I know that correlation is not causation, but I recall Welshie mentioning a few days ago that Mr WD had got his chopper out. Now we hear that he’s got a bad back. 😉

Thanks for your kind thoughts. Just heard from the Nurse Practioner for the cancer doc and the MRI showed zero cancer! That is a load of worry gone fer sure.
My trial ride seems ok so I will take a longer one in a few minutes. If that goes well and nothing else happens I might be normal (normal for me, that is) by weekend.

How'd the tricycle ride go?Well, it is obvious what represents the Suez canal and the mega container ship. The bad news is that you are the guy with the JCB...
All of my digital devices sorted themselves out but I have 2 clocks downstairs which needed to be done manually.
Last night I was doing my usual trick of starting to watch TV at gone 02:00 but forgot which way the clocks were changing and that it was actually about 03:15. That meant it was 04:15 when the first programme finished. I was about to start watching the next episode when I noticed the correct time on my Freesat box. I gave up and went to bed. I got to sleep about 05:00 BST. I had intended to sleep in but bubble pal suddenly appeared with a mug of tea for me. I had forgotten she was here. It worries me that my hearing is so poor that she can roam about 3 floors of this house but I don't notice until she actually walks into my room!
While I was asleep I had a bizarre dream. There was no pandemic to worry about and I had signed up for a mystery cycling event. It turned out that we all had to cycle from Todmorden to Coventry via the Peak District, about 240 very hillymileskms. Without stopping...
... ON CHILDREN'S TRICYCLES!!!
I was apoplectic with rage when this was announced. What a totally pathetic idea!
The ridiculous thing was that realised that I was dreaming but could not break out of it! I was ranting to imaginary people about wasting an imaginary £50 on an imaginary cycling event...
Big veggie curry day today. I saw the forecast so I walked to Aldi for supplies last night. It will take a couple of hours to cook but I will get 6 good portions from it. That is 2 weekend meals with my pal and 2 solo mid-week meals for me.
I suppose I ought to get up. It is nearly midday and I have had... 5 hours sleep!

I did a short evening ride to try out my best bike. It was nice riding that again after a 5 month layoff. It was also nice being able to ride in sunshine at 18:30!
I included one of the 2 little hills that I normally do on my singlespeed bike. There is a steepish little descent off that hill which has had an appalling surface for several years now but they are finally resurfacing it. Only about 1/3 of the work has been finished but the absence of potholes, ruts and gravel made that section so much safer and nicer. They should have finished the rest of it in the next couple of days. Hoorah!
I then went off and did the local Woodhouse climb again, the one with a steep ramp which nearly killed me on singlespeed a few days ago. I selected a gear which was easier than the singlespeed's 52/19, but not easy - 36/19. I would have normally used my 36/27 or even 36/30 but I wanted it still to be a challenge, just not a challenge which reduced me to walking! I took advantage of a lack of traffic to zigzag up the steep ramp to make it slightly easier. There was much less wind when I turned right at the top this time so that made the exposed climb much easier, and I freewheeled down from the summit 10-15 kph faster than last time too.
That looks like a big frame!

Presumably you do have the height for it though... ?
That looks like a big frame!I dreamt that I had not done it and I woke up to find that it was true that I hadn't!

My little ride went well. How sweet it is to ride a beloved bike again. As far as nuns' underwear go, I've heard it said you can kiss a nun once, maybe even twice, but don't get into the habit.

Looks like someone forgot to switch their GPS off after the ride...

Thought of that, but it States "Moving Time". Suggesting that it hasn't counted time spent stationary.Looks like someone forgot to switch their GPS off after the ride...

Sometimes, my stationary GPS thinks it is moving due to GPS satellite reception 'jitter'. I left it running in my back yard to test battery life and its tracklog looked like the device had been wandering about randomly a few metres back and forth!
