    Thanks for asking

    Curry tonight, then Charing to Wye (8 miles) on the North Downs Way tomorrow before heading to Ghent on Sunday as its Mothering Sunday in Belgium.
    Hopefully back in time to see Blackpool thump Luton 1.0

    And you ?
    We got the Oystons out like we said we would

      It sounded like a very long time for you. The I saw 2.5 miles up and 2.5 miles down. A very impressive time.
      Thanks, and yeah, 11000 feet of climbing does tend to slow me down a bit, especially with a gammy leg and 30% gradients :P I recon I could knock a couple of hours off that if I do it again next year.

      Still not as fast as the mad ****er who finished first in around 5:45.

      Nothing to do with Triathlons though. Distance is just a coincidence.

      Next weekend is 400km around the wilds of Lincolnshire. Should be a bit faster on that one

        TFA:

        Taking BGG to a gamers fair, mostly to try out the Vive as he fancies one, but wants to have a try out before buying.

        Then continuation of the back pack project & some D&D and WoW


        Hope your weekend goes smoothly

          Can't make my mind up really ... either similar to what I had - old SL63 or reasonably recent 911 TTS or something in between, ruled out Ferraries...

            I expected that to be flat. Still seems like a mile up and down.....

              Everyone thinks Lincolnshire is flat, and bits of it are. I know, I've seen most of them from the top of the bloody hills. The big difference is the gradients, with the odd exception there is nothing really steeper than about 5% but it's rolling countryside and over that distance it adds up.

                Thank you for asking. Off to my nephew's first communion.

                Terrifying start to the weekend. Leaving a client site in a semi derelict former secure Victorian mental hospital I found myself locked in and it was tricky finding someone to let me out. Was a bit behind schedule to reach the train station and Google maps walking directions took me the long way round by Limerick Prison just as visiting time was finishing. I need a drink.

                I remember. The in-laws don't drink.
