Right, I've had enough of this. Can someone leave the fridge door open again?

    Oh quit moaning. I'm luvving it :P :D:D

    Can I put in a request for some fit male cyclists to be on CS7 tomorrow morning during my commute please? The lack of eye candy for this old biddy is getting tiresome :(

    Heh, caught some driver perving on me yesterday. Looked around while stopped at lights on a roundabout and she did the 'trying to look away without appearing too embarrassed' thing.

    Loving it, nice to get out in the midday sun for a lunch hour ride up some local hills.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    I'm so glad we've finally got some good weather.
    Sorry Wanda, that's the wrong way for me, I'm not fit and I certainly wouldn't consider myself eye candy.
    So you'll be glad I'm not going your way.

    Pfft, this is the time of year when I can tell people to MTFU. If it's under 35, you shouldn't be complaining.


    Under 10 degrees and I'll moan. But now, when it's warm, :D

    I suspect the weather may turn nasty again at some point and you're well prepared. I just hope it's not for a few months yet.

    Booked today and tomorrow off a while back done, got really lucky with the weather. Put down ~60 miles today. If I can get another 60 in tomorrow that'll be over 200 miles in a week. The sweat's OK so long as you're moving fast enough for it to evaporate. Makes grinding up hills a bit less fun.

    I had something buzzing around my brain bucket, not a wasp though. *rumages through Mrs Ini's drawers for hosiery.*

    Mini Ini mk1 just got back from school, wants to go for a ride, that'll be another 10ish.

    Okay, I regret making this thread the first time around, seeing as it jinxed the weather.
    Seems summer is arriving again.

    I've only just noticed that "Further ahead" button on the bbc weather. It indicates that Wednesday may reach 32 :D

    Yup, weekend is supposed to be fantastic (and I'm at home with major man-flu today - it had better clear by Saturday.

    Still, my earlier post on this thread back in May appears to have been prophetic........sorry and all that!
