Soggy is a comin'.
...and I could say 'comin' for to carry me home' if I had a boat ready.
I hope the soggy doesn't arrive before log delivery.
That wouldn't be fun.
I'll tune into the last 5 mins of P-N and watch most of T-A.

Groan. I went to Twickenham yesterday to witness England get hammered. I then also got hammered. I'm too old for that. Groan.

Ride binned off, wind up, the grey is here and the rain is, as prev said above, a-comin' soon. Forecast says will rain for 24 hours +. Erse. In like a lion, out like a lamb please March.
Best get the outside fettles done avant le deluge. So get off t'interweb and get on with it. Oh, ok boss.0 -

Got rain on the way later plus a fair bit of wind which might bu€€er up my ride to work plans tomorrow. Chilling now, got garden stuff to do later while it's still decent out there."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Morning folks,
Slowish start is being enjoyed. Got to do some pottering before the old dear's birthday meal.
That wasn't a good game to be at Twickenham for B³, a friend was at the game in Rome which wasn't any better from our point of view.

Rugby is a funny thing.
Arguably the Kiwi's are the best and they only have a population of 4.5m(?).
Then the Aussies (population 17m(?)).
And a small nation of only 5.5M beat Engerland which has a population of 56m.
It seems like if England want to play better rugby, then they need to de-populate fast.
I think people should be encouraged to get in rubber dinghies and head for Africa after crossing the channel.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
It's a religion in NZ and seems to be pretty much the only sport they play apart from a bit of cricket. When I was down there a while back my mate who emigrated there was explaining this and showed me by turning on the TV and they were showing school rugby matches.pinno said:Rugby is a funny thing.

Morning. I went for a bike ride!!!!! Just under 40km. Not dead. Result 😃
Bit of work to do later but otherwise no plans other than a dog walk this afternoon. Happy days.1 -

I did put a question mark at 17m WS and it was only an attempt at humour.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Pancakes and maple glazed bacon for brekkie. One kids football off due to waterlogged pitch, the other still recovering from gastroenteritis. Park instead for footie and basketball. Preparing to baton down the hatches before the 50+ mph winds over the next 3 days.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0

It was actually 39.9km but there’s a good chance that includes a bit of a wahoo glitch. Still claiming it though. Definitely more than a coupleorraloon said:

Afternoon.
Sat watching the cycling have been for first ride since the op. A measly 32.13 miles ridden at a sedate pace with coffee stops at 15 and 24 miles.
The first 15 was in to a block head wind which had me questioning whether cycling was always this hard. Hip was fine, lungs and other parts not so great.
Tomorrow might be sore a£se day.4 -
What were the chances 😂webboo said:Afternoon.

Managed to beat the rain. Was feeling pretty pleased with my 112km at an avg of 28kmh into a head wind until I noticed a couple of local elite/pro guys who had done 200km at 35kmh avg 😳0

112km in to head wind. One way ride?0
-
To be fair, it was an out and back loop. I would say about 60% of the ride was a head wind. The rest was cross and a bit of a tail wind.
I am claiming that as mainly headwind though 😂2 -
