Dusted off the mtb after having been riding the roadie in deepest Tuscany for the last couple of weeks. Hoping my SouTh Downs trails are dry dusty fast ribbons of fun......wot?
Bottom bracket change on the roadie reqd so that's the extent of fettling.
Opening a fruity red and sipping throughout the weekend, washing clothes from hollibobs, skyping MrsBouy.
Saturday will be spent watching these and many others at the Shoreham air show.

Then a biggish ride Sunday morning followed by watching the airshow again but this time from the comfort of the Red Lion.
At home the kids all day as the wife's out with her mum. Then hitting the quantocks tomorrow for the first time after getting my acl fixed. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
lazy Saturday - but gotta take the lady baby clothes shopping. I'll take the dog for a long walk later in the forests
Sunday - a 2 hour loop round the local trails is planned, with cake
😀
First and only triathlon of the year tomorrow (now I'm old and semi-retired), hope it warms up, it's an outdoor pool.
Road ride with the girls today - in the sun and heading over the hills to the Chocolate House cafe stop at Pentrefoelas in North Wales 🙂
Taking my OH on a high speed rib boat ride round Anglesey on Sunday as a surprise for his birthday.
Oh, and have next week off to go riding bikes and hiking in the mountains - life is good!
(Slight thread highjack) Bikebouy - whereabouts in Tuscany did you go road riding? Independent trip or with a company / group?
Work today.
Marshalling @ Brownbacks on Sunday morn.
Hope to get an hour on the bike on Sunday aft.
Catch up with mates Sunday teatime.
Sitting at home in Birmingham wishing I'd not spent every last penny I have on my bike so that I had a tenner to put in the car to get me to Cannock.
hels - MemberSaturday will be a bad day for constant lamo "witty" comments tho, regarding your bike selection decision that morning.
It turns out, doing mtb trails on cross bikes makes random strangers very happy! There was honest to god hooting and hollering. Even did some 1337 sessioningz on spooky woods and got cheers every time I got an inch off the ground. Top day.
Though the bloody thing could do with some lower gears though!
Had to work this morning but made it out this afternoon for a jaunt around Llanberis slate mines, some trails around Mynydd Llandygai and then back home. So far it's looking like a run around Penmachno tomorrow. First time in a while so looking forward to it.
Realised the Newport Nocturne is on so watching some racing tonight and now allowed biking tomorrow, Result!
IHN - Member
are you coat holding at Keynes Country Park on Sunday?Indeed I am. Are you registering tomorrow? Stick your number on here, I'll cheerlead for you too if I spot you
Racing as 363 - going of at 8.20 and aiming for 1h15m to finish.
See you tomorrow!
Conditions were great today (QECP). So good I went there twice 🙂
Second time got my first tubeless puncture in about 3 years, which was a bit irritating! Spare tube sorted it.
Bloke on an amazingly retro Orange (thumbies, narrow flat bars, the lot) stopped to chat while I was fixing it, which was nice.
Got dragged off to Birkenhead to Lawtons furniture outlet oday and we bought a love seat & armchair and saved 1K then came home and did some gardening and rewarded my efforts with a few pints of Jaipur IPA followed by a curry. Hope to finally try my new skills tomorrow that I learnt from Jedi!
Thanks for the support IHN - I think that was you shouting as I started the run. Got 1H15m as per target.
