Cool

Good morning everyone from soggy Saltash. Fair amount of the wet stuff fell in the might.

Essential shopping today. Taking the Bear to Tesco’s in Callington. Gives her a good run.

LOl My missus says I'm full of Sh... New Virgin Hub router arrived & up & running!. We've been having trouble with the Wi-Fi for ages here with it constantly dropping out every few minutes Our daughter who has been working from home said it's useless & went back to her works office


We had a older router which couldn't update over the air or something I dunno! my hearing is pants on the phone so they sent out an up to date one. Everything's working OK so hopefully it's cured the problem.
Bleddy wind has blown me Brussels sprout plant over

Morning all - mixture of sun and light cloud here - but a VERY strong wind - there's wheelie bins flying all over the place. I'm going to have to pluck up courage this morning. As the garage tidy up progresses, I now need to delve into the darkest corners - wherein lurk giant, man-eating spiders

Then near Hillingdon Hospital the "piece de resistance" 100 psi front tire deflated in 2 seconds flat. Found some shade, changed tube, refitted tire, could only manage to put 50 psi back in with mickey mouse pump. Leisurely wander home. 14 miles in total

Still 21 stone fat bar steward. Minimal beer, glass of wine with dinner. Pints of water. Walk most days with SWMBO (occasionly). Must loose some soon!!!!
Good morning all and good morning Peter. That is quite a ride you had 14 miles. Bad luck about the puncture and the ballast! Keep on cycling You are doing well being able to get out and walk most days.

I do remember the Polish War Memorial incident, October 17, 2017 when Ed's cruise control would not disengage and his brakes failed. For those who don't know, we were driving along the A40 towards London at around 9pm when an RTA blocked the road ahead of us. I was in the front passenger seat and Ed (Rover54) was driving. Cut a long story short, Ed's fantastic and skilful driving managed to scrape us through a gap in the road between the smashed up trucks and cars. A police officer had to jump out of the way to stop being knocked down. He did not hang around for very long and chased us for 1 - 2 miles down the road. Ed was later directed to pull off the A.40 at the Polish War Memorial where Peter very kindly gave me a lift to my home in North London. Ed went into shock and an ambulance took him to hospital for a check up and treatment. He was released in the early hours of the morning. The fault was down to a corroded pipe and not driver error.

Good morning Fred, do you ever use a GoPro on your bike rides?

Here is a rider in the link below, using a GoPro on his bike in the Red Bull Rampage 2019.....acknowledgement to Jeff
