Never! No way! I don't believe it!

Just looked at tomorrow's weather forecast. I have a tail wind on the way to work. And then... the wind TURNS AROUND and I have a tail wind home! Whoop!!!! Please please please let the weather man be right for once. This never happens in real life!

too windy :( and bad news :(

Downloaded some new toooooons onto my ipod which inspired me to get back on the bike after a week off because the winds were too strong. 25mph winds is just fecking ridiculous!
My blog follower Red Bikes has had a collision with a car apparently. Heard it from a cycle forum. Don't know how to get in touch except through the forum. Hope he's ok
:(

The cupboards are bare...

Well, they are in our restuarant at work now. All day I've been munching! Even the woman behind the till said "I've seen a lot of you today". It wasn't even a hard ride in, but for some reason I was feeling faint when I got there and then just ate and ate and ate. I'm like the hungry caterpillar!

That's why they call it Crawleyside

...because you have to crawl up it!

19th, 20th and 21st June I played Support Driver to Richard, Dave, Phil, Martin, Mahendra, Andy, Mike and Paul while they did the Coast to Coast from Whitehaven to Sunderland. Had a great laugh and, I have to say, it was quite refreshing to be in the support car rather than slogging it out on the bike.

And slog it out they did! Hartside and Crawleyside... I'm surprised that Sputnik (my very old VW polo) managed to get up there so I felt well sorry for guys. Suckers! LOL. Crawleyside, in particular, looked like a brick wall ha ha.

Want to give up my job now and do support driving for a living! Not sure I'll be too rich though!

Didn't do much cycling myself last week but made up for by 110 miles since Saturday.

How Much?????

Blimey. It costs more to have my bike serviced that my car...
bottom bracket, cassette, chain, bla bla bla... all blurred into one after that!!!

I feel the need....

... the need for speed! Top Gun eat your heart out!
Took a ride out to Upton today with my mate and on the way back we took a detour past an old airfield where they were holding a "help for heroes" fundraiser.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH
Fighter jets flew over our heads, corkscrewing. Looked and sounded amazing!
Can fully recommend sitting by the river eating BLT and chips too! Great day, really hot and then got home about an hour before the monsoon started! Another 46 miles on the clock.

on a roll...

Going up a hill today and some hot fitty hung out his works van and gave me a cheeky wink and a smile and "keep going luv, you're almost there". Two in the space of a week? My ass must be looking a lot better (",) Made me laugh and almost lose my rythym!
Another 38 on the clock today ... bad weather forced me to get the train half way back. They mentioned the light rain on the forecast but not the gale force winds!
