    Feeling totally smug I was out the house at 0645 riding & got home just as rain started. Now sat in café with bacon sarnie, coffee & achy legs 8)

    Lucky you, just got back from running 11 miles, and was drier in the shower than running. Got a hilly 50 miles on the roadbike in the sun yesterday pm though

    Early runs/rides are great, lovely to get back and still have the day ahead.

    I was all geared up for an early one this morning until I buggered my back up by crashing my boys bike on the BMX track yesterday. Needed help getting my socks on this morning… 🙄

    Almost feels like a free ride when you manage it!

    Managed to get down the Gower early yesterday, do a quick 25 miles and be driving home as the whole of South Wales decided to go to the beach 😀

    Nearly managed it. Did manage to destroy my tyre on the first descent and take a tumble a few miles in though, resulting in a long, painful trudge back towards town. Sitting here with antiseptic wipes, ice and ibuprofen rather than rocketdog’s bacon buttie.

    Many thanks to the chap who saw me limping along and gave me an innertube though. I do normally take all the gear, but this was only a quick ride etc etc 😳

    Yes,
    Thought I would do a spot of Three Peaks training at 7 this morning.
    Was thinking the worst then got home showered and bacon sarnie.
    Then the rain started!
    Maybe it should have started earlier?
    Would have been proper training!
    Ha ha!

    I had various dull but necessary things to do this morning. So when I was delivering stuff, finishing off design work for people, picking shopping up, and all the other not-out-on-my-bike paraphernalia, it was gloriously sunny. I’m just off to pick a friend up from the station as the plan was to head into the hills for the afternoon. Looks like its going to be a wet one. Its lashing down!!! Bloody typical! 🙁

    Yup, I sneaked round Cannock early doors and only saw one other biker as I was driving home. Had the trails to myself and the best weather of the day as its been raining since I got home. 🙂

    8.30 start, back just after 11 as the rain started with a brisk 42 miles in the bag.

    Forecast varying between damp and wet for the next couple of days, got some indoor jobs to keep me going….

    Up at 08.30, leisurely cup of coffee, wash up, hang washing out, put bike on stand & clean/sort transmission with more coffee (all in sunshine) pick some peas & beans to go with dinner, sort some fishing gear out, have another coffee, RACE LIKE A NUTTER TO GET WASHING IN before the deluge, cup of tea & 2 Ringtons Ginger Snaps.
    Still raining.

    trying to convincing the wife we wont get shot or blown up when we go to Turkey in 2 weeks.

    Better you than me. Wish you were here.
