My problem would be that to go downhill you somehow need to get to the top of the hill.... that bit seems a bit unrealistic unless you mean someone drives you to the top

Bike Park Wales, Fort William or Antur Stiniog - you get uplifts on ski gondolas or in a van. The fear is the downhill not the up ! Not for me.

Morning, Schrodie was helping me put the bird food out this morning. He knows that it's his main job to make sure they don't steal it.

If you haven't already left your house, now is the time to reconsider what you are wearing.... its HOT out there!!! Too hot already and it's only going to get hotter, the sort of day you want 2 water bottles, sunscreen and a day off!!! (I wish)

I have a swimming lesson this morning, and an afternoon down the club, its looking like a bike ride would be a better idea.

I was having a meeting with the management this morning and it appears that the border of tiles that I have carefully saved from damage and have left in place, She doesn't like and wants to replace them.

Thanks for the heat wave warning. My wife has just been in and shown me a video of the baby Hedgehog moving around so in the event that it is going to get hotter I have been making a large cardboard shelter to go over the top to try to insulate it. I have cut large holes in the sides to allow air to flow through and placed a carpet over the top.

The sun has hidden behind the clouds for all of my 17 mile commute in. It has very kindly come out from behind the clouds literally as I pulled up outside the office

We've cycled to the pub. We are later home than intended. I may have said I'll give Alpe D"Huez a go. As in, you book it, I'll try
Alcohol is the work of the devil

You never know, I may get a new bike out of it. We think I may need more gears

Our new buyer baked a lemon cake last night and brought it in today

 

[Illaveago]

You really are banging your head against the wall this morning.

Well a hammer and chisel actually. I've stopped for a while now, my hands and arms are shaking from the impact. At least all of wrong tiles are now off. We have now got to decide what to put back on.

Well played madam!

Mr R didn't cringe when I mooted getting a new bike through Cycle to Work if I stay with my current employer...

There has been some oblique talk of a recumbency for me, going forward. We'll see what the surgeon says. Selling the current fleet would be a daunting task.

At swimming this morning they had me take of the floatation belt I've been wearing, so I've now managed to swim half a width without assistance for the first time.

Always a tricky one.

Depends, off road downhill is a different kettle of fish with big boulders/roots threatening to stop your front wheel and launch you down the track. Tarmac down hill is to be embraced. whoosh.

I'm more a fan of the latter as opposed to the former Besides, my only working bike is a roadie.
