I was out on my bike early this morning when something flew into my mouth.  I crunched down on it before I had chance to spit it out, but I think it was a medium-sized fly or mosquito. Anyway. The taste it left in my mouth was actually quite nice, sort of sweet and sugary. Is this normal, or should I keep my perverse fly-crunching habits to myself in future?

Was this on the roads around Hathersage and Grindleford yesterday, and was it a bright pink bike?

Yeah, and I know who she is now too! Apparently she works at the Hallamshire and knows some friends of mine, its a small world so I better be careful who I ogle in future, or at least who I admit to ogling!

Sundays Ride: how about 9.30 at the Whirlow Hall Crescent bus stop layby?

3 hour ride maybe involving a cafe and a cup of tea and then home in time for lunch?

I'll pm Percy and FK my mobile, Fatdoc should have it already. Actually, I'll send it to Fatdoc again anyway.

Maybe head down south so should be a tailwind home according to current forecast.

Tim

ah, that explains my PM to you Tim... sorry mate, cant go... arse.

bloody hell.

i get like 4 hrs a week max at the mo to get on a bike, of either variety.. each time it's playtime it's either blowing a gale or pissing it down.

Last night looked soo good for night riding... gutted.

i need some luck.

[tlr]

I'd have to agree, tomorrow mornings ride doesn't look very enticing....

I'll see what the weather is like in the morning.

I'm staying in bed tomorrow morning! In the immortal words of Fatdoc, "I don't fancy getting blown off in a hedge..."!

Any of you leg-shavers partake in triathlons? Not a hobby of mine but was thinkng about giving it a whiz.

gosh... it's a bit gusty 

hmm.... think i'll try to spneek out to minus ten instead!

[fatkid2000]

Too windy for my liking unless we want to do fatdoc impressions of being blown into a hedge. Anybody going out in the evenings this week, maybe the weather may improve.

I've thought about it, but the thought of going to swim in some freezing cold lake or polluted river really has put me off.

[Percy B]

It has crossed my mind too, but the swimming and running bit puts me off
More than owt else, I swim like a scrawny climber - ie: I don't seem particularly bouyant, so most of my swimming energy goes into staying afloat rather than moving forward through the water!

just pootled around the singletrack in Graves park for 45mins.... goddamn thats windy!!

I found a couple of contenders and just had a couple of hours round Strines; thought it might be a bit more sheltered over there in the lanes and there are still some short steep bits. Wasn't too bad actually, but I wouldn't really have wanted to do 3 or 4 hours of it.

Hagg Lane into a headwind on the way back was awkward.

Unfortunately I didn't get blown off in a hedge - I'll have to put in a special request when the wife gets home.

Bacon sandwich and Grand Prix now.

[chappers]

fucking windy out there boys. did 60 miles over the trough of bowland, nails. terrible head winds back down the a6 back into preston. getting over a cold which didnt help!

I thought Tim would get out, being abit more hardcore than the rest of us. I went running almost ending up flat on my face up near Stanage pole. Hagg Lane is a pain in the arse at the best of times.. usually due to the the 4WD driving ladies that lunch driving their kids around or some lunatic in a white van. Sorry to stereotype but whenever I cut up Hagg Lane on the way home there's ALWAYS some kind of incident.

Like webbo, I competed in tri comps at a respectable level some years ago, gave it up after university, but now enjoying training and competing at a less impressive standard.

Triathlon is the sport of champions... or lunatics, depending on how you look at it. 

[webbo]

triathlon its self can cause angst re how far do you shave or it did when the fashion was do the whole race in your speedos.the hairy shorts look conbined with said speedos was a sight only fit for late night fetish programmes.

Ha ha! 

There's a certain advantage in being a meticulously epilated lady where these things are concerned!

[webbo]

my mum once bought me one of those epilaty things.fuck me those things must be illegal under the geneva convention.

I did my first triathlon this year. It's for lunatics IMHO

And my first fell run last week. That's for lunatics too 

Saw some roadies on their bikes yesterday. I'm not that mad
