binners - I need to get out on the trails. I'm also moving at the end of the month*, so there needs to be a Mersey valley swansong.

But, then I'll also be a cockstride (to use my father-in-law's vernacular) from Rivi.

*EDIT - did me with your edit....

Big one this year, going to give up the following:

Picking up the phone when it is the mother in law
Visiting the mother in law
Talking about the mother in law

I have left one concession. Allowing the mother in law to pick the kids up!

Going to be a tough 40 days and 40 nights ๐Ÿ˜€

We could do a sort of 'Goodbye from him, and hello from me' run. A two parter with a week or so in between. Mersey Valley ride with bottles of Sol outside Jacko's and a King Sized Mixed from the Turkish Delight one week, Rivi ride then pints of Scruggins Old Snarfnaffler, the next. And some pies

Its a win/win ๐Ÿ˜€

Thought about giving up cheese but don't think I have what it takes. Some challenges are just too big for a man.

Ride my bike more would probably be the extent of my Lent commitment.

I'm giving up cynicism and atheism. For the next 40 days I'm going to be a full blown religious nut.
