Oh no, not good @AAAC 76C Hope she's back soon. I'd be devastated if we lost our cat. They become part of the family. Fingers crossed mate.

Got a feeling she is stuck in a room next door.
If she is not in by 23:00 that is 100% unusual however they have only been going out since late October and the Tabby is definitely the most adventurous.
We had our last dog for 17 years so it would be tough to loose a cat after just 5 months not to mention her sisters feelings.
Can't believe I am getting so mushy over a damn cat.

Heaven for a cat.
'Herring' Bones!

Tension in the house tonight because Tabby has not come home.

She's a little bit bigger than the below (3.5kg now) but of the pair she is my cat

Ahhh, thats terrible

We had got out of the car a couple of days ago in pretty bad weather and HID was hanging around outside, and suddenly came in with a real sweetie, all clod and bedraggled. luckily we were able to return her to her minions after 24 hours. Turns out she was an indoors cat that had escaped, obviously got scared and run and hid, without knowing how to get home. Still now reunited, but it's never nice when they don't come back when expected. Some of ours have been known to disappear for up to three or 4 days in summer ... got more sense in winter!

There are a couple of new guys around now who might be good for this - Keith and Aleman are both lighting up the leagues

I'm flattered you think so I'm happy to take part in the CG and if strong enough on that and you need a member I'd be happy to try.

Well, I've been out in the shed for 30 minutes a 11:30 at night reviewing CCTV footage trying to see any cat movements, as opposed to cat burglar. Alas nothing, a few drunks up and down the alley but no small tabby cats.
Gave up 5 minutes ago, walked around the block once more and came in to find her eating her dinner in the utility.
Now I can get some sleep.
I'm such an old maid sometimes.
Had it been a 16 year old son/daughter I would have been cross rather than just relieved.

Fully expecting a cat to go astray once in a while but what with the wife fretting and the cats sister as well it was hard not for it to get to me.

She was probably shopping. Good news.

Did wonder where my credit cards were!

Hi guys, Jacob has emailed me about the 2018 Nations Cup - to remind you it is on Saturday 17th February.

Those organising everything need to know for sure that we can put a team of 5 together again.

I am up for it but don't know if the rest the team from last time - @BILL S , @AAAC 76C , @TurboTommy , and @Daddy Pig - will be available and willing and able to ride? Also, we did discuss possibly doing a "team selection league" - what do you think Bill?

So firstly can previous team members - and anyone else up for it please confirm availability at this stage? It's obviously a competitive event so we'd want to take tbe strongest 5 riders we can....

For any newcomers not familiar with it, the Nations Cup is a 5-person team event between Denmark, Spain and GB which involves 3 back to back races on 3 different courses. It's great fun to compete in and to watch - and competitors will get a brand new virtual team GB kit for their avatar!

Hi Paul. I think we should have some sort of team selection league because we don' actually know who our strongest five riders are. As others have mentioned we have some very strong newcomers who might make the team. It could be a January selection league or it could be a one day league in the format of the Nations Cup with similar ride types. I was our weakest rider last year but happy to do it again if I make the grade.

You're a climber and good on the flats. Depending what courses they choose could be ideal for you. If they choose descent of mont vonteux I think boxers will be the man though

So relieved for you

So relieved for you

As we’re posting pictures of our mogs....
Maizee is relieved too.

I need a little help!

I'm in 4 leagues at the moment: Chain Gang, Winter Cup, LEJOG and Liga Multiplayer.

Today I rode Sateg 6 of Liga Multiplayer....... except that in the end it turns out that I didn't.

I fired up Bsim and found that the only scheduled rides showing were for LEJOG. In fact I had Stages 3 to 6 showing twice, taking up all 8 of the Scheduled Ride slots.

I went back to the website, where all my scheduled rides were showing correctly, although the LEJOG ones were duplicated there as well.

I've had this and sometimes you can edit the date of ride and shift it higher in the list. Not all rides can be edited though.

If you want to get rid of a duplicated ride that you can edit put a past date in and the ride vanishes. Handy for cluttered schedules, but a pain in the posterior none the less.

That look isn’t saying relieved to me Jim. That look’s saying: “As soon as you show any weakness, I AM going to eat you!”

None of this seems to work for me which is a PITA. Means I can only join live rides for the leagues and not do them on my own. Oh, well
