Bike loaded, puncture fixed in spare tub, bag nearly packed, e-****-normous bowl of pasta eaten.

Just waiting for the Northern contingent to show.

Bike loaded – **** all else ready though and the pub is calling for a couple of pints.

See you all at 9.00!

Looking forward to the ride on the Q’s & meeting some STW’ers.

e-****-normous bowl of pasta eaten

Bike all ready, looking forward to it.

Bike in lounge to save faffing in garage and waking neighbours at the crack of dawn. Change of mind with bike meant pedals needed to be swapped, mud tyres pumped, lube applied.

Just sat down for a beer, had better just make it the one though 😯

Looking forward to meeting everyone 8)

Well im just about to make lunch, got lots of spare drink. Bought a mothers day card as i wont be able to do that in holford!
Bike is urrr Dirty… and the alarm is set for 9.50 😉

See you aaaaalllll there! xxx

mud tyres not r’qd….

Helmet, shoes, bike & Camelbak ready in porch. 1.5 litre bottle of water for Camelbak in car. (Got a bit of an intermittant Camelbak bladder leak so best not to fill it til last minute). Motorway turn-off junction double checked & memorised. Parma ham for sarnies hidden from kids under salad tray in fridge.

Feeling a bit better after a knockout virus 🙂 so I may slither up into the middle or even the ‘ardcore ride group!

See you in the morning.

Yes I know I don’t need mud tyres!!! But on a whim I went tubeless, on two sets of wheels!! I need to get my money’s worth from the sealant 🙄

Feel free to laugh at me, I’m used to it 😆

have you bolted your saddle on good & proper??

Oh yes, double checked n’all. I’m just waiting for the next component to fracture at a critical moment !

I wouldnt be at all surprised if Charlie is late. I’ll be even more surprised if Sharki has lube on his chain !

Just back from the shop…nom noms for my preride on the hills fry up and beers for the campfire sing along int evening..

Knottie.
chain is brushed lubed and the bike is semi cleaned and polishedish.

Just had dinner in nether stovey, drove down today and staying local.

Bike needs a little oil on chain and will then be ready to go

See you all tomorrow looking forward to riding somewhere new

Hrmph! Don’t have time to join-in grrr. Will be doing a short, early ride in Cheddar as minor consolation.

Blew the dust of an MTB (lying half-buried under a pile of road bikes) which I *think* just about works, half-packed the HAWG, got my clobber ready laid out, and I might remember to fill camelbak and make some sarnies in the morn.

Setting off at 7am. So time for beddy-by-boes, now.

Zzzzzzzzzz

OMG, the fair weather brigade are breaking free from there winter hideaways 😉

All packed and early to bed at half ten so fresh.

That was the plan until my niece woke me up at 4am. Still awake and feeling knackered now. BLOODY KIDS!

The other two pubs didn’t look so good and wasn’t me waving was having coffee and cake at the b and b then yummy it was too
