaming about riding round AS 31 times.

Wrong time of year for snow, so on a mountain, on my bike. Somewhere. Anywhere.

[i]Nicky Whelan[/i] - had to google, out of curiosity. She doesn't appear to own any outer garments 😯

I would like to be building a bike actually. Haven't done it for years.

A racy but somewhat sturdy possibly steel hardtail. Something good for towing the trailer and possibly mixed road/trail riding. Flat bars and bar ends, 80/100mm forks. Wish I still had my 96 P7. OR possibly a Kona Ute for shopping purposes.

I would also like to be cleaning out the garage so I can make room to park up the bike and trailer for easy access. Hopefully I can also find space to use some rollers for training.

A lazy morning in bed with my GF.
At the top of La Grave with fresh powder in front of me and blue skies above.
Next to an alpine lake with the sun on my back and a beer in my hand.

I'd rather be up at the range, lying on a nice comfy roll mat at the 1000m marker with a spotting scope and a nice .308. It's a little bit breezy, but I could deal with it.

I might need a small stove and a portable espresso maker just to make it perfect.

Mind you, being at home with wife and dogs would be hard to beat. I could do with weeding the veg beds.

Outside the back of the house fettling my new cross bike, with the sun shining and Mrs and Baby North dozing on the grass under a tree.

Driving my Lamborghini Gallardo to the marina to meet my super model girl friend who is waiting for me onboard my yacht.

Nothing. I've been out on my bike, I've got a coffee on the desk and a PC to read what you lovely people have to say whilst catching up on the news on other windows. Wife and son seem equally happy doing what they're doing.

I wouldn't swap the Lamboughini for my Peugeot, sailing on calm rainy days is tedious, and I'm not sure a supermodel that has probably already been around the likes of Clapton, Jagger, Fabius and a president would be my first choice.

Back up in Wales on holiday with the bike and kayak. Totally awesome week. And yes I could have done with a massage at the end. Doing The Gap and extra plus Afan, Cwmcarn and another ride, and two kayaks sessions I was totally wasted. But loved it all the same and didn't want to go back home to normality. Its taking ages to get back to normal. Just want to go back to Afan-Whites Level rocks 😀
