It's starting to get sunny...

Too many people riding badly set up bikes. Grinding gears, saddles too low and getting in my way. Pff

No rain yesterday, overcast today but damn warm and humid.

My ride will have to wait until this afternoon if i manage one. Dishwasher repair man due at some point this morning then i need to see my Dad as it was his birthday in the week.

Just steam cleaned the kitchen floor, first load of washing is on so time coffee and a quick peek at the papers.

I'm glad my life is as rock and roll as everyone elses.

The cat has just mooched in after tripping the light fantastic for most of the night.

Something wrong when your pet has a more exciting life than you do

It rained here from Thursday evening until yesterday evening! Daughter came back from her adventure in Nicaragua, so lots of washing. The indoor rack is full, so hoping to get the rest outside today. I've booked onto another sky ride tomorrow so I might just have a little pootle today and clean the chain.

Stuff the washing. All I can do is throw it downstairs. Then it is on the floor and I can't pick it up. so it may as well stay in the washing basket and I go for a bike anyway.
My OH is trying his first 100 miler today whilst supporting the lady I have been 'training' for a charity 88 mile bike ride to Snowdon. They are finishing at the top of Pen-y-pass having, so his final 5-6 miles are nice and easy - turn around and freewheel back to Betws-y-coed! I'm still deciding what to do... a bike ride would be a really nice idea but then I also have to drive (pretty much for the first time in 11 months) to the end to collect him and I know that is going to a) hurt and b) exhaust me so I am not really sure on what to do right now. I want to go for a bike ride but...ahhhhh and it is such a nice morning as well.

Good luck to you both!

Yes good luck to your protege and husband @SatNavSaysStraightOn. I hope all goes to plan and they have a good ride.

It's proper sunny now. Just stopped to take off the arm warmers and gilet. Onwards I go....

Just realised that I have only even met the lady I have helped for this charity ride when she is wearing Lycra. There could be something wrong with life when you only know someone in Lycra and not their everyday clothes!

Lucky you Al that looks like it going to be a lovely day there.

Just had a call from my riding buddy so I am stopping for cake and waiting for him to meet me. Going to try a new route around Bristol... He likes to get away from usual roads so it should be interesting. He has already asked are you on the carbon or steel as he thinks flat shoes are needed? Why I don't know.

Flat shoes are easier to walk in after "refreshments"

Where is your new route going to take you? Around the outskirts or through the middle?

Around the outside I believe.

Time for a strong coffee and a bun whilst I wait for him. Also a bit of Bristol colour.
