Good afternoon all.
The dark clouds are coming from the south, and the thunder is rumbling.
After bimble and an ale or three at the Mitre I was going to settle down and watch the 100 cricket, which is cricket but not as we know it. It's pouring down at Lords which is more or less 8 miles due south from Barnet 🌩

We has got hot hot up here.

 

[Dave7]

I think I will enjoy this

Bright sunshine and scorchio here now

Back from 52 miles wandering about in East Lothian with Mrs F. Mostly sunny, temp high teens. Picnic lunch in a field near Haddington.

The sky looking south at the moment.

Stuffing cereal down my face after a 47 mile spin. It felt close to my limit these days. I think my days of 50 plus miles are maybe over as the old legs were weary and the back was grumbling.

With respect, I suspect that you are WRONG...

I reckon that you are significantly fitter than me and I can still manage hilly 100+ mile rides. The difference is that I don't get up before I've gone to bed and rush out the door while it is still dark every day to do them...

If I did a 50 plus mile ride one day, I'd take it easy the next day. If I did 100+ miles, I would take it easy for half a week!

You need a rest now and then. Have a few easy days and you'd soon be chomping at the bit again.

Getting up and out before you've gone would be a neat trick.

You're not afraid of the dark, are you?

A reference to the Four Yorkshiremen sketch!

Well, may I be first to wish all oldies a very good morning.
Slept heavy last night. The heat did keep waking me up but I got back into a heavy sleep.
Aldi dash at 0750.
Son and girlfriend are coming this afternoon. Staying at least 1 night, maybe 2. He can eat for England so I must stock up .
I will get a walk in this morning before it gets to warm.

Good morning all.

 

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
A warm, sticky start to the day here.
All the usual things to do today, dog walking, domestics, and a ride out on the bike later.

Stay safe everyone

 

[welsh dragon]

Coooeee. A very misty start here. I can't see the hills at all.

Stay safe peeps.
