Morning bumders

Dentist this morning. Aside from that, bit of shopping to do and possibly bikes. Could be worse I guess.

    today will be work avoidance and ear batterings.

    Good ride yesterday, nice bit of fun with a bit of fitness thrown in.

    anyway i will be resting my eyes now as they hurt from seeing pictures of Gazlar from saturday.

  • Another weekend disappears and Monday rolls around once more.

    Today will be decision day for would-be minion selection. Someone is going to be pleased and some others are not but, hey, that's life.

    Badminton tonight then chill out for the rest of the evening.

    Later......

    Sincere apologies for my absence, I've been a bit busy and stuff.
    Did I miss anything? Having had a quick look, sounds like not much is going on here...

    The Show went well, The Event went well, ended up going to The Event part 2 - BPW opening weekend, which was nice.
    I've been to France and ridden my bike a bit down some silly difficult stuff. Come back home and discovered I can't ride easy stuff. Got over that this weekend while having fun at Swinley. Got rained on for the first time in ages.
    Other than that life is a bit good and I'm feeling a bit smug. About bl00dy time if you ask me.

    Kisses

    that's about it.

    Morning you charitable little barstards,

    2 Weeks today we will be setting off from Sunny North Wales on a little ride you may have heard about and suffice to say, I'm bricking it. Go sponsor us yeah?

    Olah. Wedding fun this weekend. Suffice to say I feel like I need a holiday now. I was doing warm vodka shots at 2am in a field, I fell down the stairs in the house and am covered in bruises. I looked like a real girl and people aren't recognising me in photos...

    My mum was slating my sister to guests. Also managed to have an argument with the bro in law who basically had a break down in the middle of the field when a plate didn't match the others on the table. I called him a knob and threw him out of the marquee if all he was going to do was criticise what we had done without him in two days when he swanned up on Thursday night.

    Work sucks. Playing catch up.

    A quick phone call to Loco makes it sound as though my rear shock is fubar'd and probably needs to be repaired by Mojo, meaning I may not get it back in time for the cc2cc. Farking brilliant.

    Minion testing is going on, I've been busy all morning, and one more to complete. It's been a mixed bag....

    Just been out for a spin on the roadie before I pack it away. Lovely ride until literally 300m from home some stupid cow in a mini tries to overtake me around the outside of a corner and cuts into me on the apex :roll:

    Turns out the twatting window of a car and riding a bike aren't compatible, least of all when you're doing 35+kph. Next time I'll aim for the wingmirror. That act in itself didn't do much to help me stay on, in fact if I hadn't done that I probably could have avoided scraping my chainstay and pedal up the kerb but I kind of felt I needed to make my presence known before I got completely squished. To cap it all my hand hurts and I got a mouthful of abuse because it's my own fault for being there in the first place apparently...

    For me at least she completely fulfilled the young female driver stereotype that we've been seeing on twitter over the past few months :roll:

    Evening cuntchops, dweebs and chuktas

    Farq it has been bloody cold today.

    The only entertainment - My 2 and a half year old pushing my 1 year old upstairs as it was bedtime. I guess the 'older' one has assumed some sort of authority.
    I just stood back, arms wide waiting for a casualty of gravity that never happened.

    Now whats the name of that gadget that KMC make that replaces the skewer nut so that you can mount yet another cycle light to your bike? I am determined to be lit up like a christams tree this winter...
