Sleeping is like going to the loo, when you got to go........What, at 2.30 pm? Save your sleep for later on tonight, when it is proper sleeping time.

Just take a pair of tyre levers with you to speed thing up a bit.

It might help with constipation, but I'm not sure that juggling tyre levers would help me sleep!Just take a pair of tyre levers with you to speed thing up a bit.
I have actually felt tired at night a couple of times recently and so have turned the TV off before 02:00, gone to bed, and have stopped solving crosswords and playing puzzle games by 02:30. Trouble is, then I wake up again a couple of hours later...
It was about 04:15 when I got off last night (this morning!) but I still woke up a couple of times before my alarm.

£20 on clearance, ARCO Bradford.And in Devon cottages...
Which reminds me, I must buy a bump cap before my next visit to chez sis! I had a quick look for a suitable one when I discovered that such things exist, but the 'one-size-fits-all' sizing of the ones I looked at didn't include my biggish head size (61 cm)!

I just found my old cycle helmet. It is probably a bit big to wear around the house, but I might give that a go next time that I go down there. If I left it there, it would save me carting a helmet back and forth for my Devon cycling holidays.
If not suitable indoors, there is a Screwfix store in Exeter where I could buy a bump cap.

And the one time you forget to wear it, you'll hit a beam.

Well, I was doing that several times a day when I was there last time so I reckon it wouldn't take me long to get into the habit!
I think those impacts concussed me - I have had a 'fuzzy head' on and off since I came back. Mind you, the insomnia definitely doesn't help either...

Could be the change of air as well.

I have finished my training for the tour de Mon on Sunday with a 26 miles ride earlier on, and half of it against a strong wind on the way back on my Specialized Roubaix . I am taking the Cube Peloton as some of the slopes are 13% so I will need the 30/32 it has as opposed to 34/32 on the Trek and Roubaix.
I may do a short flat ride on Friday or I may not. Going to Holyhead on Saturday to collect my number and bag of goodies between 2 and 6 pm and check the Cube over.
Keeping an eye on the weather every day now and it doesn't look too bad so far.
Will I do it again next year? I honestly don't know as I am not getting any younger. This will be my third Tour de Mon.
