My missus has been poorly of late, and leaving her on her own last weekend whilst I went out riding has created what I’ll call an ‘air of malcontent’ in the house for most of the week.

This being the case I didn’t arrange a ride this weekend, so we could spend some time together. Last night she revealed that one of her friends is coming to stay tonight, that they’d be out all day today and that the house needs cleaning.

So, I’ve spent virtually all day polishing rather than pedalling. To add insult to injury, the hoover set on fire (!), so in replacing that the new bike fund has taken a further beating, and the house is filled with the welcoming smell of electrical fire.

Drat, and double drat.

I have a sodding cold. Why do they always arrive on Friday afternoons.

Chained to my Mac by WCA, trying to do this flippin’ BBB poster. Wondering why I have no inspiration.

Thought I had it sussed, but the more I look at it, the more it just looks sh1t. Trying to produce something that encompases what the BBB is all about, and failing miserably.

Plus, my ear infection is affecting my ability to judge sounds properly, and is a bit disorientating. Kind of feel a bit unbalanced.

working 🙁

cos i have january lazyitis blues..

To add insult to injury, the hoover set on fire

Uh-hu. My Mrs wouldn’t fall for that one.

No, it really did set on fire! The motor has burned out.

I’ve already bought a new hoover so I can complete her commands and save myself a merciless beating.

Cyclone outside.

nice one mr stunts!
did you still post up on ninjatuneforum?

baby arrived 4 days ago and still a bit hectic here 😉

congrats mick…

cheers mate 🙂 ive some podge to shift when i do get out ive not been out since before my crimbo feasting ;-(

Not riding this weekend ‘cuz I have what my wife has termed ‘Shrekfoot’:

I’ve had an inflamed liver for almost a month now so not been out on a ride since just after Christmas. Still no idea of the cause except it’s not Hepatitis A, B or C, it looked ok on the ultrasound and I’m not a heavy drinker. Hopefully got a load more test results this week so should be closer to an answer but I can’t see myself back on the bike for a while 🙁

… end of sob story

Got the kids today as wife working, going to Cannock Chase nice and early inb the morning though 8)

Still recovering from my back operation. The specialist says that I can get back on the turbo trainer in two weeks but not off road until April/May. I’m considering buying a road bike ……

Hungover and looking after the kids (dont shout please!!!!!)

wot have you done mate..

Fell off last weekend; left calf muscle landed on a large root with pretty much my full weight behind it. It swelled up rather impressively, and the bruising and swelling has moved down my leg to the foot!

Work for me

Spent today with the Mrs, shopping, cleaning etc.. you know the script. Off out round The Peak tomorrow though. 🙂

Its far too nice to go out today, I’ll wait for tomorrow so I can spend 5 hours riding in the rain.

Shopping, cleaning, cooking, feeding twins babies.

managed an hour road spin.

Boo, going on the hills tomorrow ❓

Congrats, Firestarter!

So, another Mini-Bulb-End, then? 😀

househusband; wtf have you done to your leg and foot?? 😯

lol rude boy you do pop up in the strangest of guises 😉

no one to go out with.

Out riding for 3hrs yesterday, then 2hrs rugby training in the evening. Thought I was due a day off after that so the GF took me out shopping. Game tomorrow now cancelled so might head out tomorrow though.

Reminds me I must go and wash my kit…

work then sleep. But did do a 10 mile commute including some woods.

Been away with work last week so have spent the day clearing up the stinking, festering, steaming, mud caked horrendous pile of Ming which which has been in my van all week since the Strathpuffer. A veritable biohazzard if ever there was one.

Inners tomorrow..

Househusband

If you’re bored and feeling brave look up “compartment syndrome”

Happy reading.

p.s. forewarned is forearmed

Freehub is **** and I’ve spunked all my money on a new bike so can’t get a new one.

I’m stealing the rear wheel off the other half’s bike tomorrow and going out.

I have the lurgy… which is annoying as I was looking forward to getting out with Mr Foxychick over the weekend. Goddammit 🙁 Next weekend is being scheduled for grade A liver abuse of the finest kind too… which rules out that one.

Looking forward to life becoming straightforward again.

Too many chores to do, in-laws visiting, heavy rain will have turned local woods into a quagmire.

That enough excuses?

Mislaid my mojo. After two years of mud I’m taking a break til spring. Fingers crossed for a decent summer.

Still not riding since 4th December, toes not healed up after nail removal,according to podiatrist still a further 3 weeks to go.

My frame is being replaced underwarrenty and i am awaiting the replacement.

Kid duty today as Missus up skiing. Me off tomorrow and forecast looks pants for me so guess I’ll head off into the woods on mtb.

Had an NHS twins prenatal thing during the day and then friends down to visit for lunch after that, then cleaned my bike and fitted some new grips.

I’m on-call so can’t stray too far. So a day of very local shopping for new car seats/ shoes for the kids. Hopefully a spin round Sherwood Pines tomorrow morning.
