Winter is on its way I think but I have been working in a bike shop most of the day. Eyeing up the electricory bikes. 😉
Expecting something from Santa?

You have to be a good lad for that Matt ? (hope so)Expecting something from Santa?
A plastic Zebra! Just what you'd expect to see. You didn't photoshop it in afterwards to see if we were paying attention?
Out to see the Tour of Britain on Saturday. I cycled to the start and spent a good half hour wandering around the team buses, mingling with the riders.
I then rode up to one of the KOM climbs at Bank Hill, Woodborough to see the riders come through. .
Dropped down into the village for a quick cuppa then ride home for a total of 34 miles.
Yes, I have been reading about it in the local press - a lot of people are apparently disgruntled because of the traffic disruption it will cause! 🙄 Personally, I think it will be fantastic! 🙂 I'm afraid I'm far too selfishly protective about my personal space to allow strangers into it though 😱 I did once meet a Scouser window cleaner when I was in Prague - one of the reasons he was on holiday there was that he let his house out to golf fans for the Open at Royal Birkdale (in 1998) - apparently he made quite a killing from some wealthy Yanks! 🙂The UCI World Road Championships are on at the moment in Innsbruck. Next year they're in Harrogate. A chance for you @Northerner to see a weeks worth of cycling right on your doorstep. Let out your spare rooms, camping in the garden?
@Matt Cycle – you've really got it nailed, your levels are so constant. Well done you. And the scenery you encounter is simply glorious. I'm quite envious.
Well I (literally) dusted off the ol' bike yesterday, blew up the tyres and set off on my first ride in a long time. Very enjoyable. I have no idea how far, how fast or how long (in comparison to you guys = not very) but it was very enjoyable with the evening sun and a warm breeze.
I haver to say tho, my nether-regions don't half hurt today! 😱
