Morning all, no swim today as the dreaded vertigo is still enjoying being part of me.

That's one sport/hobby that I don't enjoy. I can barely swim and am a bit scared of water to be honest.

We are in for a day of rain but the rest of the week is looking decent.

I cannot say I like swimming, but I do like the feeling after a swim and the benefits of gives me.

I know what you mean.........after a hard run or cycle it must be bliss to do a few relaxing lengths of a pool in the warm water with no real strain on the body.

I normally do at least 80 lengths 4 times a week, it can be a strain on the shoulders, but way different from a hard run or ride, it is getting the brain in the right place is the problem as any negative thoughts seem to magnify when I swim.

Go back to bed it is way to early for you to be up and about.

Morning all. Taking Mrs GM up town this morning, she has a dental appointment, one wisdom tooth to come out. While she's in there I'll be looking around the bike shops, quite fancy a new one.

Ooooo. Love hearing about new bikes. Any idea what you are after or just having a browse?

Hello! Woke at 3.00 to pouring rain and strong winds. Ride cancelled I thought. Back to sleep till 7.15 and we have a brightish, calm day and 16C. Ride on.

We've gone a bit retro with our rides. Yesterday was roads I hadn't been on in 2-3 years. Today is a cafe I haven't been to in possibly 4 years
