Were you on or off road today?

Minor roads and a bit of track. (Nearly blown off-road on the way back 🤣).

Presumably by a vehicle? Having said that, it was pretty windy and cold up on the tops today. First time this Autumn I've had to wear full gloves etc. Colder than a witches smile at times, just couldn't get warm, despite occasionally strenuous sections. Still loved it though.

Took the high road back out of Leyburn. No shelter, and a real 'lazy' wind. Stopped at one point to remove a pretty large bough that had been blown off, and was blocking half the road. Helps to add appreciation to the evening in the pub (whence I currently am)

Must check the Brompton. Fritz the Roomster is in for MoT on Wednesday and I'll need to cycle last bit to work and then back to recover car in my break.

First day off in 20 consecutive days today, bikes loaded, forest awaits, sun shining ( bit cold but hey ho ) and Scotland won yesterday. All is well in the world !

HAd the mountain bikes out last weekend while having a short break in the caravan on Bucks/Berks/Herts border. Rode along the Grand Union Canal's towpath for a bit but got increasingly bogged down in mud - with attendant risk of sliding into the drink. Canalside pub looked inviting but silly expensive, no paninni or anything like that just burgers at £10 a pop.

I kind of need to order a new back wheel for one of my bikes. Unfortunately, the earliest available delivery is Saturday. Not sure if I should go ahead in case we all get nuked by then? Seems a bit of a waste if we do.

Keep the receipt and send it back if we're wiped out by a Russian nuclear missile or two.

Seems a bit of a waste if we do. ...go ahead and buy it. I have it on good authority that Vlad has a bob or two on Bradford to win away at Doncaster on Monday night, and that the button-push is scheduled for Tuesday after the winnings have been collected........

That's a relief, it's set to be cold but dry this weekend so good cycling weather. I guess if he's going to, y'know, the thingy, it'd be better if he did it on a weekday rather than ruin everyone's weekend.

This might sound stupid (well it is stupid), but you know all these Russian military planes that keep buzzing around on the edge of UK airspace; can't we just accidentally badly aim a missile being used for target practice and...Ooops; sorry about that Vlad, but we seem to have knocked one of your planes out of the sky??
It might give him pause for thought?

Never a good thing. Not never ever.

So how do you stop a bully. How could we have stopped Hitler earlier, without war?
Not disagreeing with you at all, but Vlad seems to be able to do anything he wants at the moment.
