Dog walkers - w@nkers, I tell you. Mind you, I don't think he expected me to stop when he started shouting insults. "Son [condescending basket], watch yer heid disna fa' awf shakin' it like that"
Me: "You're a miserable old f****r".

Despite that, the ride was good, sunny but very cold.

laters.

    Thought dog walkers were a problem for mountain bikers not roadies?

    Now playing Dad's taxi while stropteen plays with that other cyclists favourite, horses.

    Not watching the game Stevo? Late start but blasted out 50 miles, forgot to start the garmin so was actually 60, but those 10 don't count eh.

    No football for us until tomorrow, that extra days rest is a win, shame we aren't like to benefit from it.

    Found two new bikes to buy depending on when they can be delivered.
    Bought two new shirts from Eton (sweden). Now I just want to eat eat and eat.

    I like horses. then again I ride them so I should do

    Called this mornings ride off due to ice.

    Read some of the usual drivel on here, posted some more drivel to keep up.

    Nope, but was sitting in the car listening on the radio. Not a great result but that's life, will watch MOTD later.

    Nothing against horses myself but it is juniors main hobby and she loves them.

    Worse hobbies out there, and some which are cheaper and less time consuming, but wait we all ride bikes.

    Better 1 point than none and it was away from home.

    Yep, she really loves it and £20 for an hour of lessons once a week is cheaper than my main hobby by some margin.

    PS: Sh1tty have just dropped the ball at home to Burnley :)

    35 mile Mtb ride, Then as the jet washer was out, and she was nagging, roded all our drains ( unfortunately not a euphemism ) .

    Then sat back to watch the joy which is the Gooners defending ( its Pina's thread so I ll say no more)

    Great day today, started with a decent 15 mile off road run with a pal, then a nice family walk and then took the kids to play football and rugby - whilst the wife prepares for tonight's dinner party

    As we are on time we have just been for a couple of pints and now are waiting for the guests - it could be messy

    Evening all,
    It has to be said that I love dogs, but as Piña said some dog walkers leave a lot to be desired. Not a bad day, lounging, fixed the leaking khazi, started building the new MTB at last and had a lovely dinner with my mob. Topped off with no work tomorrow, or for the rest of the week.
