Well done Mick. That's keep it going and use our rides to spur ourselves on.

Me too. Blimey it's blowing a gale. I was off-road on my gravel bike on an old disused railway line so that gave me a bit of cover from the wind. Starting to feel a bit less knackered after each effort.

Drink break. Very, very, wind!

Cycling again later this morning. Going to feel that breeze....

Had a walk around it a couple of weeks ago. It's really come into bloom since.

Lolled and lolled again.

Yeah we have em in the cupboard permanently on account of two grandsons aged 2 and 3. They love em, I hope they can't be arsed eating them...

Couple of Double Diamonds on the side or a Party 4?

Bisto?

I used to go over every May for a week "golfing". Stayed in Army transit hotels and once in officers mess.
Superb weeks. Even managed a few decent rounds of golf despite it being a mark a pint in the naafi.

It's a "youth hostel".
Any stay in Germany is good. Great beer and scran.

Good thinking. I do at the cinema

Out of the wind and in the wind are two entirely different places.

It's sunny over here, but fucking freezing.
11°C minus wind chill.

Correction £2.94😁
Unfortunately crisps are still £1.80

Pint(s)
Nearest pub has a "Monday club"
Cask beers all £2.96 a pint.....
On Wold Gold

Tell you what I resented yesterday. Went berserk for Ndiaye's disallowed goal before the review thingy came up just like everyone else. When we equalised I held back a bit because, you know, what if it gets disallowed for some reason?
Fucking VAR ruining goals even when it's not involved

Mouths watering. I had sardines on toast, levels.

Have a belter mate.

This morning's effort. Tad under 29 miles, but I've probably got another 20 or so in the tank. Slowly does it...

Drink break. 22 miles in...
Progress

I'm finding it easier to leave it alone of late after a period when I felt I "needed" a few to chill/relax. A bit of discipline is always favourable.

Fair play.

My sporting weekend was completed by my RL team forgetting how to play the game...again. I'm not expecting any silverware in that department this season. We are miles off every week for 4/5 weeks now. I know we are missing key personnel but the basics and effort are minimum requirements.

One of them is a repeat offender. Known him since school, complete prick.
The other is an East Yorkshire born glory hunter who doesn't know better.
None of the reds I interact with on here have taken the piss and I'm not surprised as I find them all ok.

Had a couple of long known Reds laughing in my face. It's not big and it's not clever.
To those who didn't turn to ridicule, congratulations, just shaded it.

Well that late winner really left a sour taste in my mouth. So much so that I couldn't face a beer! Hence I had 4 alcohol free days in the last week instead of my targeted 3!
Today I'm going to do another, hopefully slightly longer bike ride.
If I fancy it might have a couple of pints.

Blimey, you were up early. Congrats on the win, it really pissed me off but didn't surprise me. Fell out with a couple of gloaters, one I've known since school.

Good work. It's difficult to get dimwits to see the light.
