Aloha, good morning all.

After a quick ride on the blue at swinley last night back at work for another 12 hours today, hurrah!

meant to be bright and sunny all day here which makes being here all the worse, still at least i get to ride in and home again in this weather.

Laters.

    considering how much I drank I feel rather good this morning.

    A few hours of work this morning will be followed by a decent bike ride over to a local point to point where I am the nominated driver - so the drinking will stop for a day :(

    Morning Losers!

    The sun is beaming here in da Hudd, and I'm up to head out to the Peaks. I've lost my mojo for it though, I know Ladybower is going to be rammed with the red socks brigade, and I don't know if I cba running into them. Plus, I want to get started on my Pikes.

    Hmmm we shall see

    Laters!

    I'm not going. Instead, some shopping for the Pikes, plus a canvas bag or something for my wet riding clothes, and then a picnic with Hot Librarian

    No BH in NL so first day at work, actually in the office since Easter. Only in for Tuesday and Wednesday though as the dutch still have the BH on the religious day (Thurs) so could be worse!

    Good Morning Freaks!

    Yay, it's the Bank Holiday! Well, actually I've got all week off... Which means I'm not too fussed that we're going out for a picnic today, will get the riding and fettling in when Mrs C is back at work.

    Need to order stuffs from CRC though...

    Morning Gimboids,

    Blazing sunshine outside so I am taking junior and one of her mates for a bike ride round the woods as that's the best chance for some pedalling today. Apart from that, not a lot planned. I'm tired and need some more coffee to kick start the system!

    PS: welcome back El Cap.

    Tired. Damn siblings think it's the best thing in the world to wake up their big sister at 7am each morning of the weekend.

    Bike ride round the Fod yesterday totally worn me out (even though I was a bit of a pootler), then the added pain of being roped into a game of tennis after. I actually fell asleep on the sofa at one point.

    Today is time for chore avoidance. First thing to avoid is the mowing of the lawn...

    The Pikes are now in pieces in the shed. Once the oil and new spring hae arrived, I'll build it back up. Hopefully it shouldn't take too long. Not sure what, but I pulled pieces of rubber out of one of the uppers, so that could have been causing problems. I'm quite hopeful that fresh oil will solve the problems :?

    Now, ice cream!
