Another lovely morning for a bike ride, I'm sat in the Bake 180 cafe at Middleton Hall with a coffee and a bacon bap, its been a lovely ride out, though I did manage to cock up a corner, I carried far too much speed into a corner inches deep in mud and ended up running round the outside on the verge.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Nice and sunny here now although it is still bitterly cold. Because I have a large expanse of Windows it heats up nicely. 😄
Picked up a mixed case.
3 each of Oatmeal Stout, Thirst of Many, Blonde Ambition and North Coast IPA.
Had them without the labels - £18 for a case.

Pouring rain again but not much wind. Probably waiting on my next ferry trip to complicate the journey.
The field opposite my house used to have half a dozen ewes about now awaiting lambing. Belonged to a guy who had no land but kept sheep on an itinerant basis. Often I suspect using “ the lang park” ie the road verges. He has now retired I think as there is now a solitary horse tho’ horses prefer company. This one gets treats regularly from all the neighbours. A friend with a large grass area next to his house borrows a couple of cattle and some sheep from time to time. Easier than a lawnmower.

Just had an estimate for the damaged rear bumper on the car £375......... Ouch....it's all pay out this year what with a new computer, new glasses and now this.
I was only telling someone last week.....that Welshie has a very nice large expanse and it really heats up well

I got back a little while ago having ridden a cheeky little 51 miles, a thoroughly enjoyable mornings ride but a little to dramatic for my liking, I got to the top of Four pounds Avenue and punctured, theres a manhole cover thats slightly raised with some rough tarmac round it, I normally go round it but this afternoon I clipped the corner of it, I was travelling at about 20-22 mph at the time.. I got in and was taking my jacket off and realized the zip was knackered, I'm now in the market for a new jacket. I've now put on 416 miles for January, a good solid start to the year, I won't have a chance to ride until Monday, we're on a pensioners coach trip tomorrow and on Saturday we're having the ceiling repaired in the back of the lounge so once I've done the shopping Friday I've got the back of the lounge to clear.

Any chance of a photo of the bumper damage, I would be looking at a smart repair rather than a bodyshop.
