How kind of you to ask.
My plan was to visit Ma on Saturday then do something nice and outdoorsy on Sunday but given the weather forecast Ma may get bumped 24 hours.
That'll mean on Saturday either a bike ride or further futile attempts to surf.
Also I've a provisional booking on a holiday that lapses on Sunday. Hence I've a little over 24 hours to convince wifey that cycling in the Netherlands/Belgium is a great idea to spend a week this summer.

Cheers, currently on a train (1st class natch) to Hamburg to funk my way through the Reeperbahn (although I might do some other cultural activities as well). Scouse at the Old Commercial Rooms this evening...

Not much apart from Sunday's bicycle jaunt.Originally posted by MyUserName View Post
You?
Will probably parkrun tomorrow, but give BMF a miss. Might take the opportunity for a bit of parkrun tourism - Alice Holt has some nice hills to run up and down
Still considering changing tyres - currently on quite chunky ones, considering a swap to something a bit quicker and puncture proof, so that might be a job for Saturday afternoon.

Ta for asking,
Child free weekend, so the pub will be visited and I have a little technical reading to do.
Other than that, the usual drinking coffee and pondering.

So a whole £10. feck off.Originally posted by Dallas View PostGood luck on the bike ride!! If brillo punctures, charge him a day rate to fix it - that was my plan anyway
Originally posted by Dallas View PostIts a cr@p bike, dump it and make him run, he has bionic knees anyway so its practically cheating, plus he wants to do the ultras so you'd be doing him a favour!
This forum is not for the truth.
On Saturday I have a swimming lesson. Then taking twins out for dinner.

Thanks for asking!
Continue with Focus T25 tonight and pad out my helmet (not a euphemism, I need to put more padding in my salet) for a big battle coming up. It is a 1471 one so lots and lots of armour to survive the second rank without a trip to A&E.
Tomorrow:
Take kids to a school fete, chill in the evening with Mrs MUN.
Sunday:
Church to babysit and day dream through the service. May take takes to a play park or something in the afternoon, might invite relatives to join us too and have a picnic or something.
You?
