Tea? (Part 2)

[wafflycat]

Is it too late to request some dark choc suggestives?

It is never too late!

 

[TheDoctor]

It's always a good time for suggestives

 

[Arch]

He'll be wanting you to ride down to see him. It can't be hard because it's downhill all the way

Actually, I realised soon after I decided to do the next London-Edinburgh-London, that riding to my sister's would be an ideal training run. Yikes! Last time I rode there, I took a week. I really need to be able to ride there in a day, and ride back the next!

Tea anyone? Any suggestives left?

Crikey Arch - LEL?

You will have to train for that

And no Bikkies

Oh, did you not know...?

Yeah, that damn book by Arallsop, so inspiring....

I am training. I'm increasing my commute miles (70 last week, compared to a bare minimum of 18), and generally trying to get faster and fitter.

But I think bikkies are ok, in moderation. Need some calories!

Tea?

Evenings!!
It's a bit warm and humid around DoctorTowers this evening.
I too read the LEL account, but managed to withstand the temptation to give it a bash myself.
Mind you, it's been a couple of years since I did Ventoux, and thoughts begin to turn to the notion of A Big Ride.
Let's see - Mountains. Been there done that. Alps, Ventoux and a bit in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Plus getting my arse comprehensively kicked in North Wales.
Century - done that too.
Overnight ride - well, I sort-of liked the FNRttC, but I was ruddy shattered afterwards. I don't feel inspired to do another.
It might have to be a C2C. Or circumnavigating the Isle of Dogs Wight. Or something.
Any ideas?

Doc - I thought C2C in one direction followed by the Hadrians Cycleway (or whatever it's called) in the opposite direction would make a nice tour and possibly make for easier logistics that starting one side and finishing on the other.

The prospect of doing LEL makes me shudder. You're a brave woman Arch.

 

[TheDoctor]

Hmmmm. That's certainly a possibility, although getting a train to one end and back from t'other isn't so very big a deal.
Obviously doing a C2C in the UK is a much smaller undertaking than a Canadian one!!

Nah, naive, I think...

Anyway, it's 3 years away. It's currently in the same <meh, later> file in my brain as pensions.

Whereas heading off to Canada, all alone? That's brave. Somehow, I find that a bigger undertaking than doing the same thing in Europe - despite the fact that in Europe I'd be ignorant in most languages.

Tea?

 

[wafflycat]

One for Arch..

Ningles!!

It's a bit blowy here today. Part of my route to work involves a climb into the wind, which wasn't so much fun.
Getting home should be better though!
*whizz*

 

[Arch]

Not too bad here. Breezy. Got to go out and get lunch, I'd run out of bread this morning....

I like the teeshirt Waffles!

 

[Arch]

Quiet in here today?

Just had a nice poor man's kegeree, and now I'm going to have a last piece of the cake Mum brought up, with some creme fraiche.

And a cuppa. Tea anyone?

 

[wafflycat]

Hurrah! Another three pounds of flab shed.

 

[TheDoctor]

Well done Waff!! I only hope you don't vanish entirely...

I've been reticent about posting at work lately, just in case the IT gibbons (or anyone else) are watching.
