TFA.
Sat : 200km bike ride followed by lying on the sofa eating cake.
Sun : Probably not much, possibly a short ride to stretch the legs. Otherwise working out what needs doing to get the garage boarded out internally to make it more habitable for using the turbo trainer etc."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife. -

Bike ride for me too, though not 200 KM (crikey!). More like 60.
Some contractors here may be enjoying a long weekend. Clientco has awarded any contractor with over a year's "service" a free day off.
EDIT: Oh, and watching the rugby, as long as it's on proper telly.Comment

Got a new old-stock trapezoid tail-piece for my Rickenbacker 360-12 to replace the tacky 'R' one, new set of strings, they are a bastard to change on the 12-string headstock, and I am a notorious string snapper on replacement (never when playing though).Comment

The garage is still bare brick walls and concrete floor atm. Looking at blocking off the main door and boarding it out inside to insulate it and keep the dust out, turning it into a proper home gym / bike workshop."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Is your concrete floor sealed? A guy here has major condensation issues with his garage.
Does it sound like I know what I'm talking about? (I don't).Comment
