Check the code on the bottom of the bottle to see when it was made, and if it tallies with the date(s) on the label.

Good grief. This cycling business is meant to be fun. Tough ride today.

Got up to the top road and bang the easterly is 25+ mph, plan for the beautiful route to Edgworth abandoned. Decided to head north-west to Preston, grab a bit of a tail wind and then dive in to the lanes to make a big sheltered circle home. Not a chance. Blustery, swirling headwind all the way, lots of bike wobble as the wind whipped though gaps in the hedgerow. Officially nackered.

32 miles. 14.6avg.

is needed.

I eventually mustered the enthusiasm for a spin. 45 quite hilly miles done so quite happy with that. It's really quite chilly up here.

I felt like it was mostly a head wind today too, although it was maybe just the way I was feeling!

You'll get a tailwind, one day!

Long walk around to the village to pick up a loaf and a paper.
Witnessed an old fella - must've been over 80 - effing and blinding at the shop assistants, because they had to tell him 3 times to wait outside until another customer left the premises. He got up close and personal with this other guy and was swearing in his face. The other guy showed a lot more restraint than I would have!
It all ended well anyway .......... he got banned from the shop by the manager.

On a lighter note.....the Tarka Trail was deserted.

Good ride today Mo. It was tough and 45 miles is heroic, once I was on 25 I started heading for home to get a 30+.

👏

I’m over a stone too bloody heavy just now. Just can’t seem to get the eating under control. I would enjoy the bike more if I lost it.

The only date I can find is 1769, I take it's not the sell by date

Doggie walk done.
Time for an afternoon nap.

30-35 miles a day for a month will sort that out. Don't forget some rest days as well.

It's still looks like I'll be stuck indoors

I think I'll need to do that for 2 months then!

Afternoon all . It’s a bit chilly here in the normally tropical midlands lol . My wife is off work today so we were going to have a little potter on our bikes together. The spanner in the works is not the change in the weather, it’s the the fact I seem to have a tummy bug this morning . It’s no good being 20 miles from home when you can’t go 20 meters away from the loo lol . Feeling a little better now, but think both cycling and eating will have to wait until tomorrow 😂😀
