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.

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

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 😀

Driving to Cheshire to pick up our new dog

I’ll be wandering around York with my wife……..and NO kids.

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 🙂

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..

Got an infection a week ago which had me in hospital, now got 6 weeks shuffling between sofa and bed, so sofa and bed for me

Strata Bianca on a strada bianca.

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.

Early doors session with the Fat dads surf club at watergate this morning.

Another early morning stroll.

20 degrees at 6am…lovely stuff.

Lawn cut, having a cold shower then hopefully off to local beer festival.
