    I'm sure there'll be people there on friday, too.

    How was the trip?

    Good thanks! Much cycling was done and I now have very silly tan lines. Well, not as silly as you lot after the last day in wales, but that washed off...

    Where are those photos? On second thoughts, they should be vetoed* ;)

    * I realised afterwards that my silly red tan lines didn't make the photo. Oh well

    Nope, but your stripey calves did! They're on facebook...

    Yup, I have beer on my mind this early in the day. :shock:

    I'll probably be there for 18:15-30. :)

    I'm off the beer this week, which I think might have something to do with my two back to back PB's

    So just a large G&T for me then :wink:

    BTW, I'm riding my commuting hack which is a dirty, yellow Appollo, as in Halfords cheapo bike, so no sniggering, finger pointing or name calling....

    Well that blows my theory that you are a figment of Leo's imagination out of the water.

    They will. They made fun of my poor ol' commuter a couple of weeks ago. They're ruthless.

    That implies that the tape in question covered the bars... it didn't... and it was electrician's or 'magic' tape!

    I think I might have to start some sort of avatar fixing service. The two examples at the very top of this page are all sorts of horrible.

    If JonG was really that shape it would be remarkable that he could get up hills at all.

    I'm a bit bigger than that in RL, it's true.
