How very strange !
When I got my second AZ it was clear from the busy activity around the cycle racks that many were cycling in for it.
Got my jabs in Citywest Centre ( a big complex a few miles out of Dublin ) its a conference centre with very large car parks , I rode back roads through Newcastle and Saggart to get to it .

If you think that’s bad, don’t ever take a holiday on a traditional narrow boat :wacko:
TBH - if the doorways were lower they would be safer for me. 5' 6" would be so obviously low that they probably wouldn't catch me out. These doorways are 5'10 - 6'0 high so I am smacking everywhere from my forehead to the top of my head.

Anyway, it is sunny here today and we are about to go for a quick tour of the local lanes to explore. For once, I won't plot a route - we will ride out for a while then simply follow the tracklog back.

I had a friend with a Folkboat and all crew suffered from "Folkboat Stoop". Right hand on forehead from bumping low beams and left hand on small of back from being stooped all the time in the cabin.

Had my visit with the orthopedics and learned I must keep my fingers taped to an Al splint until 7/2 at the least. No biking until then. Lots of rain last night and early this morning which we have needed badly. There will be a mow when it dries out a bit. Picked a quart of snow peas last night and there will be another tomorrow. The rabbit continues to crop my beans and the splint makes my markmanship with my slingshot even worse. My neighbor loaned me a CO2 BB pistol he takes camping in case of rattlesnakes, so maybe I can slay the ravening beast with that.

What helmet for...




... 400 year old cottages in Devon!!!

I am in danger of killing myself in this place. I have been here less than 24 hours but I have already smacked my head into low-flying doorways 6 or 7 times! :wacko:

I'm being slightly jokey about it, but it is a real worry. Warfarin makes me about 2.5 times more likely to suffer a brain bleed from a head injury.

It is SO quiet here... I woke up in the middle of the night and was disturbed by a strange... silence!
Something along these lines maybe
