I know Potsy will tell me off for wittering but here in this fab b@b they have 2 big ponds for the Koi with a tunnel between them and our landlady swims with them in the bigger pool and i mean an 20ft long pool.

That's a small bottle or a very big glass......and the koi are whales

I'm hoping its some kind of illusion, I'm going to test the theory out here .... But I can't be bothered to record my results but I may repeat the experiment several times ..... Just to check it isn't a one off!

Swimming with Koi ...... Like swimming with dolphins?

It's worth checking, a second opinion is always good

The advantages of Lycra is it stretches....l though sometimes past the point of decency!

A friend had to inform me of this last weekend. We have a friend called Tim whose shorts became extremely indecent a few years ago. We now describe such failings on the Tim scale.

Yes, in this pond certainly and my room is next to it

Bit like the afternoon nap being called "doing a Rocky"

I went out on one of my normal Sunday rides and got caught up in the bath sportive. Got told off by a marshal for not wearing a helmet and told him I wasn't in the sportive so please be quiet using my most polite language. Decided to cut my ride short for coffee. This is arty as my coffee shots get.

I'm afraid Ortlieb is as fancy a label as i have to hand unlike Eroica

Got an hour in before breakfast as I had stripped the bike down and rebuilt it yesterday. I was about 20miles in before having my ride ruined by other cyclists. So I am now waiting for Halford to open and pick up a chain for the winter bike which I am selling to a mate. That bike also was stripped yesterday. Too much maintenance and not enough riding

Don't fancy stripping one of mine do you ?

I'm a bit rubbish at that sort of thing.

Well the old steel bike has just been ridden to Bristol and it's hammered down with rain most of the journey and then I find my mate who is having the other bike is not running his pub. Pff bit of a wet waste of time. Me sheltering under a bridge mid journey..

I love working on bikes but think a trip to the Europe may be a little bit far
