Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I have just ordered a Marathon greenguard tyre for my bike as it has reached the end of its life and I keep getting visits from the P fairy. Should be here by Wednesday I think.

If I like it, I will get another one for the front.

Your roads look in better condition than ours, so pretty sure they will be better than the Kendas you've been using.

Morning all...A fairly normal night's sleep here with Alan 🐶 tossing and turning, under the duvet, over the duvet, under the duvet, over the duvet, waking me up each time he moved 😠

I know I'm allowed out a bit move as from today, but I think I'll just do what I've been doing and go out very cautiously. I've a gut feeling that I don't trust this government 🤔 ....enjoy your day peeps! 🌈

Good day. Sun is doing sun stuff. It's deliciously cool and fresh this morning. I suspect flags will be cracking by lunchtime.

Watched Billy Elliot again last night. A lovely film. This meant it was 12.30am before we got to bed. Woke at 06.45, went downstairs and discovered it was really 05.45!! 😩

Checked my tubeless tyres on Saturday and texted picture of the "damaged" area to LBS. Text came back "Old school would superglue that." Then a bit later "Are those the original tyres from when we supplied? Have you considered you might have worn them out?"

I inspected again. Yep on even closer inspection tyres are worn, badly. When I get to the LBS the comment will be "Are you taking the piss?" I always get this when I've ridden something like pass, tyres etc. well beyond their useable life!!!! 😂

My LBS are brilliant. I've been going for 25+ years. They are pulled out in every direction, no bikes left to sell, week's wait for servicing, etc. They have the tyres and told me to be there at 09.00 this morning. Can't ask for more. Loyalty always repays you. These are tubeless tyres, pointless me even starting the job.

ALDI is across the road so it's two birds and one stone.

It feels good to once more be able to say 'just back from a short and slow 4 mile run.'
Enjoyed the warmth of the weather, the cool shade through the woods and even the struggling up the little inclines. Managed to steer clear of folks ... but that's nowt new. ;)

There are a couple of male pheasants having a go at each other in the garden.

Handbags at dawn sort of thing. :laugh:

Similar situation here Ian, decided to head out for the local trailway as it's nice and shady (part of the old Somerset and Dorset railway line) I ran for an hour just enjoying the glorious weather and listening to the birdsong. 👍
