    After spending last weekend road riding in the French Alps,this weekend was ”family time”.
    Huge garden party for my sister’s 40th yesterday with a mechanical rodeo bull, bungee running, bouncy castle and giant inflatable slide. She laid on afternoon tea with cakes and then fish and chips for tea.
    Today was a trip to see the poppies at the Tower of London, watch the tour of Britain and dinner at Byron burger.
    Very fat and tired but happy!

    Still on the mend after daft minor bike crash left me with torn shoulder ligaments.
    Had de-frost freezer yesterday after inadvertently leaving a bottle of Jennings in to cool and it went POP and left my freezer full of beer / slush / galss!
    Not the high light of my weekend! 🙁
    Decent day today walking around Rydal water with family and freinds 😀

    Road ride yesterday morning followed by burger in Nottingham contemporary with family before getting oldest new footy boots.

    Marshilling for a 10k this morning, really good bike ride with the kids and dog this afternoon. We did about 5 miles with 2 miles off road, not bad for a 5 and 3 year old! Came home and played superheros on the trampoline (I was superman and then the green goblin). 3 year old asked to go to bed at 6 so did something right.

    Looking forwards to doing what’s in that top pic with my 2!

    30 mile road ride around Coniston with Chris Boardman yesterday followed by a walk with the wife and kids in the afternoon and lovely beef cobbler for tea. Today played in the garden with the kids this morning and a party this afternoon to say goodbye to some friends who are relocating. Good luck Jo, Oliver and kids!

    I’ve been away in Denver Colorado, and completed my first ever 100km road ride, out to Golden and back! When I started out it was 2C and my fingers were freezing onto the metal Sora brake levers. I finished the tide in glorious 23C sunshine. Now to plan for a 100 miler.

    Three day weekend for me so went for a road ride on Friday morning followed by a couple of laps of Bedgebury in the afternoon. Saturday morning ride over Pitch Hill finding some new (to me) trails then out for the father in laws 60th birthday. Today I attached my new rotors to my new wheels and stripped down my triple SLX chainset to take my new 32T single ring ready for my Dialled Alpine build. A good weekend all in!

    Spent the morning playing at Chicksands yesterday. Finally conquered my 18 month complete mental block on ‘artificial’ drop-offs (been in effect since I fell off on one and ripped my knee open down to the kneecap). It was a good day.

    Good ride yesterday at the golfie at innerleithen, ridiculously dry- reminded me of riding in Italy not Scotland. But was inexplicably shattered all the rest of the day and all day today so that was it. Not the plan but still, not too bad

    Lee and Cragg Quarries early yesterday, was fun, here’s my mates mucking about on the pump track.

    Also headed out with the 6yo for half an hour this evening, he’s getting better every time, he managed to clear a little climb that has foxed him previously. We did some ‘races’ and he even let me win one bless him. 😀

    Also I unblocked the sink in the bathroom.

    Round trip of 34 miles from home to Woburn Woods. First time I have ridden there for two years! Found some (new to me) singletrack round the back of the golf course which was brilliant. Legs feel tight now 🙂
