Find? Were you out and about and it just appeared in the middle of the road? Is that the story you're telling your other half?

He went under an archway and it appeared in his hand. Didn't know what to do with it, so opened it and drank it, then carried on in a slightly less straight line.Find? Were you out and about and it just appeared in the middle of the road? Is that the story you're telling your other half?

Up the Howardian Hills yesterday! Was absolutely stunning and the weather wasn't bad either! Ended up in Easingwold which probably has the highest % of cafes to population in Yorkshire
Hope everyone gets out to enjoy this weather
I got out yesterday morning. Very sunny but a bit of a breeze down here in the SW and chilly. My target was about 50km in 2 hours and I managed slightly longer distance in slightly less time so was pretty pleased with that. Although I did pick a flat route so average speed was slightly flattering

I did 55 miles with the BMCC C-ride yesterday. Quite windy but nice and sunny. Visited the Hook Norton Brewery. It was noticeable that the winter Zwifting had helped and I felt good afterwards. So I rode again today with the B/C ride. I don't normally do back-to-back club rides, but another 50 miles in the bag without much strain and I'm confident that I could handle an A-ride again.

Great stuff. I think that’s why most people put themselves through it in the winter, isn’t it. Really makes those summer miles enjoyable rather than a slog 🙂

Having not done it before (outdoor only for the last 3 years), I wasn't sure how well it would work because (apart from the 6 week FTP-builder) I've been doing pretty much the opposite of the classic "long slow Zone 2 rides" base building. Instead it's been mostly "go on Zwift and either race or get drawn into overtaking people" with a maximum length of about 2 hours. But it certainly has helped.
I did my own version of Everesting today, spent 3 hours going up and down 4.5m box scaffolding, why cant control units be at ground level. My roller shutters stopped working electrically. The electrician had been fitting a new consumer panel, noticed incorrect phasing on the old 3 phase mems2, so sorted that for my EV chargers. But said that the shutter control was now backwards.
However the shutters refused to run at all. I spent a fair while chasing my own tail swapping the wiring trying to get the correct phasing, because of different wiring colours. trying to understand why the manual chain interlock stopped it all. But there was actually 2 problems, the phasing and the actual fault. Turned out the limit switch cam was loose on its spindle and had rotated out of position, changing the logic on the motor control. Once that was figured out, I retraced the different wiring colours back to the new board and sorted the correct phase rotation. Restored shutters
I was cursing the electrician, thinking he caused the fault

Every one of those words, on their own, I understand the meaning of. Add them together into sentences and it's all Greek to me!! That's why I get a man in to do things rather than risk blowing myself upI did my own version of Everesting today, spent 3 hours going up and down 4.5m box scaffolding, why cant control units be at ground level.
