Nice ride to Ellesmere boathouse today. Only spoilt by my chain jumping rings stopping dead and me face planting into the road.

Broken teeth, smashed up face, bloodied knees, hands, elbows and a suspected fractured hand. Should have stayed in bed.

In other news, the bike is fine

If you key in 111 or type "emergency dentists" with your postcode you should get lots of options.
All the best with that.
PS
Hope all is well but if you decide to give up cycling, what size frame is the bike

Terrible news. Hope you feel better soon.

Start looking online, at one's you could only dream of owning. Feed drip the hints.

That went a bit wrong

Yes, it went wrong - 32 shots on target and only one goal. First time we've lost when we scored first as well. That's in the past now and there's nothing we can do to change it. Looking forward to the Brentford game on Monday when everything could change again. What a season!

I posted a while ago that Mrs D and I got some sort of virus thingymajig that refuses to leave us alone.
I am ready for a 10 miler but started feeling weak and shaky (and clammy).
I am now sat having an energy drink in the hope it will make me feel better.
I will report back

A couple of pics from Thursday's ride.


Horkstow Bridge over the River Ancholme. The western approach is unmetalled for the last half mile or so and the eastern approach has a barrier to stop vehicles so this is a wonderfully traffic free spot for a bike ride. Recommended if you find yourself in North Lincs.


Hairy coos plodging at North Cave wetlands. Another beautiful spot I'd never visited before. Was overjoyed to find a burger van parked there in what was otherwise a food desert. Next opportunity for food would be York, around 20 miles away so two fried egg and mushroom butties with a mug of coffee for £3.80 were just what I needed to keep the ride going.

Well?

Give me a chance
Right.. ... I am off for a 10 mile trundle with Mrs Ds voice ringing in my ear that I am not being sensible.
The thing is she is probably right

Highest "hit" is usually within the first 10 minutes after drinking though. This is over 20 minutes over that.
