Sorry, senior moment!

Please do, the roads should be OK by early June but if you let me know your intended route I can ride around the area to check a couple of days before your ride.

Thanks for your offer, but I have changed my route to avoid the immediate Rostherne area. We will now be riding on roads that we used on nickyboy's Llandudno ride a couple of weeks ago and they were fine.

These will be the easy months I told myself... warm weather, tea rooms open, lazy long days. No frost nip, no overshoes, no having to talk yourself into it.

And do you know what, I found winter easier. Yes, it was a challenge to get out in January. But now it's warm, I have different challenges... work is mega busy, wife wants to cycle which means I have to mind the little one, and my daughter also wants to do stuff at the weekend, including cycling (and the rotten little bugger won't do a 50k).

Anyone else with these problems? I'm struggling to get one qualifying ride per month in now, and I'm kind of looking forward to October when nobody else in the house will be interested.

I'm on track (just) but I'm really not troubling the points jersey.

Well done everyone who's still in! I wonder what the points jersey looks like?

(Although I guess it's compromised by people logging slightly different things)

Just as well, it appears that Chapel Lane from Bucklow Hill to High Legh has joined the list of closed roads.

I've been avoiding the area myself.

49.6km today, no points but the ride took me to 99 miles for the week ... doh!

Perhaps I should weigh myself to see if I've come up short of my target weight too.

I might nip out for a short ride later to bank 50km for the day. I won't claim it unless I fail to get another qualifying ride in this month.

We are passing about 1 km west of there so we should be ok!

The points are really only a personal target and it not a competion and like you say people do post in different threads

If there is a jersey up for grabs I'm in...............

As the person who (perhaps unwisely) mentioned this wholly imaginary "points jersey" I should probably state that it was said entirely with tongue in cheek, and was really only brought up to make fun of my single figure tally compared to some of the veritable Sagans here.

So there isn't a jersey? I'm out then
