Morning all, sunny day here at the moment . Dog to be walked shortly with a cafe stop for coffee. Then a little later I am off to the new White Hart Lane stadium with my son to watch the first test game between Spurs u18 v Southampton u18. We are going to get there early to have a good look around and sample the bars which look numerous. A pie and a pint for £5 is the offer today.

I was actually here just after 5am but couldn't be a***d posting. Lol.

6 mile jog done, bath had and just finished my Weetabix.

Sorry, change of plan.

Good morning, breakfast eaten, a line of washing out and we are now waiting for son and Granddaughter to arrive, this afternoon I've got the garden to sort out.

Morning folks. Sunny and windy here; possibly gales yet again later today.

Feeling drained after yesterday's ride. I was exhausted so thought I'd sleep well but various aches and pains gave me a disturbed night. No plans for today other than walking the dog.

Yesterday's ride - 128 miles with 4,700ft of ascent. My underpants are sticking to my saddle sores now

That is some ride. I take my hat off to you.
I will avoid saddle sores today by sticking to my 10-12 miler

Sounds sensible! Afraid I've still never managed a century and honestly can't see me bothering either. Lol.

No, we visited our eldest yesterday, our youngest is here today and the step daughter will be here later, the stepson will be here tomorrow.

Well done, that's an epic ride.

I last did a century ride in 2014, that year I did a forum ride, a 108 mile fixed wheel ride, and the following Saturday I did an audax, a 100 mile ride that took us down into the cotswolds.

A proper pie?
None of yer 'chunky soup in a bowl with a pastry lid' I hope!

I think it's morning
