Just caught me ... I have near enough finished the Metro cryptic crossword, sprinted through the quick crossword until I got bored, played one game each of Spider Solitaire, Sudoku, and Backgammon, read a couple of online articles, and finally decided that nothing exciting is going to happen today, so I might as well go to sleep!

@Brandane, unless you play golf, it seems to be all on the Southbound side. Gas leak North of of Carlisle being the exception on the M6

The countryside isn't as safe at night as you might think. Boy racers out for the night/morning!

And how often would you meet them on the wrong side of the road, doing well over the speed limit?

It was the Cyclechat/YACF Carlisle to Newcastle ride that got me over the (mostly justified) fear of cycling at night. I now greatly enjoy it under some circumstances.

I wonder if anyone in the Carse was ever rudely awakened by my terrible singing at the top of my voice while riding along the lanes at 4am
"Mavis... can you hear someone singing Toto - Africa?"

Sat here in bed listening to The Orb.

Life in the fast lane, eh?

Well this week was hot up in the high 20s whilst I was in Oxfordshire. Only managed one cycle and it was bloody hot. This coming week looks good down here on the beach once the wind has died down in the early part.

@RoubaixCube why aren't you on the FNTTC if you fancy a night ride or of course move out of London and commute.

That's me seen Lancaster city centre by night, in both directions! Was much quieter at 3am than midnight.
Now over the border having saluted the flag, and taking second break at Gretna as not enough time to reach Glasgow. Got about 2 hours left after this break, so should be ok..

Quite like this night trunking as a wee change, but cannot sleep during the day so permanent nights is not an option. Especially when they are 12 to 15 hour nights!
Don't know how you function on so little sleep, @classic33 .

Just got up and enjoying a glass of milk. My sleep patterns are still trying to catch up with GMT.

 

[summerdays]

It's now morning for me! I was woken by the wind rattling around, and then 5 mins later a mini power cut that triggered the UPS that cuts in on the computers making its noises and other things like the radio beeping..

Well, had a goodnight sleep and now thinking about getting up at 8.43. Very windy outside so might stay in bed a bit longer and see what others have to say on cc.
