Greetings, pop pickers!




One week to go and we're on the final run down to go to the coveted LEL #1 worry but here are the official AUK chart positions for the top 10 subjects that seem to be causing you sleepless nights, ALL RIGHT???

10. On the way down, at the top of 10 and it’s that bubbly songstress Rhianna featuring Angstbremmer  with You Can Share My Nuttela. NOT ARF!

9. Another on the way down and we’re all glad of that, it’s beat combo The Controlers cover version of the Beatles classic Help.  ALL RIGHT??!!

8. A new entry last week but it’s a climber for sure from tunesmiths Crowded YHA with Weather With You

7. New in at number 7 and its The SimonP Orchestra and another cover version; this time it’s a Tom Waits classic Spare Parts

6. Another new entry from beatastic LEL Unlimited and RU Ready For This. RIGHT??

5.  On the way down but still hot and a previous Simple Minds poptastic smash, it’s Rider Number Unknown and (Don't you) Forget About Me

4. In and out of the top 10 like a crazy thing and it’s Various Artists with Do You Know The Way To (Lea Valley) YHA NOT ARF!!

3. It’s the final countdown and it is literally Europe with It’s The Final Countdown

2. Kept off the number one slot another week but let’s see what happens next Sunday but for now it’s at number two it’s iPhone and the PDAs with Chirpy Chirpy Tweet Tweet. ALL RIGHT??


But top of the heap.



You all love it.



It’s this weeks official number one fret.......


1. A re-release, this time a Motown classic all about bag drop induced fretting, it’s Martha Reeves and the Van Drivers with When Will I See You Again NOT ARF!!

And Toots and the Maytel's "Pressure Drop"

I was already singing that quietly to myself this morning before I opened this thread ;)

Short of actually mentioning all the controls it says it all.

Life, it's ever so strange
It's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out
Then BANG
Right out of the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course
And then you

Breakdown
Yeah you breakdown

Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared
Don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget it's just a ride

Truth, we don't wanna hear
It's too much to take
Don't like to feel out of control
So we make our plans
Ten times a day
And when they don't go
Our way we

Breakdown
Yeah we breakdown

Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared
Don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget it's just a ride

Slowly, oh so very slowly
Accept that
There's no getting off
So live it, just gotta go with it
Coz this ride's, never gonna stop


Breakdown
Don't you breakdown
No need to breakdown
No need at all
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared now
Dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget enjoy the ride

Damon.

I'm hoping to avoid The Doors - Riders on the storm

but will probably be singing along to It's a long way to CONTROL DALKEITH

   It's a long way to CONTROL DALKEITH,
    It's a long way to go.
    It's a long way to CONTROL DALKEITH
    To the sweetest girl I know!
    Goodbye Piccadilly,
    Farewell Leicester Square!
    It's a long long way to CONTROL DALKEITH,
    But my bag drop's right there.

I'm a randonneur, and I'm alright,
I ride all day and I ride all night.

I ride in the rain, I ride in the sun
I ride in sleet and hail
On Wednesdays I go fettling
Though something still will fail

Yes, I'm a randonneur and I'm alright
I ride all day and I ride all night

I ride past fields, I ride through fords
My chamois sometimes chaffs
I put on lycra bib-tights
And hang around in caffs.

I'm a randonneur and I'm alright
I ride all day and I ride all night

I ride my bike, I get quite lost
I sleep in any field
I'll pee in any hedgerow
And hope that I'm concealed

Yes, I'm a randonneur and I'm alright
I ride all day and I ride all night

My knees are sore, my tyre's flat
I've lost my bloody way.
So I am truly grateful
When I see that arrivee.

I'm the son of the prairie
And the wind that sweeps the plain
So, I'm goin' to Arizona
Just a Rider In The Rain

(S)he's a Rider In The Rain
(S)he's a Rider In The Rain
And I'm goin' to Arizona
(S)he's a Rider In The Rain
when you're dead you're done, so let the good times roll

Not really riding-related, but I usually find Half Man Half Biscuit's 'Vatican Broadside' stuck in my head for long periods of audaxes.

What happened to "Do you know the way to Gamlingay??"  I was sure it would be in the top 10!

That's my first 65km ruined then  :D

And the next line provides a word of warning for the return.

Do you know the way to Gamlingay?
I've been away so long. I may go wrong and lose my way.

Shame it's so near the arrivee. Sounds like a good control for a sleep.

This lost 70s white funk classic is the official soundtrack of any prolonged tailwind section.

Bear in mind that anyone who danced to this was on speed, so it seemed quite slow back then.

Think of two hours at that cadence and you're there, 44 miles up the road.

Lyrics.

People always rushing round,
Makin' time to fuss and to worry.
Get your feet back on the ground,
It's no good to live in a hurry.

Take it easy in your mind,
No one wants to get behind.
Think about it, you will find
Time is on your side, slow down.
Can't slow down

Things around you change so fast,
Livin' day to day is confusin'.
How long will the good times last,
Thinking you're on top when you're losin'?

Take it easy in your mind,
No one wants to get behind.
Think about it, you will find
Time is on your side, slow down.


Damon.

I've managed to convince myself that LEL is really easy.

So now my worry is about being brought crashing back to reality sometime on Monday.

If that is on the climb to yad moss then I doubt you will find that a problem. There is a small bit of grimping as you approach the climb as you drop down to a wooden bridge (this is marked on the route sheet for obvious reasons). The climb back up requires a hairpin and staying with the group there on the border raid last year put me well into the red.

If you expect to be in the Borders by then, then I don know what you have to fear. You'll already have about a day in hand. :D. Having ridden in that area a few times I also struggle to see how a man of your calibre will fail to cope.

I just had a sneaky look at uk.weather.com and noticed dryness in the south and wetness inthe north.   I am thinking that if it is dry and conditions are good on monday night then it may pay to bank some extra time in hand and then not be so forced to ride in bad conditions later on.
