friday ponders on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
awaiting sunrise over the volcano, only downside of the subtropics is the shorter days, but uv index will be extreme according to met office
assemble shiny bike, traditional test ride for a café solo, smiley dinosaur shopping, bask

Enjoy SG
Work stuff with the hopefully amazing cricket and TDF on.
Quick run and then the pub, basically a repeat of yesterday0 -
Moaning,
Grey/blue ish… showers later it says
Last day of WFW for this week, been a long week for me, hoping for an easy day (poets day)
SG: jealous I am, enjoy
Agreed TLW1 hoping for great cricket and something unexpected in the TdF
Latest symptom, I’ve lost my voice!

Sun has risen now, stiffish cool northeasterly to take the edge off that extreme UV, and I expect give you a tailwind home.sungod said:'ning

Preparing for breakfast, and another day of getting over the plague. Light cough persists, as does lack of appetite for food and booze. I've also been dropping off in the afternoon, and sparko at 9.0 -
I would say race for third, 3-6 place is < 2 mins, but only tomorrow is selective, and I think UAE will pull for Yates A in 3rd, though Ineos might have something up their sleeve.seanoconn said:

Morning
Today will be attempting to fix the bathroom shower to stop it being a kitchen shower as well. First will be trying to have a bath as yesterdays effort ended up with cramp in my abs. Due to it being drier here this morning only a token show of 60 slugs rather than yesterdays 300.0 -

No, I think it has been a fantastic tour. Seeing the small breakaway yesterday succeed was A1.

Enjoy sunny hols all those on them.
Got the day off so just got up: now contemplating where to ride as it looks quite nice out. I may look at this tdf thing later to see what all the fuss is about. Otherwise rest of the day is unplanned apart from a tip trip."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Have some of my pre holiday photo inspiration!

Apologies for the tilt. I can never remember which orientation the forum likes, I'm guessing landscape.
Anyway, work and a quick site visit to a local job, followed by work, G&T and the hot tub before it gets drained.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -

If he goes in at the deep end at 12pm, full Carlton bollox, we’ll have lost him to mtb again by 12.05. Stick with the highlight for now Stevo until you get the feel of it.pinno said:

Afternoon folks,
Very glad it's Friday. Ususal nonsense on the work front, but as I'm WFH there's a bit less in the way of stupid questions. Managed to think about some other things as well as a result, so pestered TLW with a silly question. Didn't want to disturb the slacker when he was cruising. I think it must be time for coffee.
I need a holiday, hope those that are enjoy them.0 -

I need a holiday too, so booked one for next week - when I say I, the current wife sorted it. Hence we aren’t going to the alps 🤬

Not sure that watching 5 minutes of tdf gets me my roadie gold star. Honestly never got the fascination with watching a bunch of blokes pedalling round France in a big group at high speed for hours on end every day for a fortnight.pinno said:

Was out doing the real thing at 12pm - found a real bastard little climb up the North Downs Ridge. Was nearly popping wheelies in my silly low bottom gearseanoconn said:

Sunny spells and pleasant out, ride rided, headwind section of course...
(Jings a military jet just flew over the house fast and low. Close. 😳)
...but all good. Bit of hills, bit of flat, La Malouine tall ship is back in port, aka muddy hole in the river estuary bank.
Refuel, refresh, do a bit of garden fettling. And chill.
The town's Civic Fest week starts tomorrow, when the forecast is of course 50% chance of rain all day.0 -
