Tea? (Part 2)

Is that Blackpool?

Is that Blackpool?

It's the Eiffel Tower, not the Awful Tower!

They were still called marathons when he set out but snickers when he got there

You might well snicker rocky

3rd ride of the week done, getting betterer, 2.7 miles my furthest ever

Wow, almost as good as Arch's Nephew

You told me that you didn't watch Pro Cycling!

Froome proves that tall(ish) riders can still climb well as long as their power-to-weight ratio is excellent. I always thought the idea that climbers have to be tiny is nonsense because the weight of the bike is much more significant to a very light rider than to a bigger, stronger one.

I'm especially pleased because I am the same height as Froome! I do not intend to get as light as him again (I used to be even lighter) but I would climb pretty well even at a stone above his weight.

He may have done well, but on a bike, he still looks like a Daddy Long Legs trying to negotiate a light shade.

Been doing the touristy thing on the Seine.

Post us a picture from the top of the tower Jo.

I bet you would like to jump in that water to freshen up, but you would be in Seine to try it.

Anyway I'll be watching more athletics now I'm a runner

I run too, or used too.
Maybe we should meet up for a 100m sprint! See if I still have it in me.

It's not a pretty style, is it!

OK tea peeps, so due to the hot weather Lu and I haven't been interested in alcohol for a while (except for Lu that is, with her Mojitos). So, it's been cooler today and we decided to have a small glass of red with our steak. The small glass has turned into a whole bottle, and now we might be slightly squiffy, if not completely pished.

Cheers (hic)

We have more red, a bottle of fizz and loads of bacardi in the fridge, my plans for an early morning ride are vanishing fast.

How much head-start do I get?

 

[Lullabelle]

How much head-start do I get?

I bet I could kick both of your backsides

 

[Lullabelle]

Good for you two

Quality of life

I just need sleep

 

[Night Train]

How much head-start do I get?

I reckon I'm safe up to 150m, then you'll catch me at 200m and leave panting for breath, collapsed on the ground, and waving the white flag by 300m.


Edit: Oh, no hurdles though, I hurdle like a girl in a pencil skirt!

I was more of a distance runner at school, 800 metres. Never won anything, mind, but I could do the distance. Anyway, we are out, getting some culture, at a performance thing on Salford quays. It's actually cool and nice to be out in!
