I find running quite hard work now too but still enjoy the buzz it gives me so I will persevere as long as I can too. Shouldn't say this on a cycling forum, but if my body allowed, I much prefer running to cycling. :laugh:

It's OK to say that on here imo. 😁

I much prefer hiking and scrambling in the mountains to cycling.
 
SWMBO may need IT help this afternoon so I went for a ride this morning

still a bit windy round here but far better than yesterday
went round the canals using a route that goes up 'the Big Hill' as it avoids the wettest and muddiest part of teh canal - nice to see some boats out and about
1 cruiser moored in Runcorn and 2 narrowboats moored outside the theatre - then another narrowboat under way heading for Runcorn
Wonder what is happening in Runcorn????

Still - nice ride and not too wet

Just back from a trip to Screwfix on the Brommie. Cycled up to the door, dismounted, wheeled the Brommie to the counter, flicked the rear under, quoted order number and then loaded 4 litres of roof treatment, a new caulking gun and a couple of tubes of caulk into the basket bag, flicked the bike open, wheeled it to the door and cycled off, all in less than three minutes 👍
Before leaving home I’d made sure that my socks and trousers matched the colour of the Brommie 😎😁

Good morning all,
Sunny and frosty outside this morning.
The builder didn't turn up yesterday, but did drive past in the afternoon, briefly. I shall be chasing him up if he is not back by 9, he is normally here by 7.30.

Wordle in 6 , I just made it.:eek:

A nice long dog walk across the soggy fields later, with possibly a pint or two in the Mitre on the way home. :cheers:

A bit of sad news for me this morning, my best mates Dad died yesterday, 89 and had dementia. I have known him since I was 6, so another funeral to attend. That makes 3 already this year.:ohmy:

Enjoy your day everyone. :cuppa:


Sad news :sad: but at least you are returning from the funerals.The older I get the more funerals I seem to attend

Tenkay it was amazing to me how much a basket bag will carry.
Will be up to 10.6C by Tuesday although it is -18C at the moment. Perhaps some biking will happen next week.
Postman, sorry to hear about your health problems. Hope you can get some relief soon.
Be well and safe y'all.
The recommended load is 10kg ( although there's certainly about a 50% margin of safety allowed for in the design ) that equates to 10 litres of booze allowing for the containers and the slightly higher density of alcohol compared to water. 👍
