Woops I forgot the chaingang was about to end. I did the summer cup this evening but should probably have done the chaingang. There's a chance it might still be open tomorrow though.

I'll take the dog for a walk first as a warm up.

That was my plan. But at the beach the puppy Kipster rolled in a dead humpy so now after fighting him in the bathtub for the last 20 minutes I'm worn out.

Welcome back Bill, hope you had a good hols!

"Thanks" Boxers & Goldwolfie for the reminder that the chaingang league was ending - I was going to do a nice steady ride but did all the sprint stages back to back instead to complete the league. Ouch

I only think I did a half decent time for the first one and never really recovered properly after that!

 

[theboxers]

@Goldwolfie good time on the last stage and 330 odd watts . Time on your hands is doing you some good .

 

[Whorty]

Show off!

Maybe I should have said 'lap' rather than 'laps'

 

[Whorty]

0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and bang

Damn, I was going to try those watts ..... well, up to 150

 

[Whorty]

On the next chaingang leagues, can we start all stages at the same time,and leave open for a month longer? Or maybe open them one week apart but leave them open for 2 months in total? Only ask as I'm travelling so much with work at the moment that I'm struggling to do all the rides in the time. Can I request a couple of longer stages too, to shake things up a bit? Maybe a couple of flattish 50 km stages?

Challenged Paul T and until the last 3 miles stayed less than 2 minutes behind but then he took off. He ended up Beating me by 4 minutes. Strong finish Paul.

Thanks @theboxers - Yep I'm getting plenty of miles in outdoors at the moment, so really just getting on the turbo for league events.

Making the most of the late summer weather, so I'm off to Skegness on Thursday on the bike returning on Saturday - 100 miles each way. It will be my first century day ride and it will be pretty flat once I get out of Derbyshire.

I can't fault this retirement malarkey,

A humpy or gunyah[1][2] was a small, temporary shelter made from bark and tree branches, traditionally used by Australian Aborigines, with a standing tree usually used as the main support. The word humpy comes from the Jagera language (a Murri people from Coorparoo in Brisbane); other language groups would have different names for the structure.

Or was it perhaps a dead hump back whale?

Jealous of you GW .... not wishing to speed my life up, but it would be great to have more time on my hands. This work malarky sure does get in the way Glad you're enjoying your retirement though - when someone worked hard all their life it's nice to see them enjoying their new found free time

Pink salmon. Edit. Our salmon die after they spawn.
2nd Edit. We have 5 species of salmon and they all have 2 names. King/Chinook Coho/Silver Chum/dog Sockeye/Red and Pink/Humpy.

I get the 'humpy' now, ugly bugger compared with the more elegant and streamlined Scottish Salmon

Living not that far from Skegvegas I would suggest not hanging about there too long.

Enjoy the ride though with good weather should be great.

Just Googled it and that looks like a nice ride.
