    Good morning

    Just about to go off lambing. Hopefully we'll have more of the little feckers than we did yesterday morning.

    No time for bikes today, this saddens me.

    Anyway TTFN

    Sounds like a good weekend, your cold windowless box makes me think of this vid. Not sure if it's been posted before but meh.

    My tickets for my trip to Sanremo were waiting for me when I got in this morning too *happy dances on desk*

    :x wtf it was sunny yesterday, now it's all cloudy.

    At least today's hospital visit won't be as awkward as yesterday's :lol:

    They have my mum's bed right next to a desk, walked in all hot and sweaty and some young nurse is sat there.

    Today shall involve going to work, visiting mum, and watching footie. Might have a friend over, so long as she's quiet during the football....

    Oh well. Such is life.

    Another day of spending someone elses cash.

    Good Morning Freaks!

    Who stole the sunshine? :shock:

    Well after yesterday's epic ride of HONC, I though my legs would be dead and my ar5e a tad tender this morning, but no, nothing of the sort. If anything I was flying along this morning on the commute. Didn't push it though, deciding to do just the 9 miles in.

    At this point I might like to mention that a certain other member of this establishment failed to finish the 50km route yesterday. Obviously I'm not going to mention Andy's name as it would be a real shame to embarrass him like this. :D

    Got stuffs to sort out in the office today, nothing too taxing. Then it will be off home for a bit of fettling on the XTC - obviously needs a clean, but the forks virtually siezed up yesterday. Might be negative air pressure loss.

    I also need a coffee and definately something with bacon in it.

    Laters.

    Coffee and bacon have been consumed, now to sit in a box and miss all the glourious sun shine :(

    Morning all what an amazing weekend hope you were able to make the most of it.

    Yours truly spent Saturday assembling The One Greenhouse To End Them All, thus scoring 10,000,000 bike ride vouchers from mrs blitz. Sunday was a family day - we all went for a walk - and then spent the afternoon 'enjoying the garden'. My god it was difficult :)

    'Well after yesterday's epic ride of HONC, I though my legs would be dead and my ar5e a tad tender this morning, but no, nothing of the sort'.

    I thought I'd be feeling it too this morning, but after the 100km ride yesterday I'm feeling quite good also :D

    Didn't enjoy the climbs on the loop section,though the cake stop at the checkpoint was welcome, awesome day for it and well enjoyed.

    Today will be mainly meh as typical following a cracking wkend.. Must crack on.

    Yes, that first single track (very muddy) climb was a bit of a beast. I’d viewed the profile on the GPS on Saturday, so knew it was coming. Managed to clear it – I was lucky someone pushing held open the gate for me halfway up. And I'm one of those strange people who just loves climbs...

    Good morning interneteer's, I was really looking foward to catching up with some people off here yesterday, mainly one guy I've seen a few times at SITS, I think he is called Andy.

    Anyway news came through at HONC that he'd given up after 45 minutes as it was too tough... Funny that because it took 20 minutes to get through the town in a mass start and it was all downhill and a bit of flat tarmac.

    Oh well, I'm sure he some sort of major mechanical faliure to make him give up at such an early stage.

    Current conditions are as follows...

    Car:- Still full of bike.
    Bike:- Still in car full of dust.:
    Kit:- see above
    Legs:- OK, they dont feel like they ridden 65 miles ( 2 extra for me as I missed the turning back into the schhol)
    Arse:- Entirely the opposit of the above.

    EDIT: How's your neck this morning?

    My arms are still glowing a tad...

    morning. I'm sitting at my desk waiting for somebody to let me know where the weekend went.
    Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

    Indeed. I finished the last of the Dutch stuff Matt brought me from Holland whilst watching the highlights of the Paris Roubaix (which is the professional roadies trying to be XC racers on cobbles - funny, catastrophic and awesomeness all in the same race).

    Afternoon all. I was rudely awaken this morning by the foundations being made with a piledriver for the new block of flats being built down the road. I took the opportunity of being awake at a respectable time to go to the library to revise, then nipped into Brum.

    At HONC yesterday, I was left wishing I'd had a go at the 100km option. I was convinced at the start that I wouldn't have managed it, so went for the 50, but with how I felt at the end, I could have pretty easily done more, had I taken a bit of food with me. Ah well. I'd been hoping to see a couple of people more than Andy (Rich and Stu, where the hell were you? How did you stay hidden so effectively?), but rode around on my own. Beautiful day for it though...

    We were going for stealth, by that I mean hidden somewhere in the middle of the mass start.

    I thought Stu drooped you a text???

    I spent a good 15 minutes looking around the start area for you and Andy. Only saw Andy by 'accident' when I shipped my chain and was trying to catch back up with Rich and Wes (Rich's friend). After doing both the 50km and 100km, I think I'll be sticking to the 100km route. Although twice the distance, there seemed to be disproportionally more sections of road in the 100km than the 50km, which made the extra distance more do-able. And, I had enough food to feed a small 3rd world country for a week with me...

    It's possible he did, but the phone I'm temporarily using sometimes horribly malfunctions with things as complicated as text messages...
