    We've just hired a replacement for my job position (for some unknown reason I've received a promotion) and he starts on Monday. What this translates to is that I'm going to be nailed to the office and up to my eyeballs for at least a month to six weeks whilst I mentor the guy into the role - ergo unless a weekend ride I'm out for a bit. Bugger.
    Only way that could be worse is if they promoted you into a new role and still expected you to do the original one as well. ;) Sounds like we will have to catch you after than then although I could be up for some weekend rides once the weather gets a little more friendly.

    The banker has just rung and offered £1, no deal :lol:

    You going to pootle? Twenty mins to Mangotsfield and another 20 to BIH. Bitton station is 35mins from this keyboard. I can go slow but might need stabilisers to go that slow :lol:

    Green bike for me as it has the lights and 705 already on it and gears aren't needed on the cyclepath unless you're trying to evade people chasing you with sticks.

    That's not fair. I didn't even know he was chasing me until the two of us + my bike were in an unattractive heap on the floor. :oops:

    Looks like the beers are on me, but at least I'll have a chance of keeping up. In the words of Ross Geller, I'm still carrying a little "holiday weight"...

  • Sorry guys, had a minor off today (own fault, low speed, nothing serious) but I think I would be stupid to ride on my rather bruised left hip tonight. Next time gents...

    I'm home, survived the dark scary bits I was forced to ride alone. Time for supper me thinks. My neck is sore as buggery from carrying the lock 20 miles for a drink, why can't it want a drink closer to home?

    Got home at 10.30 - I was in bits. Seriously need to get fitter, being left behind by a SS and a fixie is not at all cool.

    Thanks for a good night; I'd quite like to return to the B-i-H to see if they "run out of cheesecake" again. Having said that, I do think it's curry night next time!

    She definately had a "thing" for you & cheescake story was just an excuse to see your manly, lycra clad body in closer quaters....... :shock:

    About the same time as me. I was absolutely soaked by the time I got home and as I pulled the bike indoors I heard a hissing noise which turned out to be a puncture in my rear tyre. :(

    Mind you I shouldn't complain at least it held up until I got indoors as I wouldn't have fancied changing it in the dark and the rain. :lol:
