hi peoples, set off at 6:30 this morning.. rain all the way... alderley-edge macclesfield and up towards cat n fiddle. things changed.
as i ascended it was all fog and rain. got to the tea room at 9:00 and sign said "open at 10:00". so ventured further to cat n fiddle pub, they open at 11:00.... so much for a glorious coffee... now on the way down...HAILSTONE :!:
looking through one eye as the hail was forcing the other shut and the wind blowing me all over the show. thank god i made it home. seal skins socks absolutely drenched...INSIDE was a full of water :?: as daft as it was it was EPIC

Should have asked Bhima to lend you a banana.0

Did you see Bhima? Seriously. Every time I've been up there this year I've seen him.
If you didn't see Bhima then there are only two possibilities:
1. You made this up.
2. You ARE Bhima.0 -
Bhima was going so fast he couldn't be spotted.0

bhima, :?: .. on the way up i didnt spot anybody... there was one cyclist on the way down as i was cycling up. old chap, with a beard.
on my the way down there were 2 road cyclists at about 9:30ish.
one of them had blue white and red bike cyclist wear on. he was a happy chappy and smiled as i waved them on my way down. the other guy was a right miserable get. i wouldnt be surprised if anyone saw me at all. bit silly really and dangerous. sat here and playing with my little girl (5mths old) i don't think ill do it again. especially as the guy in the tea room just looked through the window and pointed to the sign "CLOSED"... 0 -
You don't know who thee Bhima is? omg rofl
p.s. He's some guy probably with autism who has been given some cult status0 -
aah.. i gets you. thought he was some hardcore bike guru..lol.. cheers 0

Nah he's just an ex poster on here who now does apparently nothing but climb the cat & fiddle.0

And has a fanclub with a book of excuses readily used when he races and doesn't place well.nweststeyn wrote:Nah he's just an ex poster on here who now does apparently nothing but climb the cat & fiddle. 0 -
You have all cursed Bhima... see what happens, rain, hailstones, wind, one-eyed blindness and shut venues. The bearded miserable man was a hades reconnaisance spy. You now have to exorcise the curse. Don't know what recipes to use but suppose we comandeer cleats cauldron and use aggies basement with a big munter to stir the pot... this is real heavy man. Curse of the forum riders.
Sorry, its late and I got work tomorrow which I am not looking forward to and earlier I had a scrap with a 17 month old toddler (after a leg breaking hilly bike ride which goosed me) who did'nt want a nappy change so I've gone off the rails a bit on some hope of distraction/abstract recovery technique, its not working. I need pills, lots of pills...seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
I've got Cod Liver Oil pills, will they do?0
