    Further to my earlier anti-rant, the switch between networks all done in less than 48 hours- calls made on the new SIM show up as the old number & calls to same come through. Well done Virgin/Vodafone (I'm not saying which I was swapping to/from).

    Party time. Whoo hoo. Go on. :)

    I expect he was a thoroughly decent chap with marvelous pillar-of-the-community wife and two excellent children who spend their spare time doing errands for elderly neighbours. Probably.

    Here's an anti-rant. M'chum phoned late yesterday and asked if I could give him a lift in today as his car's in for service. But but but but Wednesday's one of my two biking in days I protested, but gave in anyway - shoe might be on the other foot one day & all that. Drove in, nice easy journey, nice to have a bit of company once in awhile, didn't and haven't missed being on the bike. You can have too much of a good thing sometimes.

    It might have been the potential for being stuck on a bike for a week with a load of people you might not want to spend a week with. Or half an hour come to that. :wink:

    Last night my better half found a wallet laying in the middle of the road. All the normal stuff: cards, small change and a driving licence but no other contact details.
    Looked up the address and swung a 4 mile diversion on my commute this morning to pop it through his letterbox.

    My reward: satisfaction of a good deed done and the pleasure of a few extra miles out on the road this morning, which felt really good. Think I will look into some route to extend my commute on a more regular basis. :)

    Another lovely morning.

    Me and my cycling buddy rode in at a decent pace. Mostly good drivers. I'm number 1 on a Strava segment :D

    Lovely commute, only pootled in this morning rather than balls out and didn't let the RLJer's and white truck man bother me in the slightest.

    Arrived at work only a few minutes later than normal in a rather relaxed mood!

    pootling may be the way forward.

    Kieran Burns was out cycling. He tracked 12.14 mi in 37m:00s.
    Personal best 10 miles of 28m:45s which is a 1m:38s improvement.

    That is all :mrgreen:

    It was like the Giro had visited Lanarkshire this morning with around a dozen cyclists in several small groups on the road out of Carluke.

    Amen to that.

    There are days when I can imagine the drivers think I'm mad for being on a bike.

    This was one of the days when I think everyone in a tin box is absolutely insane. Why? Why wouldn't you want to be out in this?

    Just beeeeyooootiful! :D

    Oh, and thye might be mental, but at least they were all well behaved today :)

    woohoo got haribo with my order from wiggle.

    Although I probably shouldn't be eating them, might make the shorts that came with them slightly less tight.

    How nice was last night?

    Had a nice saunter with the GF down to bishops park in the evening - grabbed an ice-cream on the way.

    Felt like a proper holiday. Wonderful.

    Pffft. I get very over-excited about nice weather.

    If it wasn't for the GF I'd already be living in the med somewhere.

    Sitting behind the girl on the vintage Peugeot, whom was wearing see through leggings on the commute home last night. Was well worth the pootle.

    Last September I did a charity fun ride around Donington Park (Ride the Curves) and took my helmet cam along to record the fun. I edited out some highlights and put the vid up on Youtube just for the hell of it.

    A mate of mine mentioned it was on again this year (anyone in the area: sign up, it's GREAT fun!) and that they had highlights from the previous year including a video (but he couldn't see me on it)

    So I go to the Hope Against Cancer site, find the link and look at the vid... my vid! :lol::D:lol:

    Unutterably cool and I'm really happy they saw fit to use it. It still makes me laugh whenever I see my overtake of a guy dying on the saddle when going past Starkey's Bridge
