God answers back, "No."

It's been a whole 5 days since my last bike ride, boo hoo :cry:

Must be something to do with my up bringing, I felt I needed to confess my guilty secret.

What's your sin...?

Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Well, duh. If you live on seeds and water, I'm surprised you've got enough energy to even start a thread. 8)

    It has been 2 whole days since my last ride.
    Not feeling 100% at the mo, and I still think I should be on my bike :D
    I need a rest, but I'm fighting my conscience!

    I am driving my bike halfway home and then dropping the van off at my folks. I would cycle carrying the van as that is the MTFU way to do things but I only brought my 30l rucsac today. I shall therefore beast myself on the hilly home variant for driving on the day of our commuting god.

    I hate it when I can't get out on my bike.
    Then again my wife is also starting to dislike it as she says I'm more irritable on the days I don't cycle commute! Guess it's just a good way of working off all the excess energy I build up! Heck I even felt better the other day after having a run around the park when playing with the kids :-)

    Having said that it's not all bad, it gives me a good excuse to get out more often

    :lol:

    And fixed too no doubt.

    I've had a full day off. Having been out cycling at least 20 miles 12 out of the last 13 days, I think I can justify a rest. Even if I did want to go and see my parents (75 mile round trip) and pick up a fresh set of tires for my bike.
