On a plane to Tromsø for a weeks so touring in the Lyngen Alps. Sent using Norwegian Air's on-plane wifi. Fancy.

Cycle over step dads 90th party for a bit then head to local wood to find some trails I've been told about then cycle home. Sunday mow lawns and then try about 30 miles up, down and along the Ridgway.
Off to QECP for the Night Gravity Enduro. It's my first race, so I'm cacking myself! Somebody mentioned DUST!!!
Gardening (joy...) tomorrow morning and a bbq in the afternoon. Riding somewhere on Sunday. I'd try to squeeze in a local ride tomorrow morning too but the riding around Oxford really is not motivating!
Road ride, BBQ, Gardening
Woburn singletrack stuff was pretty decent last night! Not as good as the dh stuff (which is just such a mess right now) but still pretty fun. Road bike this/tomorrow evening then I'll do some more woburn exploration on monday evening to avoid the rush hour traffic. Can see this being a regular occurrence after early shifts!
Forest of Dean camping, cider and sunshine 🙂
Update, now pissed on real ale.
Three day weekend here!
Its the lovely Mrs B's birthday on Sunday and we were both off on Friday so a shopping trip into Manchester and then lunch at Rio Ferdinands Rosso where no1 son cooked our starters and joined us for dessert. 8)
She's been over in scouseland today with family while I've spruced up the garden ready for a bit of an all day long celebration in the sun tomorrow.
No riding but still a great weekend!

The wife and I signed a temporary truce yesterday so that I could go and look at a van in Essex. It cost me a trip to Braintree Freport, but I can deal with that. However, we did have a very serious chat last night and things seem far better than they were at the beginning of the week.
With that in mind, I'm now booking our summer holiday and we're planning on doing a food festival/friends house for lunch and then a BBQ with the people across the road. We've also got some plants to get in the ground at the allottment.
Yesterday was a walk in the Chilterns. Wendover Woods. Not the most scenic but we had 3 dogs along
Then a BBQ with sister in Laws family
Mum over for Coffe this morning. Then Woburn with the in laws in a minute (biking st Woburn)
Had a lovely chilled weekend camping near Church Stretton. Sadly no bike, but lots of beer, food & beautiful weather. I'm sure I spotted some STW'ers too at the dragon and on our campsite
some great Live Blues/Jazz in the pub garden yesterday nursing sunburn and hangover today
Lovely 25 miler in the South Dales despite niggling injuries and discovering I'd left my helmet somewhere I shouldn't have. 🙂
Blinking lovely wasn't it 8)
Hope your legs hurt this morning. 😆
Yes mine hurt
Too ashamed to say how little biking was needed
