hehe that's what I was getting at but the bird reference was something else

Yes, I've recently become a dad, how could I forget??!!

Preferences then - 40 odd or 50 odd miles ride, Spinney Cafe for a stop, Wizard or not - if not Wizard it's Middlewood Higher Poynton (nice lanes round there).

I vote 40 miles and whichever is flattest
Was that you tonight in Gatley mate,mechanical issues? Just got a quick glimpse of a cyclist red jacket pulled into a side road,I was doing about 20mph going the other way so no chance to tell.

Nope - was in car - had to go to a 'conference centre' for a day long meeting - no bike parking (despite it being owned by Manchester Uni)......

Two colleagues chained their bikes to a gutter down pipe..... I was asked, and said why (no secure bike parking)...would have been twice as quick on a bike, had to sit in traffic. At least the car got a run for a change.

Gatley/Cheadle was rammed tonight,had great fun passing all the cars.
Don't blame you on the parking,have got 2 decent locks and still won't leave my good bike anywhere I can't see it.
On a mega fitness/diet now ready for the ride,need to lose about 10lbs before I can even contemplate it

 

[fossyant]

I need to shift a fair few lbs for the Cheshire Cat....ideally..... argh.........

I just need a couple of 50 plus mile hilly rides in...... not the weight, just miles in legs....
