Today 'revenge' was inflicted on the local cycling club

About 5 years ago I went on a ride with their 'crazy group', where they played a game of "smash le rosbif". And I, along with a number of other UK riders since, had our legs well and truly ripped off in a good-natured manner.

Son no. 2 went out with the 'crazy group' today and simply worked on the front with whoever they had alongside, was first up every hill and sprint. In the end they were going "ralentir" and invited him back whenever he wants. That he's actually Irish is irrelevant.

I think our two weeks' holiday out here is done . We head back to the UK tomorrow/Tuesday, with a Sheffield hillclimb on Wednesday, A-level results Thursday and the Junior Tour of the Mendips Friday-Sunday. We'll see if 800+km of post-Covid training is enough.

You'll be back just in time for the heavy rain and flooding.

In the past twelve months I have broken my ankle, a Shimano dynohub (knackered bearing cup), a Peugeot 205 (cracked front strut mounting), busted a tyre on the Brompton, a Skoda Fabia ( fault still to be determined) and now broken a bike frame.

They'll be days like this

Let's just say that I got the idea that he was to be kept as a functional object and not used as a display item on the mantlepiece...

She should be a bit clearer in her instructions.

I watched Van der Valk. I was intending catching up on Marriage. Not very good then? I usually enjoy anything Nicola Walker is in.

We didn't think so , but we are all different

Do you want to know who did "it"?

Jeez, it is incredibly humid. Think it will be a waste of time going to bed. No way I can sleep when it’s like this. Wish the thunder would hurry up and arrive and clear the air.

You mean you missed it earlier this evening!

It's currently 6°C warmer now than it was four hours ago.
Here at least.

No!

 

[classic33]

No!

In that case, stop watching now!

Oh yes very drôle.

Oh yes very drôle.

Well I'm watching Inside The Factory, so don't expect me to know who did it?
