I’m taking my 10 year old daughter out for a frosty 15 miles in the morning all off road.

Getting rid of this bug and getting back to riding properly

Getting home on Friday, followed by a normal weekend of household jobs and a proper bike ride.

Been lovely seeing the kids with their grandparents this week but I need to get away from the temptation of too much excess food!

Going to Cape Verde in January for some sun and surf

Lots of stuff,

Spring
Heading home from work whilst it’s still light.
Alps in summer for my 40th
Mrs Jay heading to NYC with our eldest to visit her sister, she really deserves it and hasn’t left Europe before.
New Car in Spring, maybe.
Youngest starting school nursery in a few months which will slightly dent the huge in childcare costs.

I’m looking forward to 2017.

Tomorrow?

This..

Death.

2017 being better for me, although going by today’s events its looking unlikely

Masters Degree and doing my research project somewhere warm like Vietnam.

All being well job-wise:

– new mtb and rediscovering my mojo
– getting a czech gf with big jugs

A new hip in February

More sleep without nose block. 😡

A new hip in February

Seeing my hip surgeon next week..how old are you if I may be so bold!

The end of 2016. A truly miserable and traumatic year. 2017 can only be better.

Oh and my 50th birthday new bike… Jones or Rourke, Jones or Rourke, of something titanium and fixed or…

And my second Cat race license. Bwahahahahaha!

A fixed shoulder so I can get back on my bike.

Struggling not to post something like ‘having a **** later after the wife goes to bed’

Ticking off some riding i’ve been gonna do for years and not got round to, booked campsites for the van already.
A new bathroom for the house (middle aged shout out right there!)
Some great trips with my new job
Our dogs first birthday (invites have been sent, sorry we couldnt fit you all in)
10 day tour of scotland in the campervan
The rugby season ending without the falcons being in a relegation battle

Getting over this **** cold!!!

And Alien Covenant.

good health, good beer, and keeping happy in our lives.

Cycling from Greenwich to Paris in the days running up to Easter – meeting up with the wife/kids in Paris and going onto Disney for a few days.

Loads of things.

I have a list that gets longer as I age. Some things happen, some don’t but the list always gets longer irrespective.

Cycling plans next year 4000+ miles of events so far.

But the bottom line, be happy.

Getting out of this sodding knee brace and getting back on my bike

A snack.

Mostly this…

Shoulder surgery – I can’t ride at present so hoping it’s soon so I can get back on a bike again!

my house refurbishment being finished in another month

paying off any loan I might have to take out to pay for the extra my savings won’t cover

meeting up with a girl from an online dating site I have been chatting to a lot

building up my new (3.0) flux

losing a stone (or maybe more) of weight

riding my bikes again as they have been lying fallow since the separation/house move/refurbishment

All ready to play with our new Christmas presents!

Finding a hen-sitter so we can go away for more than two nights at a time in the new motorhome.

Having a big bonfire tomorrow night.

Being able to afford not having to visit the food bank as often as I have been.

I’m 52. It’s the result of a cam acetabular impingement. I’d have had it done last year, but a fall from a bike set up a soft tissue injury (a morel lavalee lesion….) that has refused to heal, so they need to involve a plastic surgeon to manage the wound.

I had my snack, it was tasty.
Now I have nothing to look forward to any more.
*sadface*

Going to Scarborough tomorrow! I love the coast when it’s cold.

Something truely historic before the end of March 🙂 (sorry couldn’t help myself)

2017 will see some major changes personally and really looking forward to them
Knee surgery and rehab will hopefully go smoothly
2nd daughters wedding

Annual works xmas MTB ride tomorrow. Everyone brings leftover cake and we ride in big circles, returning to the cars to eat cake every lap, until we’re knackered and bloated.

I’m looking forward to going on some decent length walks with my dog when she is fully grown (currently 6 months old).

Being able to afford not having to visit the food bank as often as I have been.
