It's a nice day and I have a sudden urge to go out on my bike for a blast around the village. I'm going to give in and head out for 30 minutes. Work can wait for that length of time I think.
Are you lot able to cope with that better than people at work?
Aye, get yourself out and have some fun. You're a long time dead, after all 😀
Crack on! (just did the same thing this morning)
30 minute ride? it takes me double that to faff before I get out the door!
Well, I have returned and I feel so much better for getting out. Yes, it was windy, yes it was muddy, but the sun was out, I could feel smug going past the cars in a traffic jam and I had a cracking blitz round the village.
I think everyone should have to do that at lunchtime, it would make them feel so much better.
On a fettling note, the bike was pretty much dialled in from the last lot of maintenance. All it needed was a bit of air in the tyres and I was off. Although I do need to sort out the front tube as the valve is a bit sticky. Maybe later.
CX bike with guards, toolbag, overshoes, lights and showerproof strapped to the frame - it does make getting out a lot easier, just a case of finding your spd shoes and jacket.30 minute ride? it takes me double that to faff before I get out the door!
But yeah my mtb rides take 30-60mins to get kitted up and out the door 🙁
I'd have a nap.
Cycle commute, short way in, long way home. Lunch is for fuelling the after work fun
I traded the chance of a ride for clearing a mountain of ironing.
I suspect my quest for brownie points will prove fruitless
Mo'Cash, we appreciate it. Good on you for being so selfless and helping out around the house. To show solidarity, I have just emptied the washing machine and put the laundry out to dry.
Next job is the dishwasher.
Lightweight - I'd done all that [b]before[/b] the ironing!
It's not a competition, but I have also walked the dogs and made a cuppa. However, I am now out of Rich Tea
I'm about to put tea on for the wife, kids and in laws before [s]escaping[/s] sacrificing another evening to the Scout Stamp & Deliver Christmas card delivery service! 😉
Damn you! I was just going to put my feet up and relax.
I might have to go and change the stem and bars on my wife's bike now.
Does she know?
Not yet. In fact, it's a possibility that she might not notice.
