Barnet,
Good morning all fellow peeps.
Not a lot to report today, I have sold a wheel on flebay, so I have boxed it up and going to the Post Office later.
Zooplus are delivering some pet food,
and the sun is shining and it's already quite hot:sun:

Enjoy your day everyone.:cuppa:

Wish me luck folks.
Off out on my Wilier for a marshes loop to the village.
First time on my bike for just over a year since my excruciating neck problem.
I've been umming and arring about getting back on for some time, as last time I rode it aggravated the problem.
Feeling good this morning and the sun is out.......so today is as good a day as any.

Enjoy. Build up gradual and don’t go daft. My neck bothers me too these days and sometimes causes headaches later. Got to keep telling myself to relax the shoulders which helps a bit.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
All this talk of home delivery made me wonder 🤔 I'm a great fan of Aldi and do have an irrational dislike of Tesco, Sainsbury's and Waitrose. Asda and Morrison's I'm OK with.

So I've googled Aldi home delivery. Apparently at participating stores one can get a delivery via Deliveroo :eek::eek:


I go to Morrison's once a month and then get the odds and sods from the crappy Co Op in between.

There is a new Aldi opening In Newtown on 22nd July. Might have a gander after the mad opening crowds have finished mobbing the place :laugh:

Morning all :hello:
Phew! What a scorcher! :sun:
Lazy day today.
Off to Minehead tomorrow to stop overnight with our best mates.
Sunday lunch, British GP and the finish of the TdF are all on the menu, as well as good banter and cold beer. Should be a good day. :smile:
Off to Dartmoor with the van on Tuesday for a week. If the weather holds out, we may move on to the North Cornwall coast for a few days.
According to my bbc forecast its supposed to be scorching for at least 6 days.

Well.......I'm back in one piece.
Damn it's hot out there!
Neck seems OK so far. :okay:
Only did 5 miles around the Marshes and picked a newspaper up in the village.
Averaged 12.2 mph on my hybrid.
Overtook two 'proper' cyclists who drafted me in towards Velator Quay. We had to stop because of traffic and the one pulled up alongside for a chat. I told him it was my first time out in over a year and I'd suffered severe neck problems which had kept me off my bike.
He said that I'd been getting a fair old lick on.
I'll take that as a success! :becool:
