Rode from Liverpool to daresbury and back. It wouldn’t have been possible to get any wetter if I had been completely submerged, which to a certain extent I was…

I went to the library. It’s down a big hill and up a bigger hill and I’m on crutches. Hard, like a fast XC ride but with different muscles feeling the burn. No fun at all going back down.

Played a couple of hours of 3 on 3 ultimate frisbee including an hour of slightly modified quebec rules and some work. Feeling quite tired now.

Was going to do a load more work on a DH track im building but the rain put a stop to that!

Malvern hills, so windy I didn’t dare ride some normally very easy sections. Also realised that I am at my lowest level of fitness in probably 6-7 years, embarassingly poor at climbing. Now I’m cheering myself up by eating mississippi mud pie, then probably a curry.

just come back from an hours ride on The roadrat. I’m sure I could not have been any wetter if I had stood in the shower. 🙁

Now I know why people buy winter training bikes. The roads round here are horrendous, it looks like Beirut, the pot holes are not only big but bloody deep as well, not to easy to judge when they are in the middle of a 20ft puddle.

off out again probably up Rivvy tomorrow. Must be mad 🙄

filled some holes in a plasterboard ceiling, hauled a large pile of logs up a steep slope on a sledge thtough knee deep snow and ice, and brought them home, stacked them in garage and then dug some ice around the driveway entrance so we can drive in a bit easier without hitting the ice piles which are 5 ft high each side of drive, living in NJ usa oh to see the grass again

Riding tomorrow on a route designed as ‘flipping cheek’! So, no bike today instead hit the moors for a hard and splashtastic fell run. High stepping through ankle deep water on the ‘paths’. It was hard, but good.

Have done an hour on the turbo today and will do an hour on the turbo tomorrow. Not tooooo bad I suppose.

played at swinley for 3 hours. 😀 lovely and dry.

i been coaching a public session today, feel ruined now 🙂

GW, yeh, the tour of EL…not ridden much around that way so looking forward to it 🙂 Unless its super windy of course!

Jedi, you seen my fb status?

Went to a very wet & windy CYB again and did the Dragons Back, despite the weather we had an excellent ride talk about mtfu rides 😆

😀 OK that didn’t translate well.

The main loop in my local woods gets swampy in places and by digging some drainage at certain spots it helps prevent it getting too soggy during rain. An added bonus is that it creeps-out the dog walkers to see a lone guy carrying a spade and furtively digging trenches before melting away into the trees.

OK that didn’t translate well.

I think GW meant the other part.. because to me it reads like you’re going to beat your other half… and then head off into the woods to do some drainage work..

dgoab, i’m glad to be of assistance! 🙂
