Early night tonight as I'm too tired to stay up much longer - even with Le Mans on the TV & streaming the commentary. I was woken at just after 3 o'clock this morning by work on the rail line upgrade. Didn't they think that it was a bit early to be using a noisy, high revving petrol powered grinder or cutting machine - idiots!

I'm going to stay up till I wilt.

Given that I was up well before 6 this morning, that will probably be in about three hours or so...

You'll not be listening to the whole race!

You're not listening to the whole race!

Probably not this time, though I usually do if I can.

The first time I stayed up to listen to the the whole race was 1990...

There's only 15 hours 27 minutes to go.

I'm still here. Now watching live on Quest.

With another of course.

If I turn around at the village of Eyach, I'll ride a total of 165k there and back, this being 4k over the 161 required for an imperial century.

Morning. It is all go here at the moment . The top window was open ,which Schrodie spotted and immediately leapt up onto forcing me to leap out of bed to catch him before he dropped out . I lowered him down thinking it was safe to do so only for him to spot a walk! I would say fly, but it didn't ! He then chased it at slow speed, the fly refusing to fly .

How did the rear wheel get back there ?

I took the new phone back . It is amazing how new technology can replicate the sound of 2 empty baked bean cans and a piece of string .
My wife went on line and discovered a solution to our BT phone problem . Something to do with a call log thingy being full ! Once that was emptied the thing has been working fine .
I'm expecting a newer arrival later .

Because of my astonishing acceleration.

More sensible answer: It's an Xtracycle free radical bolted onto the back of a hybrid mountain bike. Very clever and makes the bike more useful and more comfortable.
