You recall that pair you left here when you had to leave in a hurry? Well, when I sent them to you did you not smell the lavender on them ?

All I can smell is your usual BS.

18 mile ride for me today, the traffic was very heavy on the main road mostly trucks, but they were all very good giving me loads of room I was glad to get back on the country lanes again.

In retirement we tend to just find different things to worry about.

Yes that's true and most of it is relatively trivial. Unhappily what is keeping me awake isn't and it's a problem I'm struggling to solve. Anyway I won't go on, nothing health related I should make clear.

Lovely ride today with 72 miles at 15.8avg. One of our guys came literally within inches of getting wiped out by a Ruttle Plant tipper truck. Our guy is an HGV driver and also carries a video camera on his bars.

Must say I feel better for having clocked up some miles.

Theres a short section of the A5 I use, about a couple of hundred yards, that gets me to a lane on the right called Mere lane, this takes me to Ullesthorpe and a route through the lanes home, they've been working there for a while now but I could get through, Monday they had it all blocked off and I had to continue on the A5, theres another lane on the left that I can use and I was thinking I would use that, but when I got to that it was blocked off, I ended up riding several miles on the A5, including a section of high speed dual carriage way, before I could get off, not nice with artics flying past at sixty.

My Tom Tom 25 is no longer suppoeted even though I have lifetime maps and traffic updates

Of course I can buy a new ton Tom with a 20 percent discount for only £239.00. What a bargain.

Jeze I was thinking about putting a post up about this very thing!
I have 5 of the things and got emails to tell me to mourn their passing and spend loads of money.
I paid £50 per map revision for long enough and went elsewhere to replace the maps is all.
Edited for rubbish sentence construction.

So that's what rugby head protection looks like. I would cross the road if it was around pub chucking out time.

"Cruncher" Ollie, Team Captain.

"A strong hunk with many layers; off-pitch this macho guy is a REAL ‘wild thing’ – loves nothing more than living it rough, survival style, in the woods."
