Morning Losers!

This is the first weekend in a veeeery long time that I've had completely to myself. Genuinely feel like I should do this more often. It makes me realise how people are so tired during the week compared to the way I feel.

Anywho, today, I'm contemplating going to watch the tour of France thing. Will probably cycle out to a more remote place, mainly because I don't like people. I'm sure I won't be the only one with that idea though.

Laters!

    Morning lovers of bike

    listening to the weather outside i think today will be TV based, may pop into town later to see how the prep for tomorrows grand depart are coming on.

    Hope Matthew H doesn't come down here on his TdF drinkathon, there'll be no booze left in the pubs!

    Anyhoo, proper fry up inbound with some black pudding from Bury, Yorkshire!!

    Morning Mongs,

    My body armour reeked so much I had to wash it to stop the complaints from the rest of the family about the stench in the garage :) Have also done a spot of car fettling in advance of next Friday's outing. A few more jobs then I'm getting stuff ready for a work trip to Milan tomorrow.

    Grass hoovered, house jobs done.

    Weather is spot on.

    I'll watch the ghey lycra men cum past at the bottom of the road in a bit (think they're due to come past at 2:30), then back to doing something productive like repairing the bike after yesterdays epic ride which took its toll on the poor ole thing.

    Happy bumming!

    Where abouts in da Hudd are you? I met up with CWNT this morning. Heading out to Holme in a bit to see if it's quieter there

    Between Hudd and Honley, was watching along the A616. 30 mins of hanging around for 20 seconds of pleasure...

    Holme being quiet? You're avin a laff, that was probably the busiest part of the whole race. Everyone went mad for the Holme Hill climb.

    Yup. You're not wrong! I did manage to find a nice quietish corner though. Didn't get a great view, but got to see them climb the hill. Damn they're quick!

    That'd be the drugs. I'd be just as quick if I took as many drugs but my body is a temple and I refuse to poison it with such things.
    Afternoon all. Haven't done a whole lot today, what a surprise. Went to a neighbours for a bbq yesterday and ate and drank too much. Went to my folks for lunch today then skinned a couple of fingers working on the Mini. About to go for a ride round Richmond Park with the main objective of getting to a pub. Asked the boy if he wanted to join us as he managed a lap on his unicycle yesterday. He laughed at me and said he could barely climb the stairs. Wimp.

    Back from the hilly place that is Yorkshire.

    Great fun the last couple of days, but knackered now. Time for a bath and bed
