Hmmmmm.......I think it's a good morning. I feel we may have overindulged last night. We had friends round for a meal and a game of Canasta. A good time was had by all but I've binned the idea of heading out on a club ride. 
Cool with light cloud in Lancashire with a maximum of 16⁰ forecast. I have many odds and sods which need doing which is the real reason for not riding today. This frees up time later in the week to check a route.
I have a gravel ride to lead next Sunday. Yesterday's final recce went badly and I need to check the route very carefully. It's very strange because I've ridden the route twice and found some very minor tweaks were needed. I corrected those for yesterday but then got utterly lost near Wigan. It's relatively simple to ride through Wigan off road, somehow I emerged in central Wigan without a clue to my whereabouts.
That would have been deeply embarrassing when leading a group.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. We had a bit of rain last night and a tad more is predicted today.
Ye God's. Did I hear someone say they iron tea towels?
. Good God almighty.
Stay safe folks

Good morning peeps.
After washing the bed linen yesterday, there was a bit of a pong coming from somewhere in the bedroom.
Well, last night I tracked it down to my slippers. The stench coming from them was pretty hideous.
They are now in the washing machine in the hope of getting rid of the smell. If the slippers disintegrate in the machine so be it.
No riding today, I have a Zoom meeting at 3 with our friend out in Aus.
I will be out with the dog shortly for a couple of hours.
Stay safe everyone

Sunny intervals and light winds forecast. Not a day to be out triking on my usual route as lots will be heading for the west coast beaches.
Somebody on FB saying the midges were out in force in Aros Park. Like walking into a bush down there they were so thick. Warm and damp with lots of tourists free camping illegally. Midge heaven.

Morning. I was up back of 4 and out on the bike at 4.50. First circuit of Dunning Glen/Glendevon over near my home village. It's a constant 3 mile pull which is normally ok but not when I'm carrying so much excess lard! Just over 42 miles with 2,300 feet of elevation.
Enjoying my breakfast now.
