Hello again.
Hope you made the pub!
Ah ha Mr Soreen, we wondered if you were going to reveal your identity today - we didn't make the pub but we did make it back for a bacon buttie and Mrs Flashs delicious Blueberry, raspberry and lime drizzle cake.
Hope you had a good ride back to Settle, you'll have worked up a thirst for that cider by then I expect.

Wish I'd come with you. Made it back OK, but after 35 miles and 5,500' of climbing I was asleep most of the night. Went to bed nearly sober 😥
Hello MrSoreen! Hope you had a good ride? We certainly did. We just about made 30 miles - although we did have to cheat slightly by riding up the track past Domino's house to get it to the round 30 🙂
Only downside to the day was that I've had another allergic reaction to whatever was biting me and my left arm and leg are hugely swollen and very sore again. Domino it looks like my wrist the other week, but 8 of them 🙁 Could barely bend my knee yesterday 🙁
I hope you don't mind me looking at your legs, but they looked pretty badly bitten on Saturday. I was bitten by several horse flies, and they itch like **** at present.
sounds like horse fly mrsf.
I had a little bite from one. Just a bit itchy, nothing serious. Then a few hours later there was a little head like a zit, so I attacked it, as you do. Bad, bad mistake. Apparently it floods you with the toxins in the bite - my ankle swelled up something rotten and I had to hobble for two days. Not doing that again.
I've had horsefly bites before but nothing like this reaction to them.
H1N1 Horsefly variant eh?

I blame the mexicans!
🙂
could be Stoner! 😆
There must be something in my blood horseflys don't like (quinine from too many gin and tonics?) - I have one on my shoulder that is really itchy but my legs remained free of bites.
Ace ride though. Have you had some antihistamines Clare?
Yes I have been downing the piriton and they seem to be doing the trick! it can't be the quinine Kat or I would never be bitten!
I always thought it was Marmite in the bloodstream that helped?
