Feeling a bit lost, as apart from tomorrow's ride, I haven't got any other epic rides of my own planned for this year.  :-\

I'll have to get my thinking head on.

Reading up on the rigging of Dutch windmills on WIkipedia. My Saturday nights are very exciting.

Wondering where pingu is. No updates for hours.
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

Oh dear.

I'm trying to decide between a 10 and 12l hydration pack. At this rate colour will be the deciding factor.

It was a sensible choice - I just couldn't face anything last night, let alone getting us and our stuff ready for a 50 and organising transport for him there and everything.  And it's roasting out there - I have morethan enough sunburn for one weekend!

Having totally run out of water on Fiday/Saturday's ride, I'd say get the big'un!

Looking for my hat.
If SWMBO follows through on her promise that she'll be coming to York (probably one of the signs of the Apocalypse, but there you go) then I'm going to need some kind of fabric-based protection for my head - showering this morning was an, erm, interesting experience  :o

Having had a lie in I think I may wait until a bit later to get a ride in. Then I can blame sticky tarmac for my slowness.

I'll have 3l of water space either way - I'm not sure I'm capable of drinking 10l between stops without doing a passable impression of a 3 year old needing a wee.  :o 
The question is really whether I'm likely to fill the extra 2l with unnecessary and heavy junk or something vital that would otherwise involve yet another bag.

Watching a hot-air balloon getting closer and closer to the train I'm on in Market Harborough.

I think we'll get away though.

Suffering the digestive aftermath of advanced sleep deprivation and large doses of diclofenac and codeine.  Probably explains the previous post...

Eating an absolutely enormous breakfast outside the Granary in Hay.
I'll never eat it all.   Where's Teethgrinder when you need him?
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Recovering form my first bit of work since March! I taught a Catalan woman English, although why she's spending £3K on a week at a private school when the money would be better spent on learning the basics is beyond me. Still, keeps me off the streets...

Sitting on a wall in front of school, in a nice shady spot, eating ice lollies with the SmallestCub while we wait for big'un to finish his karate class.

There is a song from the 1970's which goes something like: "Thinking it right, doing it wrong, its easier from an armchair..." (bet no one knows who did it!) well that's me at the moment... planning but knowing I won't actually do it!

The plan...the C2C over 2 days in September. Why won't I do it.... because I hate hills and never actually complete what I plan. Sigh.

Bit of a waste of time planning, but its good to dream eh.

Tenement Funster. It's a Queen song, written and sung by Roger Taylor. Waves of alternatives wash at my sleepiness, have my eggs poached for breakfast, I guess...

Discussing whether lightsabres radiate heat, and whether you could use them to cook sausages.   :facepalm:

Add one or two more days, which will give you time to enjoy the route and walk when necessary.

I may be doing C2C and/or Hadrian's Wall this year.  Must dig out the maps, etc and make some tentative plans...
