Nice chilled ride at Woburn today, busiest I've seen it and everyone was having a great time, nice atmosphere there
Riding wise I didn't really push myself as much as I should've - mixed bag as my cornering/"wheels on the ground" stuff is improving, but I'm starting to get a bit shaky jumping again as I don't do it enough.

Cheers Jamie, yesterdays ride was over to Cleeve Hill in that there Cotswolds.
2 weeks today I'll be 3 days and 200 miles into the E2E. Assuming the whiney cock bags which do trains allow our bikes to join us on the journey to Lands End.

Resting here as I'd done my foot averter muscle and can't let my marathon training suffer any more than it has.
Built up my ti commuter and bodged a disc mount on it, drilled some more holes in the fat bike rim. Watched some tennis from my veranda too.
Need to eBay a lot of crap later.

emsz we did cosy Italian for first date, (and got given discount as well for being a cute friendly couple), and then sat outside drinking coffee until midnight, at the place across the bay to the Italian, might even suggest there as the menu was quite nice there as well, we'll see, ideas greatly received, so anyway, what's on the menu tonight?

Chicken and chickpea casserole.
Probably be eating it for the next three days
Edit, and chorizo
3rd date idea, you're cooking for her then.

I went off for a ride this evening, saw no-one on the trails, I heard the first cuckoo, rode through a wood of bluebells, and cleared all the major climbs ....... what a day!

We have a box of eggs from mrs deadly's dad's bantams. Just deciding between omelette or plain old scrambled eggs on toast for supper
Rode 60 miles from Bromsgrove down to the Malverns and back this morning - wonderful weather for it...not too hot, not too cold. Brunch at the Malvern Hills Hotel (with a cheeky half of something wonderful).
Evening walk with Molly in the cemetery, all over her incident on Friday - wounds healing up nicely

Lazy lie in with the wife, then town for coffee, croissant and cycling weekly while wife went to church. Bit of shopping then off to the pub for Paris Roubaix with clubmates. Wife re joins after the race and we have a walk on the beach with chips. Visit parents on way home and finally tuck into lovely roast stuffed pork with creamed cabbage and a balsamic reduction and a couple bottles of red. Could have been worse I guess

Yesterday morning I walked home across the city in the warm morning sun feeling happy and very lucky. Lazed about in exhausted bliss for most of the day before riding up to the hills in the evening sunshine.

Still lucky.
