Shoot sleep - tight legs after last nights run had me worried as it's less than 3 weeks till the race
Bright side jacket potato for lunch for the 2nd day in a row0 -
Morning, miserable start to the day overcast , slight drizzle with rain forecast for the majority of the day, I need to pop into the metropolis ( that is known locally as Lincoln),
Have a good day
Not very scorchio here0 -
Don't get too mimsy0

No bike ... ran instead ... wasn't too bad, it was dark, I had a torch and there was lots of roots, rocks and black things to jump over. Bit like training for the zombie apocalypse0

Not due in court till 10 but awake so doing a spot of real work to keep up with stuff. Bad news is they don't break for lunch till 1 so the judge will be listening to my guts rumbling later on."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Slept in til 7 today, it was nice but I feel more tired now than I did yesterday after a 5:50 start and a 5k PB, no idea how. Weirdly sunny in south Scotland this morning, I expect it will cloud over and rain any second, bloody place. Went out on the bike last night, only for an hour but I'm starting to think I need some 50s to go with the 38s, more wooshing and less pedalling until I die...0

Decided not to cycle in this morning. It wasn't raining but I chose to believe the forecast that it was actually raining and managed to arrive to work bone dry despite the pouring rain.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0

It's for charity - so pressure there0 -
Raining and windy, so going to drink some coffee, do some weights and see if I can sell a couple of bicycles.
Have just smashed head against wall with photohosting - going to have to retake pictures against bland backdrop when sun is shining.
Bit meh really ................................Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Morning all. Drizzly here, hoodies and jackets for the TTs and lights for me. It's still bloody August... More teaching people with me having no idea what they're supposed to be learning, followed by being paid to cycle across town and read some stuff to people. Then more TT shepherding and maybe some photo sorting. Not quite living up to SG's enthusiastic title.0

He chortled in his joy. Marvellous, makes a change from the physics & sci-fi.
How much annual leave do you get SG? Or are you sufficiently high-up in GMC that annual leave is just a concept, rather than something to adhere to. You've definitely spent at least half the year on a sunbed.
Normal gubbins day here. I expect to get soaked later, so clipped the guards on to mitigate that. I bought & drank one of Stevo's favourite ciders last night - is it the Westons Vintage you like? I feel like I've been beaten up. I don't get on well with oak.0 -

Sh1t! What bike? And what bike will you be replacing it with? You probably need discs and clearance for 28s.0 -

That's dull to say the least, but did it go snicker-snack?thistle (MBNW) wrote:However I got a mile down the road and my drive side chainstay snapped
Enjoy the bike shopping at least. Worth getting a frame and swapping bits over?
Rather moist down here, wimped out and drove in because of stuff and rubbish excuses. Mainly it's quicker and I get to give the wife a lift home. Going to pop over to Twickenham and join her for lunch later, then today being Wednesday I will be going to the pub. Until then customer avoidance is in order.0 -
It was a Merida Race Lite, just shy of 12k miles according to Strava so it's had a fair innings.
Maybe I'll just get a cheap frameset for the winter and swap the bits over, or maybe I'll just spend the autumn/winter on the singlespeed.
I've been eyeing up a new bike for a while to be fair, but buying one just before winter to get it trashed by mud/grit/salt doesn't make sense.0 -
A great opportunity to buy a winter bike now, then consider a summer bike during the spring. Genesis gets my vote for steel winter bike0

I'd be quite p!ssed off if my chainstay snapped after 12k miles!0 -

Try the Dunkerton Black Fox or the Chaplin & Cork Vintage. Which reminds I have some in the fridge..."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Still bloody waiting! I'll be in a bad mood by time I get in there...oxoman wrote:Morning All. Glad to see everyone full of the joys of autumn or should I say summer. Steve hang on in there a bit of personal pain might help you focus on sending the guilty scroats to nearest holiday camp sorry meant penal colony. TLW1 feel your pain got half marathon in just over 3 wks and not enough fitness at the moment. Hopefully things will improve so I can beat last year's time.

Probably better than the Original source mint stuff, that makes it tingle quite disconcertingly0 -

Only Pringles or McCoys surely, or any loud crisp for that matter, actually could you try the cream cracker challenge three in one minute?
Mcning, no sign of sun or summer here its cold grey an looks like itll rain any given moment. Someone in the office has come in with conjunctivitis so now the managers have gone on some bizarre cleanliness kick which is great fun.
Some vague form of a plan today other halfs car has started leaking coolant from somewhere so I put a shot of washing up liquid in told her to check for bubbles when she gets to work I cant trust her with anything more she managed to fill the brake fluid last night, so that was fun!
Anyway coffee an onwards0
