    We need a sacrifice to you. I’d volunteer but I’m busy today. Anyone? Johngti maybe?

    Cool, I’m excited for you. Hidden storage, extra buttons and gadgets, brilliant. Enjoy the party.

    The usual dog walk will be done this morning. Mrs. 666 will then go into tidying frenzy mode as we've got someone viewing the house later in the afternoon.

    Probably didn't help me telling her that she wouldn't have to stress so much if she'd kept the place a bit tidier in the first place o:)

    Dunno. First 70k could potentially be very interesting. Especially if there is wind. Are teams going to make it hell before the inclines?
    I think yesterday's sprint finish I enjoyed more than any other.

    Which MF is getting put down?

    I think Stevo the sorcerer should read Johngti's entrails.
    Lovely job innit.

    Sun here but blowing a gale. If it eases i'll go pedal.
    Will be driving mini (if it has passed MOT), will post pics.

    Morning All. Survived the beer and Northumbrian hills Just. Enjoyed it mostly, odd rider with us who should relearn his riding etiquette. Several near misses. Plenty of P fairies on those daft enough to use GP4,s and Durano,s. Tubeless and gaterskins won the day even on the really rough bits. Dog walked, wet and stinky stuff chucked at OH to deal with. Just need to sort the bike out. Beer and barbeque tonight under cover i suspect. Stevo you should know by now, never ever ever criticise the wife it only ends in bloodshed.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Seems like sound advice to me. Great way to get her to move out too :wink:

    Still wet here am. Bike had just been cleaned, plus the council still haven't cleared all their sh1te off the road so jumped on zwift until I got bored, which was about 30 mins.

    Washing's out, weeds sprayed so I'm pretty sure it will rain again shortly.

    Lots of diy, cleaning and tidying to do here, but it's nice outside now :confused:

    oh no - she's on one of those?

    TDV gets on them and spends all day cutting around tidying, tutting under her breath and saying "no, no, its cool, you stay watching the cycling, I'm just pottering".....

    Anyhow, ride ridded, coffee drunk, dinner bought (fresh crabs that are now in the freezer going to sleep before I boil them alive, decided I wanted to raise shifters on the Prince by 1/2cm so as I took off the brand new Deda bar tape it ripped. FFS.

    Now in the queue for 2nd jab, then home to watch Zoncolan stage on re-watch or whatever it is with some 'scratchings and and a beer

    Ride also rided. 22nd May it is. I go out with 3 layers inc the rain jacket, the long tights and the sealskins, don't like cold feet. Started off cold to cool, sun started to blink out, warmed up, get to thinking I've overdressed. Sun disappears. Grey clouds come back. Last 10km torrential rain. Again. And cold. Again. Blxxdy weather.

    Last 40km of the Zoncolan stage on 👍
