I spent today erecting beer tents and stuff for the Big Bike Bash.

That reminds me, have I mentions that it is next weekend and you should buy your tickets here: http://www.bigbikebash.co.uk/

i bought a new mantel for my gaslight ready for BBB

I spoke to somebody who makes there own cider, and a couple of breweries with regard to acquiring some products.

I woke up at 6am, and for no other reason than i am an idiot, i ran a full marathon plus walked 2 miles back home once i hit the 26 miles. First time for everything.

chillout day!

Rode a few miles up to friends house to see to their cat and chickens as they are on holiday – rode home. Changed the brake cables, striped down brakes and replaced the bar tape on my cx/commuter. Walked 3 miles into town to go to football match, ate steak and haggis pie, watched Kilmarnock win 3-0, walked home – son usually goes with me but he's away to grandpas with mum for a couple of days.

Wasn't happy with bar tape on rhs around brake leaver so took it off when I came home and sorted it – much neater now.

About to make dinner and have a beer, home alone so I can do what I want.

Mentally preparing for a long road ride tomorrow in strong winds.

Me and crazy-legs went for an ace cross ride.

I've been cleaning and tidying ready for Juan's surprise visit!! 8)

Leaving it a bit late ?
The cider's already been made, and beer tastes best fresh, you'd have complained if we'd bought it and stockpiled it in February.

Got up at 6am.

Drove 95 miles to work.

Walked around 10 miles on rail tracks to hand back a job to the client in what seemed like baking hot temperatures due to PPE that must be worn on track.

Drove 95 miles home.

Drink beer, watch tele – repeat to end

Got up about 8.30
Checked my emails
Ate breakfast
Went and did the weekly shop
Painted hallway in our annex
Had lunch
Posted 3 items on eBay
Applied for two jobs
Dinner in 5 mins

Telly and beer tonight after I've taken No1 daughter and her plants home.

Motorcycle test training… **** knackered now.

You wouldnt want to know where i was today, to depressing.

Cycled around a very wet and windy north wales for 6 hours should have been a 4 hour ride but got lost about 5 times. Got soaking wet covered in sheep and horse shit and boiled my front brake on the drop down from Loggerheads to Ruthin which was amusing when I came round a bend flat out to find some tit in an SUV doing a 33 point turn in the road

ps. Had a smashing time

Went swimming with the nipper and took the dogs out for a couple of hours.

chilled.
Rode to shop bought old offspring album.
Listened to album.
Rode my bmx locally for a blast.
Showered.
Probably watch a dvd later and get ready for an early start tommorrow 😆

drove 150 miles to look at a van i wanted to buy, turned out to be nothing like the description and then I drove 150 miles home again. bloody car dealers!

Went oo work 9am to admit vehicle

Collected 4×2 wood from scrap pallet pile

Constructed said 4×2 to form divide in kids' bedroom.

Proceeded to knock down wall on landing to make some space

Now looks like a bombsite

And will stay that way 'cos I'm off out riding tomorrow with the Boggies 🙄

Flew back from Vancouver… I am now addressing my depression and the fact that I've been awake for 30+ hours with a couple of Innis and Gunn and the holiday ironing.

had a ride out in Brechfa forest this afternoon 😉

Funny sounds like I had a very similar day to WCA 😯

Bought 132 sq ft of carpet + assorted decorating & DIY sundries as Mrs BNS is determined to decorate the house from top to bottom during the school holiday – only managed a 25 minute leg loosener on the turbo

got up, went to supermarket, and then went to Sherwood Pines for a couple of laps.
came home, cleaned bike…

took number 1 daughter for 30 min pootle round a deserted car park, then generally pottered about in the back garden.

noticed that my lower jockey wheel looks as pointy as a throwing star and has kind of ovalised in the centre – attention required methinks….

Got woken up a 7am by kids
made porridge and drank chocolate milkshake
Saw my bro
Sat in pub garden, kids ran about.
Cooked dinner
Me and hubby watched MTB DVD 'New world disorder 9' with our 2 year old.
Kids in bed, cider on ice and 'the wire' on dvd tonight.
Lovely.

… and beer.

What time can we arrive for camping on the Friday?

Went camping yesterday with my lad (last minute thing). Went to Abergavenny, woke up this morning, walked up Sugerloaf, decided weather was to shite to bother with the route we'd mapped out, so went back down. It was cool though

Flew some hawks, owls and kestrels in northumberland with these people

my wrists ache like hell now though- pickaxe and shovel wielding related, not any onanist tendencies…

Shopping 🙂

Took my son to his football training and then we went to Stamner park after lunch to watch a bit of the racing. A lot of people coming back round to the start finish line saying it was a lot harder than they thought. I've promised him an Islabike for Christmas and decided I need something other than the off road commuter for the weekends. But what….
