Morning to all, and to all dads "have a goodun"
Not been on bike since Friday and if I went today my popularity would fall off the edge. So tomorrow pm is the aim. Then 1 more next week before doing a "Paul Daniels" and figuring how to get bike into ecosport without removing some rear seats. (off to France next Friday)

I last rode on Tuesday, and my next chance of a ride is tomorrow, we have my son visiting from Warrington and our other son is coming up and bringing our granddaughter so if I disappeared out pedaling war would break out.

It's a bit spectacular and a nuisance, I normally sleep on my right side and at the moment can't, it also complains when I'm driving and have to use the brakes and slows me down when cycling. :sad: :angry:

Maybe it'll give those bruises a bit of relief. As long as there' not too much bouncing of grand-daughter on them.

Trying to organise a tandem ride but the whole family is here today and there are lots of distractions. Big roast dinner tonight, to which I have to contribute the Yorkshire puddings (reason being I'm the only one from Yorkshire so must be an expert) but I'm being pestered with all sorts of things. * What's the best marinade for Guinea fowl? Have you fed the dog? How do I get tar of my bodywork? Have you seen my keys? (subtext = "please find my keys").

*Don't know, No, Don't know, No

Dog walked on the beach and now back home for a coffee before having a stroll down to the village for Sunday lunch.
Been trying to book a pitch at a site near a mates house near Woodbury but have been getting no reply for two days - think the site owner is either on holiday/packed up/pegged it. I'll try again tomorrow.

Well I didn’t really want to go out on the bike but did. Glad now. Twelve months to the day since I did my longest ever ride and today I’ve put in my best 40k at 1:18:28 - 59 seconds off my previous best.

Four bottles of beer and a bottle of Calvados have arrived. Plus two of my lads phoned while I was on the ride - after 25 years you’d think they’d know what I was doing on a Sunday.

On the downside one of my good friends and cycling buddy crashed badly on the ride. Waiting to hear how he is.

Well my cycling buddy broke his elbow in today’s crash. I’m sorry to hear that but also somewhat relieved. If you’re 68 and come off a bike at speed the results can be far worse.
