P'raps I'll persuade him to let me have a go 
I can imagine at this point Ianrauk fainting away in horror, as he knows I can't steer, brake or change gear on upright bikes very well. Although I am improving!

Surely you knew this already? You saw me tottering around on your Globe enough times!
Mind you, it was Delthebike's bike that I was more dodgy on because of his drop handlebars without suicide levers. I was prepared to resort to going into a ditch if I couldn't stop on that one.
btw Ian, how are the ribs? Are we going to see you on Saturday?

That's brill that you can come along!
I'll need encouragement to stay ahead of Aran20 on Cyclogs. Which could be possible right up until that TT next Sunday...

Well I may be on top of the Cyclogs CycleChat team as I type this, but I am well aware that my moment of glory is short-lived. I just saw Aran20 pootling around a bit of A-road in North-West Essex and rumour has it he may have done over 250 miles today in twelve hours. Dang! I have various photos of his back wheel disappearing out of the viewfinder too.

Ohhh that was the toughest 12 I've done. the heat was bad enough but the wind was awful on the exposed sections of the course, which really made going tough. I was going great guns in the morning covering the first 150 miles in just over 6 hours. Well I thought I'd done just over the 260 mile mark, but, the timekeepers have me down as 254.45, no p.b. but I can't really complain as conditions were tough today. Winning distance was 268.
It was ace to see A.H. on the finishing circuit and then back at the HQ briefly... Sorry I wasn't very talkative Helen... I was 'hanging' a bit by the time I got back to the HQ.

Hmmnm, seem to have poisoned my husband and myself yesterday with some food (fortunately our friend staying with us has escaped unharmed - she's a vegan so didn't eat the beefburgers, bacon or eggs we had yesterday). So both James and I are feeling under par.
So... I've not been out on the bike today. I am rather hoping I perk up by evening so I can get SOME miles in else I'll spoil my 100% record this year of cycling...

It would be a shame to lose that record AH, even with a bad tummy a half a mile down the road and back will keep you on track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
