STEFANOS4784

Definately yes. Have you seen the weather? Gotta work and got a call to say a couple of mates are riding to Corsham, absolute waste of time being here

porker33

Yes, went out this morning at 6.40am...came back at 9.00am...Job done!

Bunneh

Nah, got no bike...with bike yes I would because I'd ride over to give her her pressie

chaffordred

Definitely yes. Did my chores yesterday, 60 Miler this morning, out to a restaurant this afternoon and if the missus is good, I'll let her come too.

tlw1

had the green light, but spent the time getting the bike & kit ready for a week away cycling next week!

Wife & kids have gone to pick my mother up & I will meet them at the pub once the gp has ended!

hambones

Yes - my wife isn't my mother!!! :?

SBezza

Yes

I was up at 5:30, to get ready for racing. Raced, and then got home about 11:30. Just spent the last couple of hours watching the F1 as well.

As above my wife is not my mum, and my mum is out of the country. My lad was around, and he even woke up the wife nice and early LOL.

stokepa31

just back from 50. wife gone out to her mums

took mine out yesterday so all good. Jesus it was windy. felt like 100

gregster10217

I WOULD have been out this morning but got called into work yesterday - 18 hrs at double time, and back in at 6am this morning, again for double time. Cannot turn that kind of money down, not now it's approaching £1000 in o/t alone but will make up for the lack of riding this week.

itboffin

Yep took wife and daughter with me, stopped at the pub now home for a roast dinner and watch the recorded F1

sampras38

almost the same for me! my mums in spain and my son was over and was up before i left and her 2 kids caused major grief while i was out! lol thank god. Then we took em to cinema.


I dont suppose you were one of the guys doing the time trial along the A20 between leeds and charing????

Papapete

Yep, out at 8am home by 10am as wife worked nights last night and got home at 8 this morning. She had to stay up with 2 kids that had just got up all re-enegised after a good nights sleep!!

But again, she's my wife and not my Mum!

furrag

I had my days schedule written up yesterday.

Up at 6:30, out at 7:15am. 26 mile bike ride, and back at 9am. Lots of breakfast, a little sleep, and then watched the F1. At 13:50, I went for a 6 mile long slow run, and was at the families mothers day meal for 15:00. My family likes a liquid lunch, so like a dog and as anticipated, I got all the scraps! Worked an absolute treat!

redjeepǃ

Not only did I get out, but I also had a puncture, had forgotten my pump and by this stage was seperated from the group, so had to phone my wife who had to stop making lunch to come and get me. (That's never happened before).

Oh the shame. The indignity..... :oops:

The_Beast

For sure I went out.

In fact today, went out, came back, cooked breakfast, then cooked some more breakfast when the old man turned up with my brother. Watched the GP and then cooked Sunday dinner for all the family, Mum happy as, crikey I need a wife for doing all that.

friso

I thought about it for a moment

But if i cant spoil the wife of my kids at least one day a year (breakfast in bed etc) there would be something wrong

Kind of glad i stayed at home as the guys i would of riden with today went out and sadly resulted in an accident leaving one in hospital with a fractured skull

Only four weeks to the lakeland loop so hopefully missing training this morning wont hinder me to much

Pokerface

Yup. It's not Mother's Day in Canada.

Yes we were doing a 3up TTT on the A20.

bigpikle

no - did a half marathon instead

Ands

As a mother, I thought it was my right to get a ride today.....and a long one at that.
However, a visit from the norovirus fairy last night meant that I was mopping up sick from 2am onwards for my 5 year-old. I was too tired to do anything this morning (plus I wouldn't have wanted to go out while she is so poorly.)

velvetytoast

Out by 7:30 and back by 9:30 - They were still all in bed!!!

Aye same here. Don't have Fathers Day to worry about either. Unless my kids feel like taking me out, which I doubt :roll:

Slimbods

I rode to my mothers, about 45 miles. Card was nice and sweat soggy by the time she got it

fungus_the_muffin_man

Not a problem since I got divorced
