Stay safe peeps.
Morning all, a sunny start to the day here.
MrsP is off to an animal safari park in Kent for a couple of days, so it will be just me, the dog and the cats for a few days.
Are the numbers Welshie's bank sort code?

Oh yes! My mother used to buy me those for school. When the collar and cuffs frayed or wore out she would take them off, turn inside out and stitch back on again

You're not going to resurrect this from yesterday are you? We covered this yesterday, if you keep going with it I'm just going to get bored.

Morning. I was up very early so headed out on the bike up to Lochearnhead and back.....37.5 miles. There were a few black clouds lurking but I managed to avoid them apart from feeling a little spit at one point.
As usual my neck and lower back are slightly sore so I will have a nice soak in the bath then have breakfast.
I won't bother watching all the cycling but might stick it on for the final stages. I then have athletics at 5 and Van Der Valk at 8 so a decent evening's telly for me

Good morning from a bright and VERY breezy Lancashire, blowing a gale so I'm pleased we rode yesterday. Not really sure what I'm up to today. Probably a lot of little bits and pieces, I do need to look at household insurance renewal as the quote arrived a few days ago and I haven't opened it yet.
A good start for the new club ride yesterday. Only five but everyone enjoyed themselves and the pace etc. should prove a good advert to those watching and wondering. We rode 50 miles, 3 hours 40 minutes with an average of 15.4 and moving pace of 16-18 most of the time. Only 25 minutes in the cafe for coffee and scone meaning we got home in just over 4 hours. Very much what I hoped to achieve. The most pleasing aspect was one rider chose to drop off after 3-4 miles saying it was too pacey for him and he felt he had bitten off more than he could chew. I was disappointed as a part of this was to stretch people a little. Around mile 15 he suddenly reappeared having chased us, I had slightly deviated from the route which added a slower mile on a cycle path while he took the faster road route. He then stayed with us for the rest of the ride and put in a couple of good shifts on the front. I congratulated him on this, I feel confidence was built.

I tend to stay away from cycling stuff on facebook unless its one of the local cycle clubs or one of my cycling mates.
