What sort of stuff do you do when for whatever reason you can't be bothered to get your bike out of the garage?

I've just finished reading 'the secret race' by Tyler Hamilton, it's a great read and I found it quite shocking compared to David Millar's book. I've just started 'skagboys' by Irvine Welsh which is the prequel to trainspotting.
I'm also playing a bit of Black Ops II and listening to the 6 music playlist on spotify.

Roll on spring.

Today I have mostly been sitting on the sofa entertaining my wee lad between bouts of CBeebies and him torturing the dog. Only reason I am not going out is that I feel like death warmed up at the moment 🙁 Lovely day out there!

Never happens. In fact if I don't get out on the bike I get very grouchy indeed. Just about to go out in a 4 inches of fresh snow in a snow storm. 😈

Good day today. I have:

Washed and valeted both Mrs Gti's car and my car. Damned cold in the wind though.

Cleaned the bathroom floor, removed the bath and basin traps and cleaned out all the hairs and scummy smelly stuff (bleargh!)

Nipped to a LBS and bought some new bar tape for the road bike I'm selling.

Jumped on the roadie and shot out for a very windy "quickie" round my local 10 mile circuit, which includes two nasty sharp climbs, total was 730 ft, felt good and went well.

Retaped the bars then taken all the photos and set them up ready for putting an ad on Eblag tonight.

Now gotta cook dinner then back online for the Ebay ad.

Time for a nice glass of Merlot, I think.

If it's really dirty, motorbike trials, filthier it gets, more fun it is.
Or sleeping off a hangover. 😀

Gobalti - "Cleaned the bathroom floor, removed the bath and basin traps and cleaned out all the hairs and scummy smelly stuff (bleargh!)"

Now that is beyond the call of duty! Mrs Wingnuts is a psychopathic clearer but she's never done that. Sure you're not feeling guilty about something?

Got man flu myself so not been out but it's the only thing that stops me.

Got the "sorry, I wouldn't normally bother you on Sunday but you're the only person available to cover on-call between 08.00 - 20.00" call. this morning. 😐
*Due to some cretin getting woefully trollied on the staff Chrimbo outing on Saturday night - said cretin may well be getting a few slaps come Monday morning*

I can always be bothered, just that sometimes I have other things to do. Such as go to work to help pay the mortgage & bills, or go & drown some worms & throw dead squid & mackerel back in the sea to feed the crabs. I can always be 'bothered' but biking's not the be all & end all for me.

Built a jump for my 3 and 5 year olds, and serviced the hub on my rear wheel.
