OK who was out in a CC jersey just outside Debenham in Suffolk lunchtime Sunday?

I was in the group heading towards Debenham we had been on a weekend tour around Blaxhall and heading home, two tone blue West Kent CTC top and Specialized Tri-Cross fixedwheel. :smile:

:smile: DOH!
Hiya Rezillo that was our motley crew on our way back from Blaxhall, our planned pub in Debenham was closed down and none of the others had room for fourteen so we continued to Stoneham Aspell to the Ten Bells for lunch, a very good pub :angry:

After that we trundled South back to Manningtree via Claydon and Copdock, had a great time up there.
Cheers Steve

I'll put a link up to the photos once I have uploaded them.

Those struggling with the direction of headwinds might enjoy a little reading on apparent wind direction, available in sailing books nationwide. :sad:

I might have taken to listening to the shipping forcast :blush: I think its all in the mind really, its not been that windy, but as the nicer days come you (i) suddenly realise the weather can still be a bit fickle....gives me a bit of a monk on.

Arrived too early for work this morning, so off on the bike for a quick 10 miles round town. One of the guys saw me pass work twice !!! WTF were you doing ? he asked :ohmy:

Not quite the same I once managed to extract a loud "WHAT THE F***?!" from one guy after I overtook him for the 5th time :biggrin:. He was doing the direct route but I was looping off the direct route to get my miles in.

Total of 20 mies commuting today, very nice albeit a bit cold this morning.
Lost my Cateye rear light in traffic :sad: Its been playing up so i just rode on :blush:

Stopped at some TLs in town and there was a bunch of young workers advertising something or other with placards. The girl nearest me was laughing and joking with her colleagues on the other side of the road. I laughed as i went past and said its nice to see someone enjoying their job...and rode on. I did three loops and passed her three times. She looked the second time...and frowned confusedly the third time :biggrin:

Short commute today, dodged some extremely heavy rain this afternoon, heavy toolbox in my rucksack, hopelessly overloaded with all sorts of bits, net of oranges in one hand (no room in the rucksack)...still had to drive back to work for the laptop..(poor planning), off to Egypt tomorrow for a few days work. Shoulda took the car in the first place :rolleyes:
Weather looks rubbish this weekend, so i dont think i'll miss much cycling wise.

It caught me big time on my commute home. Massive cloudburst. It was as if cycling at night again it became that dark for a while... absolutely dripping wet by the time I got home. Saving grace was that it was not cold.

Lovely sunny ride on the new Bianchi, (first time in the dry!)but with a fearsome wind this am. Also tried out Lycra shorts (lidl specials) for the first time. V comfy!
Fifteen miles with steep hills taken carefully to avoid pinging my dodgy knee which held up ok. Just under an hour the round trip, I love this new bike!
 
Me and a club mate were a bit bored with the usual club run so we peeled of and went for a run to Innerleithen. It was very windy a bit changeable but was really fun and the Apple Turnover from a Innerliethen Bakery was great. At the end of the day I had ended up doing 68.1 miles. There was some great views although the hill weren't purple today.

Rode out to a 25 and then raced it. Started off in the rain and had a strong crosswind/headwind to contend with on the way out. Finished 2nd and under the hour. Not too bad at this point in the season.
