A sterling performance in the sack usually helps, proving the benefits of cycling-related performance enhancement.

Yes but this might leave me to exhausted to cycle and I can't have that ;)

Maybe you're spinning too much, and need to start grinding a bit?

a bunch of flowers works every time.... (send it to her work place)

ahh fuck. This definitely isn't going to happen for me. Apparently it's fathers day or some bollox on Saturday and my wife has conveniently invited my dad down for lunch now. I am getting flak from both sides and I am going to have to bail :(
Have a great ride everyone

it's fathers day on sunday. tell her. tell her THAT.

yup, fathers day SUNDAY!!
you tell her that!!

So I did my route yesterday (originally aimed to go on jonny's route) but then got really lost and added lots of ks onto it.
stats:
130ish km
time taken just over 5 hours from 2.
Liquid taken in 4l, total urine produced nothing.
Spent half an hour at one pub though.

No wee! scary! Hope its not hot on saturday...

Yep, on the cambridge ride, I didn't piss until we got to cambridge station at the end of night!

Trouble is my Dad doesn't live in London and hes coming down on Saturday for some stuff so its kind of like kill 2 birds with one stone, or three in this case including my ride :(

Its just not worth my while to persist with this one unfortunately. I will be back for the next ones for sure. Hopefully on my new bike which is slowly being put together in my office.

If she were to get wind of this bike I would be for the high jump for sure!

I'd've been well up for this if I wasn't unfit at the mo - being bikeless for a month has fucked me

Could've stayed at my folks in Oxford too, oh well

What' the route then Jonny? Give or take the M40, along the Thames, High Wycombe come in via Headington?

Hot? Pfft.

Yeah, hot, like yesterday. It was a scorcher. I wouldn't ride for a long time in sun, I am seriously moley. You as an aussie should know about staying out of the sun. So ner.

Yeah I do.. and yesterday wasn't hot. Mid-20's is not hot. Mid-30's I'll give you but not 25.
I will probably be dying of skin cancer in a few years though. I've had more sun exposure than Mercury..

Jesus! You sure you're not Scottish??

Hang on a cotton picking minute... 25 may not be hot for Aus, but it is for here! I'm thinking of moving further north when I get the chance. Maybe Finland.

He has Scottish roots. There's a lot of us aboot.

he said "roots"!

I might do this but on gears. I don't want to be riding fixed a couple of weeks before L2P. Any objections? It will also depend on how I feel Sat.
My legs have been pretty tired since Archer/Wessex/Chiltern
