Hope the antibiotics soon start to work Nigel and you begin to feel more comfortable and mobile around the house

Got no choice on that one, the o.h. didn't once come to see if I was ok last night.

Another day in paradise for me. It poured down with rain yet again last night, and it's still raining now, very heavily. No going out today. On the other hand the weather is suppose to be clearing. Yeah right.

It takes along time, a little like how long it takes to get it.
I have been looking at some times from some segments from this year, and comparing with those I follow I am not too badly placed really

@simmi I did this today http://app.strava.com/segments/3628011 and was 1's behind your time yesterday though you had done twice the distance I had.

Nice one Nigel it's a while back now but from what I remember I wasn't hanging about!
I have been working hard on climbing as I was rubbish, then considered my self ok and now would think I could even start to call myself a good climber. Getting my weight down by another stone to 12st 4lb I think has made a huge difference. This segment from yesterdays ride even surprised me http://app.strava.com/segments/3476479?filter=overall 37 out of 433 on a decent hill.

Got to agree on the weight. I seem to have got stuck with an extra ten pounds to what I was carrying in the middle of last summer and the hills are when I really feel it. Damn sweet tooth! Lol

I was lucky this morning....that little clear area just to the left of Perth was me. Rain is due shortly right enough for my dog walk.

all that stuff over Wales is what I have to look forward to...
all that stuff over Scotland is what I have already had!

Mind you a 3rd day off in a row should do wonders for my endurance/speed tomorrow and hopefully leave the house a touch cleaner if I can be bothered/any other words to get the cleaner out this afternoon!

Although dreich yet again, very little wind, so took advantage and had probably my best ever return leg on my long flatty to Fenwick route. 10 PRs on return leg alone, chuffed.

@Supersuperleeds @Goonerobes @SatNavSaysStraightOn @welsh dragon, thanks guys, I wont be on much the next few days can hardly sit in the chair, the docs said if I ride too soon I may be landing on a single wheel in future with further time off for the op.

Sorry to hear that you are unwell Nigel. Hope you have a speedy recovery. All the best.

Well I applied Rule 5 and when it stopped raining and despite the wind and wet roads I went out and did 13.9 miles which makes it 1000.42 miles so far this year.

Got some miles in doing the rounds 6 in the morning, took the mtb to the LBS to get serviced.

N+1 rule is wanting to kick in, saw a real nice custom bike, and a nice trek.. For my zelos as a trade in i've been offered £210, and £75 for my mtb...

What shall i do?
