    Yeah Friday. In offices far away which isn’t great, but there will still be time for the pub

    Morning, I'm off down to the Cotswolds at lunch time but I've just realised I've left my running watch at home so I'll have to head off from here at 11 to go home and pick it up, I might even have to take the dog for a quick scamper about in the woods.

    Weekend shall be spent drinking with a mate from back home followed by London on Sunday for a work thing on Monday/Tuesday. I accidentally mentioned to the weird guy in the office that I was going to be in London for 1ish so he's planning some museum trips for us. I might turn my phone off and get pissed on my own somewhere. I'm looking for a specific piece of male jewelry (wrist based rather than nipplepiercings this time) so I could have a hunt about

    Who was it who said 'Infamy, infamy, they've all got in infamy'?...Happy B-Day folks (and I don't mean that French thing you use to wash your ar$e).

    Quiet-ish day in the office, unfortunately Friday night drinks will be curtailed by Dads taxi duties. Ho hum.

    If you want a decent dose of 'watch p0rn' then mosey down New Bond Street or try Selfridges watch room which is the biggest single one.

    Question..

    What do you think the odd are of me being able to squeeze 47c tyres under mudguards rated for 42c max. Note the tyres are 650b not 700c so i get a smidge more wiggle room I think

    Said mudguards

  • After all the hyperbole of the last few years I can see today ending in a very wet, flat fart.

    On the flip side, I'm off to Kitzbuhel tomorrow :)

    Guess it depends on the tyre profile rather than just width - if the tyres inflate quite tall they might still hit the mudguards.
    Just try it :)

    Took the day off work today because I couldn't be bothered with 5 days of bull this week.

    Got dropped off at work (not my work) then ran back the scenic route. Heavens opened just as I was getting home so got a free pre wash.

    Trying not to fall asleep on the sofa now, shiny bike bits need fitting.

    True I hadn't thought on that, Pretty sure height wise they are shorter. Need to stand one beside the other an measure from the axle.
    Its not the end of the world I have some 700X33's that'll snug under happily. Just the 650's are so so comfortable.

    My 25mm Michelin Pro 4's sat far bigger on the rim than my 27mm Victoria's.

    Me drive, shop, drive, sticks, coffee and sweet potato soup me. Then washed the car.

    Happy day.
