Tea? (Part 2)

[Arch]

Okay, so I've fitted my pedals and saddlebag, along with the bottle cage. Lights going on tomorrow. Got a free upgrade on my pedals and glasses too as the ones I was quoted on weren't in stock. Win!

Enjoy....

Very pretty. And is that Potsy's dinner bowl on the floor behind it?

 

[ThinAir]

Potsy must be one messy eater! That bowl belongs to my little mate James :-D He's pretty cool!

And thanks @Arch, I love it

It was very on this evenings ride.

I didn't do 26 miles and I didn't 36 miles and I didn't do 57 miles I did 35.77 miles.

Someone scalped me on the way over the moors so I gave chase and managed to keep up with them on the decent from the moors into Otley, I was aiming for 40mph+ but I only managed 39.52 mph .

Got back at 10:10pm and it was still just light and still

I am looking forward to hitting the sack and trying out my new mattress that was delivered to day to go with my new bed

^^^^ I've got a good mattress, but a sh1t bed frame, so I cannot wait for the new one. I have a feeling when you get into your bed, it will feel pretty epic!

The difference just changing the bed frame from a divan to a proper metal bed was amazing I woke up feeling rested instead of feeling knackered, so I thought I would treat myself and replace the 10 year old mattress as well.

When I took the old bed to the tip I had to chop it up to get it into the car and after seeing how it was built I wont be buying another divan, it didn't have the support it should that's for sure it was crap for what it cost.
My new bed has 2 rows of proper slats, the divan was 2 wooden boxes with cardboard stapled to the top and then covered in fabric

The new mattress is sprung then it also has a layer of memory foam on top of that, I had a devil of a job getting a fitted sheet that would fit over it as it is a lot deeper that a standard mattress.

Evenings!!
This evenings WNRttP was at a ...somewhat lively pace for what is billed as a beginners ride. The food at the refreshment stop looked good though... Must head out there to eat sometime.
Having had a couple of we rode back to the Dun Cow for a couple more.
I have a feeling I'll regret this in the morning.

 

[ThinAir]

Morning all needed, can I get one for anyone else?

Yes please. Can't believe its my day off and I am awake at this ungodly hour. Having said that, it is like a three hour lie in....

Excited to get out on my new bike (did I mention I'd got one?) but have to wait until as late ad 12pm because a delivery guy is supposed to re delivering my punchbag before then. I hate waiting, and this is like a double wait!

 

[Night Train]

We've been up and about (slobbing out on the sofas catching up with the internet) for a while now. Had a and breakfast and about to head out.

Back from my ride - 27 miles today (a different route and on a different bike - just in case anyone thought I was boring). ?

Just had a cheese and coleslaw doorstep

A coleslaw doorstep? I hope you wiped the mayonnaise off your feet when you came in...

We've been out for a potter round town and some shopping, and had lunch, and in a while I'm going to set to and make a dress out of carrier bags.
