    Morning folks,
    I found a bicycle in the garage yesterday and gave it some love and attention, managed to wobble in to work on it this morning. Bit gloomy when I left this morning after this clock changing malarkey yesterday. I've done some work and I reckon it's over rated. Out visiting customers again tomorrow to abuse them face to face rather than over the phone. This means driving home tonight so I don't have to come in here before setting off.
    Pesky customers on the phone interrupting when I'm writing sh!t on here, lost my train of thought now. Actually, there was no thought so I didn't really. Second cup of tea now drunk, coffee machine on.

    Morning,

    No one else in the office today so I'm up for a relaxing day after a tough weekend of drinking in the sun...

    Managed to get hold of a lidl bike stand yesterday, need to get a few bits done before I can take advantage of the lighter evenings properly so I might head off early

    Also, the GF's dad has an old steel framed Raleigh that he doesn't want anymore, it's fairly light, 105 drivetrain, downtube shifters. Might commandeer it but I can't see why I would ever ride it

    Howdy folks

    Stunning morning here, nice ride in and bizarrely enough my Giros didn't fall off my wheels. Phew - close escape there.

    Apart from that, intend to do less than nothing today - currently watching YouTube vids. Busy busy busy here.

    May also order be c/x frameset.

    Ciao for now.

    Morning, not sure what radiation SG's hoping for, wont be solar with this mist an cloud.

    Cold this morning much to my disliking as I neglected to bring a jacket so had to rely on my winter mass to keep me warm. Walked in this morning. This clock change malarkey is a pain when you use the one clock you didn't change to work out when you should get up.

    Still coffee is made an no one died so cant be all that bad yet.

    Yay, got the green light this morning for my mahoosive internal financial re-engineering project which will save us millions a year (not in the UK in case anyone of left wing persuasion is reading). Coincidentally it's my annual appraisal with the CFO this afternoon :D

    In other news I took the mudguards off the communter this morning and put in a 2017 record ride time into the office. Life doesn't get much more exciting than this...

    Thank you everyone for paying for this.

    So go on Stevo, who or what do you actually work for?

    Everyone has to pay the bills somehow :)

    I was also really good mates with a hooker when I lived in Vietnam - really lovely girl. Went to her kid's christening and all that jazz. She used to fetch me my lunch and if she was longer than 10 minutes I refused to accept it as I knew her hands would have been soiled with someone's jizz.

    I also used to write her emails, which is a separate story in itself.....

    As an aside, I thought I would just let everyone know that it's another day that I have ridden my bi-cycle with taped on Giros and I haven't died or got the ebolaids. And I wasn't even triathlonning, but I did go bombing down bendy hills at a rapid rate of speed.

    Phew! I know I'm taking my life in my hands every day but boy, the thrill is worth it!

    Well you see, in the olden days before discs, carbon fibre and lycra was invented, they used to restrict the riders in the TdF to 10mph downhill 'cos it was so dangerous and every year hundreds of riders still died despite the speed restriction.

    I understand that the roads were littered with the carcasses of riders who dared to tape tyres on. Literally littered.

    I feel honoured to have survived.
