Looks like it's going to be a scorcher. I woke up at 5 and it was so nice just gone for a walk along the mighty river Nene. About 6 miles in now. No idea what I'm going to do later. Maybe more of the same.

Taking the dogs for a haircut, then off to the in laws.
Down to Mayhem tomorrow, so not entirely a crap weekend.
Just today.
Aston Hill. My brother has a new DH bike to try out, and I have one I haven't used since November.
Cleaning. Ride my bike to Wallingford to photog the Carnival. More bike riding followed by a 20ml round trip to a mate's pub to hear a band.
It's cloudy and very grey here. May take Jr to the Gruffalo Trail at Delamere later, then go stare at nice bikes in twelvefifty shop
Looking forward to a day in a poorly air conditioned office under fluorescent lights 🙁
Keeping awake kids happy since 5am.
Driving two hours to a wedding later.
No bicycles today.
Although, I was out for two hours yesterday, and have Monday off: not all bad!
a walk Jamie? a walk?!
I will be cleaning this morning and cutting the grass and going into the attic and then taking the girl swimming perhaps and then defo Cannock tonight.
I'm at work where I've been since 5:30am... Same again tomorrow :/
Gardening while the plasterer finishes the fireplace then friends round for a BBQ later. Walk with Dad for fathers day tomorrow. No riding but screwed my back yesterday lifting a bucket for the plasterer so maybe it's a blessing!
Working. Got 45 people to abseil down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth so I'll be in a platform at 100m baking in the sun all day...

I'm co-organiser of www.ridetothesun.co.uk so heading to Carlisle and cycling back to Cramond beach (Edinburgh) over night, via a chip shop and cyclorave! 8)
Meeting a mate I haven't seen in a little while at BPW for a couple of hours this morning.
Play with the youngest in the garden this afternoon.
Back to my hometown for a few beers tonight for my Birthday.
It's gonna be one of those Ice Cube type good days (very few AKs in Cardiff thankfully).
Edinburgh - St Andrews LEPRA charity ride for me.
Driving to a hamlet near Cirencester to help my folks clear the house of a friend of theirs who recently died age 100. Will be taking bikes for Jr and Mrs M. Already have the picnic prepared. Yay summer!
Pub all day hopefully get a spot in the beer garden.
I'll be driving up to Carlisle to see Fatmax later!
People think I'm joking when I say I don't have a bike
I have a few bikes but do loads of walking, never ride the bikes at all really.
building a shed.
I was hoping it wouldn't rain, but didn't particularly ask for this either.
Just waiting to get wood as we speak.
It was sunny in Derbyshire until I got out of bed for a coffee and contemplation of a bike ride - looks like it's going to piss it down now 😡
No it's not sunny, it's never ****ing sunny in the west of Scotland. My freehubs broke, Yodel are ****ers.
Might go drown some puppies later.
Get the lawn cut, fill the paddling pool for the kids, get the BBQ going. Sea bass today, meats tomorrow. Maybe sneak a Father's Day ride in too
Sat in garden drinking a brew and eating Aldi chocolate granola (it's addictive, good job it's healthy right?)
Off to Nans later to do her garden. Just had a lovely 8 days away in Glastonbury and Woolacombe so need to burn off all the vegan food, beer, cream teas and Pimms
My mum and dad are in Western Scotland on holiday and the weather has been drab.
Still, I can at least send them morale boosting photo's of me drinking beer in the beautiful sunshine later
I will be making hay while the sun shines. Got 20 acres down and ready to bale this afternoon. Just need to nip to town (40 mile round trip) to grab a new hydraulic pipe after one burst last night. Then 4 hours of tedding, 2 hours of rowing up and who knows how long baling. Thank heavens for Aircon
Driving to Cheshire to pick up our new dog
Lazy morning followed by lunch at a Fiesta in a nearby village.
It's been mid-30's here all week and will be the same today.
Mornin! It's glorious here. I'm off on this [url= https://www.strava.com/clubs/247537/group_events/180071 ]HTN Club Ride[/url]
No boik Jamie? You sold the TCX?
Mrs Boblo and I are out tandeming to the flesh pots of Wymondham windmill - a 70 miler for us on (ahem) road.
Did my chores yesterday. Finished cutting the hedges; 12 hippo bags to the tip with the cuttings and many scratched appendages/****su etc. Grass cut, boiks fettled, now time to ride 😉
Sorchio here..I'll be painting the soffits and windows on the back of my house.
(This new water based exterior paint is awesome btw. )
Take the dogs out later then something nice for tea. Its a tough life.
Going surfing.. Then maybe a bike ride if I've got the energy later.
Stuck at work. No windows, but I have a CCTV camera so can see that it's sunny outside.
On the plus side, I finish at 2pm.
Looking after the boy, so no bikes, but just heading out for a walk over higger tor. Should be good as long as there aren't too many tantrums (he's almost 2 so is quite strong willed at the moment).
The paddling pool is warming in the garden for later. Should be good.
Jamie, it's a nice day and it's only just past 9. Go out and buy a bike today!!
Would love to, but have a spot of gardening to do now 8)
I'll be wandering around York with my wife........and NO kids.
It's my birthday tomorrow and we're on a child free weekend away.
Just polished off a massive full breakfast. Life is pretty good today
Got wood. Now watching the Lions and then I'm going to work on my erection.

But after that you're going to have a ****, right?
Had most of the day shuttling at mt stromlo channeling peaty 09 so chilling out watching the lions now and sessioning a local dh track tomorrow.
I'm going to reassemble my "proper" fs mtb - been in bits since last August (I only really ride it when away on holiday)
spin across the forest later to check it all out; bit of pubbage; hint of gardening round at my mum's house - all followed by sweet FA 8)
After riding last three days, I'm 'relaxing' with the big strimmer and helping the fella who is rebuilding bits of our fence.
Glad I walked the dogs early. Hot out there.

Later the BBQ shall be fired up and cold beer shall be drunk. The perfect pre-ride prep for an all dayer tomorrow 🙂
Set off to get to the Lakes. 20 mins later get a frantic phone call to tell me the (house) cat has vanished. Head for home. Cat, naturally, has strolled out of whatever spot he was hiding in with a shit-eating grin by the time I get back... 👿
Tomorrow, perhaps...
Alex run through that wheat you naughty boy!!
Grey & sweaty here. Hoping the rain holds off so I can get grass & hedges cut
Letting our new rescued cat outside for the first time - been indoors for three weeks, the house smells like a litter tray and he's going a bit stir crazy.
Before.

Thought that looked local Jamie, just spent 3hrs riding in the nene valley, glad we went early though 🙂
First time camping with the family. Sweepstake on the key thing we forget?

Another local! That makes 4 of us 😀

These two combined would make an excellent weekend. Enjoy the weather everybody. It's now turned glorious here in Macclesfield. A rare thing indeed.

thought it looked like just along from Irthlingborough lock at first but perhaps not.
10 mile run this morning done, now got some chores to do, then a quick hour on the bike before some beers I reckon. Cracking day.
That cat 🙂
Alex run through that wheat you naughty boy!
LOL. Always a possibility if the 1 year old lab decides she's smelt something interesting!
It's a hot one in Shirley today, already 28C according to Wunderground! 😯
A brief break in the shade before I carry on with work, but later on, an extended commute home via Bassett Green Avenue climb (which is so close to being a true cat4 Strava climb, but not quite).
@Nipper
Great work with the cat, liked! 🙂
Beer n BBQ 8)
it was 20 degrees C at 7 this morning zero wind, don't think i can remember a morning here quite like it. 50k road ride back for bacon & eggs at 9 in the garden. Going to start cooking lamb kofka soon. Flamming June Indeed ! 😯 😀
It's very, very warm down here on the Kent coast.
Yesterday was pretty hectic, 3 hours of BMX race training, then paint balling, then a lovely walk in the country, then swimming and beer on the beach.
Today is more relaxed - just swimming in the sea later on.
Well done & good luck Nipper.
Off down the village Fayre in Kinver to bake in the sun, eat too much & generally have a lovely day
Stuck in the house looking after girlfriend who has food poisoning
Lovely summer weather & I've been laid low with some lurgy where I've been coughing up all manner of green stuff for three days,can hardly speak.
My old FZ750 blew the fork oil out the other month,so I'm stripping & rebuilding the front end. Tyre's covered in fork oil so it looks like a new front tyre is required..

Couple of hours on the metalled roads of Salisbury Plain, followed by a cracking lunch.
Going for a swim in a bit. It's roasty hot. Lovely.
Woken up by my 10 year old at 4am complaining it's too hot to sleep.
Got dropped at the velodrome while the rest went to look at the poppies at the Silk Mill and got me a Greggs tuna crunch baguette as my father's day treat.
Now lazing on the sofa watching the highlights of the last stage of the Dauphines which I recorded and haven't watched yet.
