I was a bit worried when I got there that it was full of shaven headed louts, but then I realised with my new phil mitchell haircut I'd fit right in. They all left when the match finished. The Arse losing to a team I've never heard of. Shakatak or something.
The beer was really nice but I have a headache this morning. The ride was good, except I was busy smoking a roadie who was sucking my wheel, and just getting fast enough to drop him when there was a little hill and I had to maintain my speed all the way up it, whilst still sitting down and whistling and not looking like I was making any effort at all. Which was a bit difficult. Me and small hills have history, but you can't look like you are trying, it spoils the effect.
The company was lovely as always. I would have been there earlier but Bobbinbird was ill so I had to sort out food and things before I left. but it did mean I got to ride instead of take the bus.
