Plans for the Weekend

[Chris James]

After work today I am popping down the pub at the end of our road en famille to see what the new owners Ossett Brewery have done with the place. Very excited as they have a good rep for beer, both quality and range, and hopeful it will be a big success.

Saturday afternoon another kid's party (Douglas' party was two weeks ago and now all his pals are turning two) - it is themed so I need to turn up as a pirate.

The good thing is that it turns out that the dad of one of Douglas' mates is also a frustrated roadie so am hoping to get out on a ride with him at some point.

Then visiting friends for Sunday lunch.

I'm doing my first 50 the following weekend so I hope to do a dry run this weekend to check I'll be comfortable enough on my TT bike and to try out drinking/ eating options. Otherwise lazing around, watching the tour.

 

[Aperitif]

I do hope you're meaning red wine there pal, otherwise you'll wave to check with the missus.

I thought you would 'take it as red' dan_bottle

 

[Dayvo]

Working (again) early Sat and Sun mornings. Was hoping to go for a 3-4 hour ride on Sat pm, but heavy rain is forecast!

Oh well, TdeF will do; I'll do a virtual sweat!

 

[Rab]

Southern Upland Sportive on Sunday - yikes - hills

 

[fossyant]

Plenty of Red Wine 'ere - not dan_bo's - think he'd batter me.....

 

[monnet]

Bits and bobs and lazing about tomorrow, might go out for a couple of hours on the bike weather depending. Usual Sunday morning ride.

I'll make sure I knock back my quota of red wine too. I was told today, by a cyclist, that red wine is a typical cyclists drink. Wasn't really sure what to make of that. Thoughts?

I've got my best friend's Stag Do tomorrow in Brighton and a preview screening of the new Pixar film 'Wall-e' on Sunday morning!

Filling in job applications and watching TdF live tomorrow, then a 50 miler round the wyre on Sunday (provided the weather is not completely sh*te), half of it guide by some guys from Garstang Cycling Club...sounds fun...

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Er ... practising with the band tomorrow morning, then off to a 21st birthday in someone's field at which we (and a host of other bands) are playing. I plan to be recovering from a hangover on Sunday, but I might get out for a brief ride if the weather's good.

Are you going to use the new amp?

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Are you going to use the new amp?

Oh yes. I used it last weekend at Hereford beer festival. It's fantastic, just what I've been looking for all these years.
Anyone want to buy a 100 watt Marshall stack?

 

[Noodley]

No cycling. Which I'm okay with as I have adopted a new "relaxed" approach

Mrs Noodley is working (at T in the Park festival of "shite and weird and I can't understand the words" music) so I'll be doing something with the Noodley Jnrs. Possibly going to Perth horse races on Sunday...

 

[Rhythm Thief]

there's never a tune you can whistle nowadays, is there Noodley?
