what did you do in the sun today?

Quick loop out of Otley:

Fell asleep in the sunshine after lunch & got sunburnt. Was lovely though, falling asleep outside like an old man.

No cycling this weekend. Have had the kids grandparents here for the weekend. Lots of bike talk, boys done good at their swimming lessons, a mondeo full to the roof of garden crap has gone to the tip and shed has been moved. Spent the day at Birdworld with kids and their grandparents today. Lovely day out even without bikes. My son had a mouse run up his sleeve and out the neck of his t shirt in the petting zoo bit which made him laugh. Penguins and flying displays a big hit too.

To top it all off got some unexpected cash as my dad had sold something of mine that was cluttering up his garden.

Spent this evening planning a big building project.

Picnic on Cissbury Ring with the family, boy hooning around on his balance bike, climbed some trees. Round to my folks for paella and a couple of beers. Quick 10 mile loop when kids were in bed, watched the sun go down from Cissbury at the same spot we’d been at a few hours previous, then bagged the KOM on the downhill (non-technical pedalfest but what the hell) that ends about 100m from my front door. Cracking ride yesterday too, why can’t all weekends have three days and sunshine?

Since I’m off the bike (medical reasons) for another couple of weeks, I cleaned all the commuting sh**e off my road bike. It’s now gleaming and ready for sunny summer rides.

Worked my arse off in retail.

Short ride from home to the Mother-in-laws to do some jobs. Very slow start as ended up herding some sheep with next-doors

Went out on the road bike and broke 10,000 feet of climbing for the first time..10,269ft to be exact in 82 miles,
Holme Moss and playing around on the nice silky smooth roads around Bradfield

Came home had a few cold beers !

Went to cannock….. But not with the mtb!

ah, Hednesford raceway, brings back memories

Cheers Rocketdog – knees aching somewhat now – not helped by standing up all day at work!

Got 3″ of sunburnt “cuffs” from where sleeves end to where gloves start. 😆

Total destruction! I hadn’t been for years but the kids wanted to go so…. It was the thing to do! 🙂
