Plans for the weekend?

[John the Monkey]

No plans... I downloaded the first season of Battlestar Galactica (the new one) so might have to watch a few episodes, out on the bike at some point, and having a few Tiger Beers tonight...yum....

Oo, are you in for a treat - one of my favourite recent serials (well, that and Heroes). It's a good idea (but not essential) to watch the mini-series first if you can, as it gives some good background to the series proper. (Give me a shout if you're in the City centre in the coming weeks, happy to lend you the DVD).

As for my own plans - the dog is overdue a couple of long walks, and the bike desperately needs a wash after a rather wet and grimy week of commuting. If we get a good Sunday, may try and do a 20 miler or so...

I'm entered in the Evan's Brighton "Ride it" (long road route) on Sunday. Should be around 110 miles by the time I've cycled to the start and back
I've been looking forward to it but have developed quite a painful knee towards the end of this week (today in particular). I've discovered my saddle was a bit lower than I thought and have now raised it. I'm hoping that this was the cause and that it will have settled down in time. Otherwise I might have to swallow my pride and pull out (I learned the hard way last time not to attempt to ride through injurys)

Oh the banter!!!

I'm also going to try and get my new Wilier out on Sunday (weather permitting)

Where's Fnaar when you need him?

Going to Ashby de la Zouch to pick up Ms RT's new Super Galaxy from someone off ebay. Then probably a trip out tomorrow to see how she gets on with it.

Not sure if I'm fit enough yet, but I'll soon find out

I did soon find out But 105km all the same - only 195km less than what I wanted

That's a pretty good effort, Noodley!
Get thinner tyres/wheels; less work, more speed and more distance!

Went to the LBS yesterday to sort out some forks for the summer bike. Went for some Kinesis Tracer ones in the end as the prospect of getting the Easton ones (my first choice) any time soon seems remote.

Was out early this morning for 40 miles on the bike. A ggod ride bt it was flipping cold again. This afternoon we took the kids to the park. Just made it back in time to see the last 10 kms of Paris-Roubaix.

I went for a walk in the woods with Mr Surf and some friends who were scouting for locations for a film. I had the bike in the car so at the second location I went for a pootle on some tracks and up and down a couple of hills. On the way home at the top of Cheddar Gorge I made Mr Surf stop the car to let me and the bike out.
I think I need to replace my brakes now!

Hell of the North Cotswolds. Excellent but I hurt now.
