Plans for the weekend?

[johnnyh]

yep, told Jnr we would go for a ride tomorrow, but given the forecast and the fact the weather has gone mad in the last hour, I think it might be stay in, stay warm and a couple of games on the Wii.

Oh well my first plans (club run) didn't happen, I couldn't be bothered with the wind but other than that the weather looks fine. When I get my act together I think I'll head out for a while; afterall I'm sitting here in my cycling kit.

I did not see you at the Commie Pool this morning. It was a good day for a club run - gusty but not too bad. I sat in a largish group of around 20 and enjoyed the spin out.

Yeah I went out on a solo ride a bit later on and the weather was near perfect.

If the weather forecast is to believed, then I'll be staying inside tomorrow!

Well, I won't be out for a 'pleasure ride' - be in garage giving the commuter a quick once over before Monday.....

The forecast on Metcheck is not too bad tomorrow - I think I will venture out for a 30 miler mid morning.

Went out riding yesterday for 40 miles in another howling gale - I was juts at the end of a cold so it was fairly sedate. I had the option to go mtbing today, but instead I've stayed in to mend the front brake on my downhill bike...

Feeling quite depressed, actually, so I'm trying to get to the bottom of it.

Just going to see off an Xmas pud we had left over, then I'm off to bother Bruntingthorpe and the other villages of south Leicestershire for a couple of hours.

I put my first entry onto cyclogs on Friday so I'm going to have to get on with some miles or I'll languish on the last page of the leaderboard

Wanted to go out yesterday morning as it was still and dry, but we had to go and buy a new power shower and dishwasher. Got back about lunchtime and installed the shower and the new dishwasher, finished that about mid afternoon, by which time the wind was howling off the sea. So a trip to Boots and M+S for some extra bits and bobs.

thought about going out today, but the Hail/Rain/Thunderstorms etc coming off the sea every 20 minutes is putting me off, so off to Tesco for a food shop.

Allthough it has brightened up a bit now, but there is a Rock n Roll bed ending on Ebay soon that I want for my van, so it is looking like a bike free weekend for me!!!!

Flew back from Gran Canaria to Oslo yesterday.

Flying from Oslo to Stansted today (now), heading to Norfolk for the week.

Also hope to plan my next trip: I have 6 weeks at my disposal.

Yesterday i was working.
Today i went out to do the route of the Reliability ride that the bike club im in is going to be doing, with a few other people.
Chain came off on the fixed while i was doing about 30mph, then about 5miles later, it came off again. Luckily it didnt make the back wheel lock.
So for the rest of the day im going to be taking appart the the fixed. Im getting a new fixed frame soon, so ill be getting the stuff from the fixed to go onto it.
Then looking at how much to turn the old fixed(daffodil) into a TT bike

That was a good Forecast I got out for a pleasant 46 miler (a bit windy) and it was only near home the weather started to change for the worse, fortunately I made it home before all hell broke out.

Is that the Long Eaton one?

I made the mistake of waiting too long before going out for a spin. Got out to Winchburgh before the rain started, turned for home and we both had a soggy return journey back into town. we both forgot our rain jackets and were quite damp and cold when we finally got back home. Still, it was a decent run for a slow Sunday. Just finished cleaning 3 bikes and got them ready for another week.

I completed my 100km ride having faffed about and not starting the ride until 11:00. The weather was mostly fine and the wind not too strong untill the last hour of the ride when it became hard work to complete the last 15km towards Wetherby from Boroughbridge.

No ride - bit of DIY - replaced the shower head rail (been knackerd ages) and also fitted an additional lock to the garage door (now has 3) (neighbour has had a break in - although he just had the standard locks)...might just keep a certain fella on 'ere from getting my Ribble....
