Hello Young (at heart) Cyclers, Wherever You Are - it's the Tour de Macc this Sunday, Sep11th.
This is fairly energetic - 50 miles and some steep hills, but it is very scenic and there's a nice friendly pub just before the really steep climb - walking perfectly OK.
Be at Chorlton Water Park at 10 am for a 10.15 start. All the usual stuff, working bike, waterproofs, positive mental attitude.
See y'all there.

Now for a nap

Oh dear. It's never good.

Never.

Round about Watford would be a good idea, coast to coast

I think around Watford would be sufficient.

You have all the Manc weather. It's actually rather gorgeous here this weekend.

Don't believe him.

I think he means he farted.

It was 13c when I was out this morning at 6am

Preparing to go out to an exclusive Italian restaurant. Celebrating again.

That's Shropshire.

I was sure Tolkien based The Shire on his childhood memories of the Midlands?

Ah yes. Lu's imminent birthday. I'll leave the jokes to spotty.

I'm celebrating whatever those two are celebrating too, by having a pizza
