Yeah it's Friday

A few meetings and staff issues are all that stands between me and the pub :lol:

    Friday means an early finish so that's good.

    Pizza and a film later 8)

    Fryday means a plateful of fried foods and dead pig based products. I think I'll skip the bubble as that's verging on healthy and replace it with congealed pigs blood.
    Lovely day out there, the downside of this is I feel like I've been pepper sprayed again, my eyes are stinging like fook.
    Onwards and upwards...

    Today is sunny so I am going to go work out of my local coffee shop in the sunshine and admire some of the people who walk past

    Afternoon, no pub for me today but I will have some plonk when I get home tonight. Made surprisingly good time into work this morning (Kent to NW1 in 50 minutes) despite having beer and curry in town last night. Good starter for 10 for the Sunday morning roadie trip in the North Downs.

    Onwards to more caffeine and tax 'mitigation' :wink:

    You've changed. Do you pedal up the hills now?
    This coming from the fool that's doing 125 road miles on Sunday

    Shocking isn't it. No uplifts unless I manage to grab a passing lorry. Mind you if I manage a quarter of the diatance you're doing that's not too bad (am doing it with a mate who has had bronchiectasis(?) and needs to shed a bit of timber so don't want to risk killing him :) )

    But I am going 'vanning' again in 2 weeks.

    I thought you'd misunderstood the name North Downs and hadn't realised there were ups as well. ;-)
    Whilst I've ridden 80+ miles off road in a day, I've not done 100 miles on road before. But I reckon 125 on road will be easier than 80 off. I'll confirm if this is true on Monday.
    I'm surprised you can wait another 2 weeks to give the new bike a proper hammering.

    With wit like that you could be on 'Britain's Got Talent' :wink: Let us know how you manage on the L2B2L.

    Trouble with uplifts is they're in the Kindom of Far Far Away (Wales) and have limited availability. Add in weekend family stuff and sorting days off work with riding buddies and it's a bit tricky. Chucking it down the step in our local park doesn't quie cut it.
