Good morning people.

Hello!!! it's not raining. The sky is clear and it feels chilly so I guess we are at +/-3⁰. 5-6 riders meeting for what's described as a "social" ride at 9.30. I know there's a wide range of abilities in this little group, currently I'm the weakest, and suspect others will turn up unannounced. After three months of virtually no riding I won't be chasing anyone on my winter bike.

It's a friend's 70th today and about 9.30pm yesterday Mrs P said "we're meeting J to go bowling tomorrow." "Errr......I'm cycling" Disapproving look...........I shall see how this pans out as the day progresses.

Not much else happening. Here's hoping my wrist/hand can handle 60+ miles. 🤞

Thought Happy Valley was excellent.

Morning all.
It's not raining at the moment.

Thought Happy Valley was excellent.

Same here, a good start.
I'm going out on the bike later, just a ten mile loop, but far enough to keep the legs ticking over.

Good morning folks, no rain forecast, I’m going for a jog as soon as it “ warms “ up a bit. ( walking back from watching our local 1/4 Marathon yesterday felt tropical at about 10 degrees)

Morning all

Enjoyable walk around some little known areas of Minehead yesterday, ending up in the Quay Inn for refreshments.
Our friends cooked a superb Sunday dinner for the evening and then we watched Hot Fuzz again.

Our Muntjak** Deer was on form last night, waking us at regular intervals as it roamed through the park.
**Apparently its also known as a Barking Deer......it is bloody annoying.

We used to have them in the field behind our house in Worcestershire.
Bloody noisy things!
Our local butcher always had Muntjack noisettes for sale - they made a tasty meal.

Right - weather radar say no rain anywhere near
Met Office says it won't rain

So no excuses left - a ride will have to be done

has to be today anyway as tomorrow I have to help SWMBO's brother get our old wardrobe and stuff down from upstairs and into a van so they can move it to their new house
Then I have to leg it to SWMBO's son's house as they are having a sofa delivered and he is on a 10 hour shift (NHS Op theatres!)
so his partner is on her own with assorted kids - at least the baby but no idea if the other 2 are back in school yet! - and the old ones have to be moved out and so new ones can come in

Was planning on helping briother-in-law move bedroom stuff in at their end - but we got double booked

why does everything suddenly decide to happen on the same damn day


anyway - must get bike out of shed
so I expect it to start raining in

Back from a cold but pleasant 4.7 mile walk. As much as I like living here I do get a bit envious when I hear the much milder temperatures most of you get. Still minus 3 here.
