Who else didnt ride today ?

[twentysix by twentyfive]

No cycling for me but I did a fair bit with the brush cutter and then the hedge trimmer which lead to lots of sweeping, raking and wheel barrowing. Drank and drank and took regular breaks in the shade.

I stayed in, recovering from @Sea of vapours' attempt at murdering me yesterday with multiple exposures to gradients exceeding 20% in the Yorkshire Dales in (literally) blistering heat!

I will be out in the heat again tomorrow so I don't feel too guilty about being lazy today.

Sold my car this weekend and was going to deliver it this morning and ride back from Ipswich, but instead delivered it last night and rode back from 9.00pm to 1.00am. Have to say it was a rather lovely ride through peaceful Suffolk countryside at that time but would have been properly hot if I'd done it at lunchtime today!

I was determined to cycle this morning. The plan was to get out of the house by 7.30 and home before 9.30 after usual 50 km Sunday ride. But I had to answer some important telephone calls. Finally, I left at 9.45. I managed to cycle but I was exhausted did not have energy even to do some stretches when I got home. I had to take a one hour rest just to recover. But I saw plenty of other cyclists on the road.

Cycle at the weekend?
Never ever
Gave that up years ago
After 5 days of commuting by bike I have had enough

In fact by Monday I have had enough!

I haven't done a Sunday ride for ages, we normally have a house full of family on a Sunday so no chance, I plan to ride tomorrow. Next Sunday though it seem that everybodies working overtime so I'll get a chance to ride.

Not for me today, a 5 hour MTB event from Ingleton yesterday, the last hour felt like I was slowly melting and running out of the cleat holes in my shoes, from Wharf up to Sulber Nick was just draining me of everything, so today has been spent moving very slowly between the conservatory and garden bench

It was far too hot today to sit out in never mind ride in! I waited till 6.30 then went out for a ride, It was still mad hot and seeing as i couldn't find my sweatband the stuff was dripping into my eyes. I managed 25 miles, though it was more a chore than pleasure.

 

[Hugh Manatee]

Nothing today and zero guilt. I did do a fair few miles yesterday. Couple of dodgy moments when I nearly came off on melting tar!
Today I made 10 jars of gooseberry jam and picked about 3Kg of blackcurrants! Up early tomorrow to get my daughter to her D of E practice expedition in Llangollen.
Planning a mountain bike ride on Tuesday!

60 miles, then home for a shower before cycling down to watch my daughter in a Dragon Boat race. At all times I was too hot and indeed now still too bloody hot.

 

[Hugh Manatee]

No cycling, but I went to the Airpark and flew ( and chased) some rubber powered model aircraft around.

There was something like that going on at Cosford yesterday. What looked like a very large model jet complete with jet engines was buzzing part of the runway.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Not me. Far too hot even for me. Watched cyclig and F1 instead

Same here with a pub visit..to hot walking to the pub and back!!
