Morning. Who has been banned. Who has flounced. Who is the trouble maker today

Bright and Sunny but cold here. Should be another nice day when it warms up a bit.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning folks,
Got some new rim tape and a spare inner tube on the way from the excellent Brilliant Bikes. Might arrive today as they posted it yesterday ( I only ordered just after 2:00pm ) A friend is popping round this afternoon, he's thinking of getting some " Hoka " running shoes. We both take the same size, and as I have three pairs of their various incarnations he's going to try them on for fit/comfort.
Meanwhile a trip to town might be in order, I've realised that I need a new Polo shirt in the correct shade of red to match my bike 🤔
Have a peaceful day folks 👍☕

Morning all

Looks like it will be another gorgeous sunny day here in Norfolk.
Hitching up in a couple of hours and moving on to Thurne in the Broads.

This is getting ridiculous... It is nearly 09:00 but I feel like I have been dragged out of bed by men in black hoods and beaten about the head with baseball bats. Less than 4 hours sleep. I was in the middle of a weird dream and now I'm in the twilight zone trying to clear my head to go out...

Back from just over 6 hilly miles. Perfect morning for it. Still cool enough to be able to stride out and not get too warm but nice and bright.

I see we are getting royalty. At the top of one of Crieff Hydro's fields there's a bit been fenced off and a section of trees planted. Last time I passed there was a big standing stone at the entrance. This morning there is a plaque on it saying it is the Jubilee Plantation opened on 23rd April, 2022 by HRH Duke of Kent so he must be doing the honours.

UPDATE:
Doorbell rang just before 10:00 and the Postie haded me a packet from Brilliant Bikes! outstanding service, postage was free too. Inside was a copy of the invoice with a little hand written " Thank You " note :-)
Rim tape fitted, puncture repaired, tyre fitted in the correct orientation, with the "1" of the " Schwalbe One 1 " in line with the valve stem on both wheels 😁

And I thought I was a touch obsessed with clothing and bikes!

I always buy black, grey or titanium bikes as it's much easier to put together appropriate kit with a neutral background. I did once have a black and green Dolan........guess what our club colours are???

Elevenses!!

Two washes done, beds changed, tea made, general tidying done, got the bins in. Time for a coffee before hoovering and dusting.

Not an obsession as such, I mean it’s not as though I’d go to the lengths of finding the exact shade of red ( RAL 3020 ) or black ( RAL 9005 ) or anything…

Disappointed to be honest. I expected more.
