Boy has a big race tomorrow, so out to do a sighter and then he'll want to come back to watch the match. He likes football, I'm less keen...

Neither - out for a curry. Not that I give a monkey’s about football anyway, even if I was English (which I’m not).

Is Nigel Farage your dad?

Ha! Er, no. Thankfully not.

Just to mix it up a bit, I'm off bouldering. Riding Thursday eve.

I think I knew England were playing tonight, didn't know what time until I read this thread. So it'll all be over by the time I get out anyway.

Fixing the bike.
Maybe.
May just watch a film or something.

Riding.

Except it's chucking it down with thunder, so neither.

Best thing about Germany playing in the world cup footy, is that the local forest and trails are deserted.

Plans scuppered.
Off work today & I had to book a MRI scan,I was expecting to have to wait a few weeks for the scan,but someone had cancelled a appointment for 5.10 PM,so when all the Ingerlanders were getting fired up for the game I was getting my head scanned..
At least I got out on my Triumph earlier.

Finished the BB install just in time to see the 2nd goal.
BB was quite an achievement 😂

Finished work an hour early so everyone could watch the game so took the opportunity for a longer ride home, mix of xc (aka farm tracks/bridleways/footpaths) and country lanes, 18 miles instead of 5. Didn't make it home in time for match 🤷‍

Really enjoying this Euros and not just because England are winning. I've enjoyed watching the matches with my 8 year son.

Just updating, we did indeed get out on the tandem and quite frankly it was bloody wonderful, with the exception of a (thankfully brief and fast downhill) section on the A6, the roads were wonderfully quiet. Can we have more international football matches with 5pm midweek kick offs, please

I will be doing a reasonably short bridleway/forest ride, to see how our recently acquired dog takes to it.
He's fine off the lead, when I'm walking, so I hope he deals with the bike Ok.

Well, what a success that was - he ran alongside nicely, ranged ahead when he felt like it, took the odd detour into the trees, to investigate stuff, chased a few rabbits (but stopped when I called him back) only ran in front of me a few times, and didn't laugh when I ran into a tree.

I officially have a new trail buddy 🐶🌲🚴🐇
