Only managed the first leg in the end, the heat on Saturday was ridiculous, hit 40 deg at one point according to the Garmin and was well over 25+ for much of the ride. Got back to the ride HQ just before Midnight, managed to get a few hours kip but woke up feeling dreadful, couldn't concentrate, no-energy, no appetite, forced down a bowl of rice crisps and felt sick afterwards.Originally posted by DaveB View PostDrive up to Mytholmroyd tonight for an early start tomorrow on the 3 Coasts 600 Audax ride.
Sat/Sun on the bike followed by lying on the sofa eating all the cake.
Ended up bailing from the ride and dozing for a couple more hours until I felt well enough to drive home.
My first DNF on a big ride

Currently working, since 5:30 this morning until about 15:00
Quick visit to see a lot of Heckflosse in the town center (they all arrived yesterday):

Then the Scottish Festival in town where whisky might be taken...
A quiet relaxing Sunday in the sun will follow

Thank you for asking.
Tonight - hit the beach.
Tomorrow - some ridiculous end of school year party that was meant to be a few drinks but is now turning into a 'secular coming of age ceremony' for kids who didn't do first communion this year
- what is the point of bring irreligious and going to a secular school if someone is going to pull a stunt like this? But too late to pull out now; so a lot of drinks.
Sunday - take the family into Dublin to see some friends and go for pizza.

With the temperatures rounding 40º C I think I'm going to put my nose outside only at night and enjoy very cold drinks.
