I've found the wallet that Mr K said that he'd left on the window sill when he got the cash out to pay for the chinese takeaway 2 weeks ago. It was on the floor in the cupboard under the stairs near where he hangs his coat.

The best bit about yesterday's pub ride was that there were as many women went as men, that must mean we are getting it right.

There are many other interpretations of the evidence M'lud....

I hate to be serious, but this is what we found with Freewheeling, which shows that there is a huuuge and ready market for inclusive social rides at sensible* paces.

* I went on our local club's Monday Social ride the other week. Social in this case meant a quick pint and free chips half way round. The ride had me holding on at the back for dear life covering 24 miles at 16mph average! I could barely breathe let alone talk....

Yes, cool cloudy and damp in Coventry this morning, my bike ride has been put back to this afternoon when it should brighten up a bit.

My old club, The Coventry Road club, has resurrected their easy ride again, aimed for speed 13-15mph, the ride was going well a while a go but petered out. There appears to be a need for these sorts of rides but support can be patchy.

It's getting the ride leaders for those rides that is the issue, so Chapeau to @The Velvet Curtain

I assumed his ride leader stuff was made up like most of his other posts in here?

Do they need to do some sort of course now before they can lead a ride? Years ago it was just a case that someone took charge, or several took charge.

We have to humour him until his nurse arrives with his medication....

No. None of us leading rides in Freewheelng had any training whatsoever.

[QUOTE 4943115, member: 21629"]Went to see GP because of that ingrown toenail. Left home at 8.30 and came back at 9. That's include 20 minutes cycling to surgery and back home.

- How can I help you?
- I've got ingrown toenail. It bleeds, toe is swollen, pus comes out non stop and it stinks.
GP takes a look without touching a toe
- Mhmmm, I see there's an infection here ... But you don't want operation to be done coz it will be very painful ...
- Yeah but ...
- ... so get your foot into some hot water and cut your nail in proper way when it will grow up. All done!

Waste of my time it was.

Sounds similar to my doctors visit last year about the back and hip pain I get. Doctor asked me what was the reason for my visit and I told him my symptoms, he said wear and tear take pain killers there's nothing we can do about it and didn't even examine me. I was in and out in about three minutes flat.

I told the doctor I had a pain in my hip. She pulled my leg one way then the other and said I had greater trochanteric pain syndrome. What does that mean, I asked. That you've got a pain in your hip, she said.
