Can you just go forward and tell him you're available for pedalling if needed?

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad day
I should have realised my back tyre lack of tread should have meant replace, Mhor!..I'll do it on pay day..I thought..
3 ml out from home, air coming out many wee bits...(newly laid road with yon tar and wee sharp stones)

New tyre now fitted..

BUT a good afternoon to all the Tealandia regulars

 

[Ansome]

I think I'd go to the doctor and not fit a new tyre to my bike if air was coming out of my wee bits. Different upalong maybe.

Afternoon Bob. Everyone. . You should always be careful bob, whether air is coming out of your wee bits or your big bits. It could be embarassing to say the least.

Afternoon to the rest of you reprebates. Il'll ignore the gang of three as per usual, mainly because they talk cr@p most of the time.

Have a safe journey home Mikey, with tea of course . Hope your tyres ok now bob. And hello to classic, saluki, scotialass and anyone else.

Its hot here again. Around 26 deg C. Have a good afternoon and evening peeps.

Edit. I should call them the three stooges. Very apt name for those three.

Thank you Ms for not referring to me as a reprobate
As they say up here
'Where ever you may be
Let your wind blow free'

Sounds like the mountaineering took a bit of a toll on your legs. One of the guys I cycle with goes to the lake district normally a couple of time a year walking. He is a pretty fit guy, but always says he struggles a bit for a few rides when he comes back. Alternative muscle pains he says, I can understand where he is coming from as you are obviously straining different muscle groups.

 

[Ansome]

It may be the straining of unusual muscle groups that accounts for air leakage as well. Time before watershed does not permit me to make further comment on how re-inflation may be achieved.

You on another voyager?

Yep, another 5 car. This train is going to terminate at Bristol instead of Plymouth now.

They used to have a lot of problems with engines reverting to idle and losing power. I am sure they got that issue sorted and have been having a lot more reliability over the last few years. A 5 car with 4 engines powering is still pretty good on getting up to speed on of their lads told me. The 5 car versions are a fair bit heavier per carriage than the 4 car carriages.
The hot weather has been causing a fair few of our engines to start reverting to idle and then you end up losing time.
