Good morning to you all.
Very damp here.
At the weekend I decided that I have drifted into laziness and am eating too much rubbish food - chocolate mainly.
Not been the best year for hiking/cycling with the latter being at zero miles. Impacted by two operations etc and I am still awaiting another renogram to determine left kidney function and hoping that a third op' is not needed.
So... from today I will up my hiking mileage, dust off the lovely bike and get out on that (hills are going to be hard for sure) and go cold turkey on the choccie.
Fingers crossed it all goes to plan - at least I have managed to get back on top of my gym sessions over the last couple of months so that's a cause for hope that I'll stick to the plan.
Another upside of all this malarky is that since 19 Jan, when my kidney problem started, I have had only one small glass of fizz to drink which was for our anniversary. 99.9% teetotal then.

I've enjoyed my bimble, I rode my Meriden loop, 25 lumpy miles ridden. I was out just before 9 at the tail end of the school run, with three schools by us the school run can get a tad bonkers, out of Coventry through Allesley and up Harvest Hill lane, I rode through Kinwalsey lane this morning, this lane has been closed for sometime now but theres no work going on and the road isn't blocked anywhere, back into Coventry through Burton Green across the city and home. The morning was sunny and cool at first but warmed up as the ride progressed, by the time I got home I was over dressed

I only have one working kidney. During the 1st op for bladder cancer the surgeon told me he had to cut deeper than he wanted and in doing so he killed it.

An update from Daughter No4, after GNR exploits, phone call this morning:
1. Legs hurt
2, head hurts
3. Dad, can I borrow £50
I would guess:
1 as a result of the run
2 & 3 as a result of the session in the pub, after the run

Why does it say March 9th at 1.10am?

Because that was when the route was uploaded, I don't use a GPS device to navigate on my rides, but I will use Ride With GPS on my phone to record my rides for future reference, they then go online in Ride With GPS and into a folder on my computer. So March the 9 2021 was the day I recorded the route I used today..

Nice route , I like cycling out there but very rarely do , as living in Binley I have to cycle right across the city at its widest point to get there 😀 . I had enough of riding from Binley to Tile hill and back when I worked over there for a decade . 😂😀

For a long time I was working at GEC Stoke and used to cycle there from Earlsdon, I also worked on the industrial estate further up, the one on the pit site opposite Morrisons, cyclied there from Earlsdon and from Holbrooks when we moved up here.
