Lol........I wish. Just a cycle I'm afraid. Furthest I've ever run was a marathon way back 20 years ago. Not sure I have another in me these days.

Thought you were going to enter a half soon?

What condition are the lakes in nowadays?

This is a picture of the Earlswood Lakes taken earlier this year, they've finished the maintenance and the water levels back to normal.

I got back about 2, put 61 miles under the wheels, it was harder on the way back than it was on the way out. It also warmed up a lot, I was in summer tights and a long sleeved summer jersey and had got too hot by the time I got home.

Bit of googling.

In 1943 Jim Wedge arrived at the bakery. He had been baking since the age of 12. The bakery was named Wedges and is still as popular now as it has ever been. The bakery still uses techniques employed by the original bakers to create the delicious baked goods you can buy today.

In the early 1970’s Jim sold Wedges to Tom Griffiths. The bakery then continued with Tom and his family until 2013 when it was acquired by Heptinstall Holdings.

I've used the one in Earlswood, both in the car and on the bike, we've used the one in Hockly Heath in the car, but haven't used the one in Solihull.

I've been to the one in Earlswood, but we generally tend to go to the Stables when we're in the area.

Is that the one with the riding school attached?

Do I dye my beard or not? I think not, but Mrs J says she didn't marry Uncle Albert.

Definitely...

What were you up to then?

Not much. Didnt sleep most of the night, then fell asleep around 5 am.

Bit mean pinching what was for the horses.

Just done the washing up while singing along to Jethro Tull. I expect a record deal any minute.
