Well done you two and Horlock. Off out tomorrow for first proper ride since my op, looking forward to the nice weather I went out on Thursday, and did a steady 25 miler....perfect conditions, no wind, nice and warm without a burning sun. I suppose in my prime, I could do 70, and be in a world of hurt, 50 being a more sane distance. Now though, not really sure what I could get it up to with a bit of effort....I don't want to hurt though, so no real after effects from Thursday.

No...I've always used cycling pretty much as a way of getting somewhere, done a bit of touring, but that's hard work, with tent, sleeping bag etc. Brilliant sense of freedom though, knowing you've pretty much all you need with you.... Now I just pootle about....

Just the 64 miles today.
I left Bennett and he carried on to do 85. I think he's dead now.
i'm alive, but the amount of pain my red arms are giving me i'm not sure i want to be.

This is the water. And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

Yeah, the dead straight line across each thigh with white above and red below is proving very useful in illustrating to our little lass why she must wear sun cream!

I remembered suncream on my arms and neck but not my legs.
The result is nicely browned arms but bright pink/white thighs. Rule #7 in full swing.

Not really sure where this one belongs but involves a cycle so....
On way into work this morning could see a bike in the road and a cyclist picking himself up. No other vehicle involved. Odd I though till got closer and could see he had a cat IN his front wheel. Bizarre to say the least. Cat was moving . Would have stopped but too much traffic. On Swindon road ( Stratton ) by the entrance to the hobley drive ind est

Glad they got him, but no doubt he'll just be sent on a driver awareness course.

ten days to find out where a car is registered doesn't suggest they're taking this seriously. i demand a witch-hunt!!!

I would never be good enough to win a race, but if I were I fear it would end like this...
