i did 26 miles earlier at 5pm.. I am on recovery time now, beside, I don't do night riding, the wolf might get me.

You have many wolves out, letalone cycling, round near you?

Yeh the hills are full of them, and bears too and don't mention the sheep, they are the worse, they don't understand the Highway Code and walk on the roads as if they owned them. Better off in bed at this time of night, at least I can reflect on my ride, it might send me to sleep.

Ewe could be right about those sheep though,

Morning. I wasn't feeling great after yesterday's ride. I struggle in this humid heat so couldn't shake off a headache even after having loads to drink so cleared off to bed not long after 9pm. Didn't sleep much but just nice to get the eyes shut. Warm again already. I will have a walk while it's reasonably cool outside. If I do ride today it will be short and slow.

I have risen!

Managed to sleep ok despite the heat. Planning on not moving around much today.

I have just risen too ,bit later than intended ,I think due too very hot 100 K yesterday. Now mug of strong tea and then atack the jungle that is the end of my garden.

Good morning fellow retirees,

Struggled on my run yesterday evening, only managed one lap of the lake, but that gave me more time to play with my granddaughter 😁❤️
I think that tolerance to the heat must diminish with age, it's easier to cope with the cold.
Looks like another scorcher with 28 degrees here on the South Coast 🌞🌞 Scorchio🌞
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏃🚲🚶🍺

Good morning. It's a beautiful morning, 19C outside but a deliciously cool 16C indoors. Our forecast ranges from 24C at 10.00 to 28C at 4.00pm - that's OK.

Slept well last night but up three times for a pee, lots of water yesterday and getting old.

The calf seems to have recovered. A very gentle ride on Monday and had no feeling while riding or the last two days resting. Meeting the guys and gals at 9.00. Sun barrier on!

Did our third hedgehog release last night. "Glassy" had gone in about five minutes.

Good morning. Already 21 Deg inside my house. I have all the doors and windows open already. A day for doing anything very slowly I think.

Have a good day and stay safe folks.

Morning all, 13 degrees and misty at the moment, forecast to climb to 25 degrees once the sun comes out. Yesterday we had a lovely balmy evening but I do find it hard to sleep going to bed when it’s still 20 degrees. Grateful for this morning’s coolness.

What a night that was!!!! Soooo hot.
Like PaulSB our house walls are very thick/solid so the lounge never gets overly hot but the bedroom does (Classic, thats weather type hot).
I seem to have got into a Mo type cycle where I wake up too early but then I am knackered by 20.30. Last night I stayed up to watch the footy plus interviews. Didn't wake till 06.45 today which was good.
Golf this morning which tbh I am not looking forward to. Also meeting a mate for a ride at 1300.....am I totally mad??
MrsD seems to be better after yesterdays upchucking so we may get that BBQ later.
Have a goid, safe day folk.

Morning all fellow retirees.
A hot sweaty night here, and already very warm. A nice cool shower when I arise.
