Not trivial but has definitely cheered me up - I'm off to Greece next week for a weeks sailing on a mates 51' yacht. Get some proper sailing in as on family holidays have to take it easy.0

Being overtaken by a white van on the way home. Passenger stuck his head out of the window and called out "You're a really good cyclist......I'll give you that!"
I have no idea why I deserved that and the "I'll give you that" concerns me a bit; sort of implies a missing sentence at the start eg "You are a complete knob but....." but it was a seemingly trivial thing that cheered me up!Faster than a tent.......0 -

I too confess to loving TMS. Even the never ending chats about pigeons and getting cake envy. I never get free cake.0

Lovely ride over to catch ToB at Sun Rising Hill KoM, free coffee and cake, friendly people chatting away, sunshine, unfamiliar roads there and back giving some prompts for alternative ride routes in future. Capped by seeing myself on the live recording at roadside encouraging van Baarle and the Mitchelton guy as they toil up that wicked hill. Boxes ticked today.0

what TMS yes its not quite as good as it used to be for sure imo, more commentating, less banter would be my changes to it0 -
For the first time ever I triggered one of those "watch your speed" signs yesterday morning. I'd always assumed they didn't register bikes, but there were no cars anywhere near this time.
But it was on a slight uphill, so disappointed with a green light and a thankyou for doing 18mph.
But then on the way home there was another one and this time I managed to get a red light at 32. Very satisfying.0 -

Well done -- I've never been able to trigger one.0 -

Must have been you that cursed them and led to 3 quick wickets! Still going well though and will be fun seeing what Buttler can do now they've got a healthy lead.0 -

Ha! Yes, I've just cut the grass and had headphones on listening and that exact thought did occur! Sorry...0 -
Just strayed into the Last Night of the Proms on tv and they were playing Land of Hope and Glory and amongst the Union Flags and the flags of St George were quite a few EU flags and it makes me smile that there will be loads of gammons going absolutely apeshit about it.0
