Fooled by the weather forecast again and went out for a ride in summer gear. Thing is, the front of our house is a sun trap so it seemed to be the correct clothing as I set off. But by the time I'd done 5 miles into a cold blustery wind I was a little chilly and when it started to rain it was time to turn for home.
21 miles with 1,800ft of climbing at 15mph. Getting fitter and faster - had no other option than to go as fast as I could just to keep warm.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning folks. A bit damp and misty here. :hello:

Pictures from yesterdays Tour of Yorkshire ride to Fishlake to watch the ladies race, today they are coming through Pontefract about 1/2 mile from home, the plan is to meet some lads from the club to watch the ladies come through then a hilly ride and back to watch the men through, today won't be as tough as tomorrow or Sunday for the men (womens finishes today) but some of the lesser climbs may catch them out.

Terrible night's sleep.:sad:
Spent half of last night half dozing in bed trying to think of the names of several guys that I used to work with for over 20 years. I could see their faces but couldn't, for the life of me, remember their surnames!
Sleep overcame me in the end. Woke up half an hour ago and their names just popped into my head! What's all that about?!:angry:

Since my Good Ladies come out of hospital she's developed a case of the early morning dropsie's, so far it's cost us several mugs. Came in from putting washing out first thing this morning to find the contents of her bowl of cornflakes on the floor, cue several minutes crawling round under the table with a dustpan and brush in my hand, fortunately the bowl had survived the event.
