This week I am on hols and the good lady has gone to visits parents in Manchester and that leaves me with time on my hand (no car..hurrah?) to train as even in my 50's I have this great need for an endorphin rush 
So on Sat I chose the old genesis ridgeback and ride into Bristol searching out all the old vinyl shops (yeah you can see I am in my 50's!!) before doing a tour of surrounding Bristol area and then returning home.....Sunday up early this time choose the Giant Defy and go for a little 30miler all around Bath climbing some big mother****** hills!....Monday up early and this time it's a 10 mile run...quick shower and walk to nearby Kingswood (yeah still on the finding vinyl kick)....return home...get restless and decide to cycle to nearby Kenysham on the ridgeback (primarily because it's old and I don't care if it's nicked!!...well I do care but I love my other bikes more...) On the vinyl search again and in a charity shop disover that well known album " A nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse"....what you say?? a 1971 album by The Faces/Rod Stewart (before Rod became a pin up for the "blue rinse" brigade!) This was the first LP I ever bought and lost, so to find a mint copy with the original poster was a real find...but was it worth the £20 asking price...I cycled home again...fired up ebay and discovered that a mint copy with the original poster was worth £30...so cycled back to shop and bought record...cycled home...collapsed and played record. Yesterday Tuesday I thought I would take it easy and went out for a cycle on my Kinesis tk2......40 miles later returning home I felt worn out...am I expecting too much from my ageing body???....Today I have decided to take it easy...but tomorrow normal service resumes and I think an early morning run is in order.....maybe a bike ride...or a brisk walk....I wish the wife would come back as I am kn***ered
