Hmmmm........well today has been good and bad crap. £25 each for Mr and Mrs P. 😂 Good. ✔
About 8 miles in to the ride my free hub started to misbehave. At first feed stop at 12 miles, this is gravel and feed stops are based around where there's an access road, I spoke to the mechanic. We decided it would be OK to continue.
At about 17 miles fell off. Ripped off top half of the nail on my ring finger. Lots of blood.
At 21.7 miles free hub failed completely in Diggle. Outside a pub as it happens. Had to call for the support vehicle. Ride abandoned with major mechanical and a bloody finger.
😭 Bad. ❌
Home now. Mrs P has brought her nursing skills to the fore. She muttered things like "You shouldn't be allowed out." I mentioned she had broken a wrist playing tennis. Mrs P responded:
"Yes but unlike you I don't keep doing it!!!"
Oh.

Forgot this. An absolute cracker. This is a gravel sportive I'm riding, numbers and timing chips. I'm sat on a bench outside the closed pub watching riders go by. One stops.
"Are you OK mate?"
"Yep, free hub has failed and I'm waiting for the support vehicle."
"Good luck"
He sets off again. A minute later he's back.
"I've had three punctures already."
"That's bad luck"
"Yes, I've run out of tubes. Don't suppose you've got a spare I can have? You won't be needing it."
"I ride tubeless but yes I've got one for total emergencies"
Paul ferrets around in his saddlebag and hands over tube.
"Cheers mate. Sorry I haven't got any cash so can't pay you"
"Don't worry. Have fun"
Gobsmacked.

From my facebook page tonight, the old ones are the best, Lol.
John goes to visit his 93 year old grandpa in hospital, and is pleased to see him looking spry and happy.
“How are you doing, grandpa?” he asks.
“Feeling fine,” says the old man.
“What’s the food like?”
“Terrific, wonderful menus. We had chicken casserole today, almost as good as Mary’s.”
“And the nursing?”
“Just couldn’t be better. These lovely young nurses really take care of you.”
“What about sleeping? So you sleep OK?”
“No problem at all! Eight hours solid every night. At 10 o’clock they bring me a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet… and that’s it, I go out like a light.”
John is puzzled and a little alarmed by this, so he rushes off to question the nurse in charge.
“Hello, I was thinking you could clear something up for me,” he says, “I’m told you’re giving my 93 year old grandpa Viagra every night. Surely that can’t be true?”
“Oh yes,” replies the nurse. “Every night at 10 o’clock we give him a cup of chocolate and a Viagra tablet. It works wonderfully well. The chocolate makes him sleep, and the Viagra stops him from rolling out of bed…”

Second again.
I could hear the rain so lay on for a while. Still very gloomy. Can’t be bothered doing much today.
I had to go back out for another walk after Midsomer Murders last night as someone had taken my first place in the Garmin steps challenge. Can’t have that!
