Bit late going out this morning
Been waiting for the mist to clear

Good morning. Time for a quiet cuppa before Beautiful Daughter explodes out of bed...

No ride this morning, going for a run instead as short on time. Got a wedding to go to (not mine, I don’t think my wife would approve…).

Good morning. Time for a quiet cuppa before Beautiful Daughter explodes out of bed...

She has now exploded. We are making toast and will shortly be watching the cycle touring video of her choice.

My mobile phone needs charging before I go out for a ride.

Well, that didn't *quite* go to plan...

After negotiating a particularly nasty dip-and-bump, my saddle clamp suddenly developed a mind of its own in the nose-up-and-down department. Since I'm unlikely to find a pair of 13mm spanners in the middle of Fodder Fen, I had no choice but to keep going. It gradually got worse, to the point I had to finish the last four miles of my ride with one hand on the nose of the saddle to keep the thing level-ish.

My poor lady bits are rather thoroughly mashed. Although oddly, my bum doesn't hurt.

Also, one of my grips came loose, but that was a minor irritation in the scheme of things.

Still, twelve miles on a bike (Max the MTB) in the lovely sunshine. There's a lot of things worse than that. I now have a and two chocolate chip biskits.

It is a right pain when they do that !

Morning.
Nice and sunny here.
Our lodger seems to have been in in the night and eaten his biscuits. He didn't come in when I whistled this morning so I don't know if he has eaten the bit of food that I put down for him .

Apparently today is the start of National Bike Week and also Evans' centenary, and if I cycle over Blackfriar's Bridge today I'm entitled to a free coffee and a birthday cupcake. First though, the sun needs to win its tussle with a fairly thick blanket of cloud.

 

[Illaveago]

Ooh! It looks like there is a bank of misty cloud moving up from the South to spoil my sunny day !

Thank you for reminding me, my tablet needs charging.

Thank you for reminding me . My other tablet needs taking !

We've now watched 20 minutes of cycle touring video, and Tinybug wants to explore the world by bike, starting with the playground in the next town.

There's a blue tit snacking on the fat balls and the green finch's are flitting around the sunflower hearts.

Tea is being drinked. 🍵

 

[Illaveago]

I might crawl underneath my wife's car this morning and apply some heat to the track rod end so that I can remove it . I've separated the ball end bit, it's the bit going to the steering rack which is tight .
I'm feeling a bit tired and weak after yesterday's ride . Too much excitement from the past couple of cycle rides I suppose .

 

[biggs682]

Grey and overcast here but at least the mist has gone .
Nice gentle 25 miles earlier.
Looks like there is a Supercar show at Sywell aerodrome .
First cuppa drank
