Early ride to Holmfirth before son no. 2 races in a 3/4 at Leeds. The ride was uneventful, but a good leg stretch before a 100km audax tomorrow..

You could carry out an experiment for next time by painting half of your TV screen with emulsion paint just prior to the match. That way you should be able to tell which looks better !

Just back from a lumpy 33 miler and 2 hours in the saddle. I think 2 hours is my backs limit on the road bike these days, worse if its flat. Strava says I wasn't many seconds off my fastest time climbing out of Gronant to Llanasa (200ft a mile so hilly), and that fast time was done pre broken back. I'm happy with that.

Passed a few groups out, and ended up in the middle of a Rhos on Sea cycling club's ride. They set off from a junction as I was approaching and the front three or four were hammering it, blowing off quite a few immediately. I just continued picking my way past each one that got dropped. Hopefully it was a training ride and not a club run, wouldn't fancy being the ones that kept being dropped.

Grass cut, and my kit is in the portable washing machine (caravan) that my parents gave us.

Grey, muggy and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.

I overslept somewhat, then spent the rest of the morning puttering around doing chores. This includes making a shopping list for later, putting a load of laundry on and re-jigging the contents of the fridges in the kitchen and utility room.

Had lunch while listening to the qualifying from Paul Ricard, and I'm now watching Hungary v France.

Oh, did Tierney play then? I didn't think he did.

Maybe I should have watched it... lol

He did play. And the full 90 mins at that.

Kieran wasn't flashy, just put in a good, solid performance.

Oh yeah, don't forget the Formula E tonight from Mexico - 21:30 on the red button. Race 2 is tomorrow at 17:45.

The gorgonzola in my fridge stinks about 10 times more than it tastes.

I'm glad I've seen the back of the piece of Morbier that was in the fridge. It was ridiculously bland and rubbery for what was a fairly pricey bit of cheese.

Lesson progressing.

We are looking back at the week and repeating lessons, but the group are so enthusiastic and keep ansking questions and trying new sentences so it's taking ages: I'm still only up to Tuesday...

I remember when I was in Holland, we had a long discussion on the meaning of arc

 

[Reynard]

I've managed to plug one of the information gaps in my archive. Yipeeeee!!!

Was a total stroke of luck actually, but it's as a result of spotting a programme from 1986 on the Bay of E accompanied by what looks to be like a complete set of timing sheets for the meeting. The seller had posted multiple photos, and in one of them was the information I needed.

So I bought the whole shebang for a tenner.

If those timing sheets *are* totally complete, then that's quite the rarity. They're not something that tends to survive.

Happy little Reynard!
