'Ning all.
*accepts tea with gratitude*
Bit achey this morning. I think I went for it a bit too much in the spinning class last night. Still, nothing a cup of Earl Grey won't sort out.

Just sneakily looking on the Astrium site for the interview this afternoon. There's now a new extension to the international space station - they docked it the other day...

I see they're looking into space tourism - you'd better keep that quiet from the climate change threads!
Good luck for the interview BTW!

Cheers matey
Their space tourism vehicle looks no end like a small business jet with a rocket at the rear end. Still, I gave up worrying what the climate change bods said about space travel when they pointed out the mass of fumes from the main engines of the Shuttle, and how this was really really bad.
That's fumes of hydrogen burnt in oxygen, mostly. Or steam.

Good luck Doctor!
I have looked at the Virgin/Spaceship Two website and it all looks dead splendid, although for some reason I am convinced the prototype's fuel was made from car tyres? Yuk!
Off to catch train to Sheffield and then ride the 20 mile to see Mrs. tdr1nka in Bakewell! looks like I have perfect weather for it!
Will require tea later!

Any tips for the A621 Landslide? I've not ridden this route before, is traffic used to cyclists on this road?
Cheers!

Not sure, I usually go out on the A625. In general motorists seem to be used to cyclists in the Peaks.

The A625 looks more winding and fun and I can then take the Hassop Rd. all the way to Bakewell. I'll see how the mood takes me when I get to Sheffield.
Thanks,

Uphill all the way out of the city up until the A6187 splits off it, but then you get to scoot down Froggat Edge (I think it's round about 3 miles of downhill).

That sounds great I've got loaded panniers so I'll fly downhill!
I'll let you know how I get on!
TTFN, train @ 13:27!

I am now on the train, God bless WiFi, and being offered constant cups of tea! This First Class is a bit of a lark. Just passing Luton and escaping the gravitaional pull of the South East!
Ooh! More tea!
