I don't. Then again, most of the old farts here are senile.

So the heavens opened at 8.15 and I bailed. Back to bed, slept till 10.00, read till 11.00.............and now the sun's out, Lycra on and I'm off to try a new cafe I've heard about.
First job was student gardener at RHS Wisley. No idea what we earned but I started in September '72 and spent the autumn sweeping leaves. There were a lot of trees..........

53 miles?! Wow Dave, how did you build up to riding that far? That is very impressive. Do you ride alone usually or with mates? How long do you take to ride that distance? Thanks.

Good morning all. 47° F and light rain this morning. Taking another day off from riding. Weather permitting, will try and do around 32 miles tomorrow. Lazy kind of day. A lot of couch surfing and tv watching. Sure wish I could join some of you for some jars and F&C! Sounds like a lot of fun! Have a great day all!

He does sound like an awfully nice chap.By george, i do belive Mr @BobP is beginning to get it chaps. Well done Mr Bob.
PS. I'm in the pub.
I phoned the golf club ay 08.30 to book a tee for next week. It was lashing down ** here so I said to the guy "you wont get many out playing today"......he said "we've got 35 on the course already"
I mean.....08.30. Just getting light. Freezing cold. Heavy rain and wind. And they are out playing golf. Are they mad??
**@BobP "lashing down" = p*ssing down
ie. Raining rather heavily.**@BobP "lashing down" = p*ssing down

I've been cycling for over 50 years, for 25 of those I was a club rider, I've ridden club rides, Audax"s, charity rides and reliability trials. And I commuted by bike for over 30 years. I'm now in my mid sixties with a dodgy ticker so I can still do the distance but I'm slow, yesterdays ride took close to 4 hours.

So I'm in the new cafe and I'm sort of 60/40 - great soup, good coffee but the Tea Bread* could be moister and should come with butter. Good value.
They have a sharing table which was the only place to sit. Now I think people who sit on sharing tables need to understand cyclists sweat, quite a lot.......
@BobP *Tea Bread is a fruit cake made with cold tea. Oup norf it's served with butter.
While I'm on the patisserie section the local delicacy in my town is Chorley Cake. This is a pastry filled with currants, it should also be served with butter.
Bread, cake, pastry, biscuit.......love 'em
