Is @potsy trying to hypnotise you

I think Colin was telling one of his stories again, either that or I was just knackered

Is @potsy trying to hypnotise you

He did seem to pop up in a few didn't he
I think the suggestion must have been planted that every photo contained a Potsy

 

[hopless500]

Actually, I have another one here, which for some strange reason also contains a Potsy. I wasn't going to post it, but on reflection I think it is worth posting as I have to wonder what Phil was thinking. Maybe this one should be a caption competition

Looking at all these photos, is it safe to asume that Snipe has now been adopted as the official forum dog?

Jo was very determined about taking hold of Snipe's lead at the station today.

I think Phil meant the dazed stare.....

I was wondering why @potsy had been trying to hypnotise you of course

I realised after I had posted, but couldn't be bothered to change my post

I was trying to convince her that the route back was flat

Well I thought as much ......... I am not sure it worked

I went out and did my lumpy Cragg Vale loop this afternoon and I could tell that my legs were stronger after Saturday's ride. Bring on SITD in 2 weeks time! (Don't forget to visit my SITD thread if you are interested in taking part.)

For those of you who fancy another Bowland forum ride - I am planning one to take place in June, on a date yet to be decided.

Spurred on by the success of the Glasson Dock ride, I have already plotted a route visiting a lot of places that I haven't taken rides to before, and including some that I have never ridden to myself. It is a full-on hilly route, the same length as the one we just did (104 km) and with some wonderful scenery.

I need to confirm that there is a suitable cafe where I hope there is one, and I will also need to come up with an alternative route in case of bad weather because this one would be a nightmare in bad conditions! I will start a separate thread about it in a week or two.
