I sacked it off. Went to Lyme Park for a walk and to watch the Bowstones Fell Race.
Jet washed the patio, fixed the pond pump and swept the drive.
Productive day ![]()

It’s come up as a challenge on Strava again. This year is my year! Going to at least start the challenge, which I’ve failed to do recently.
I’m definitely out this year, heading down to the big city
on 27th for 4 days and won’t be cycling.
It’s actually a useful nudge to get a decent block in a few days if you achieve it.
And gets you away from the fridge and Christmas chocolates ![]()
You coming to That London?
![]()
Good luck with that ![]()
I’m sure I’ll register for Festive 500 but how far I get will be completely weather dependent.
I’ve got no interest in riding outdoors in the rain and I don’t want to do mega rides on Zwift just to earn a virtual badge

True, but as jeff says, I could really do with doing something where I’m burning more calories than I’m ingesting.
If you knock a zero off, I’m defintiely in.
and another zero to that and I’m in.
The amount of times I’ve tried to do it and its just made me miserable, something always happens to get in the way, I’ve done 450 ish many times.
I saw a CW article the other week which was basically titled ‘how I fell in love with cycling again riding at 23kph’. These days I just set a route 50-55km and follow the nav screen, no ‘numbers’.
I think I glanced at that article myself. It’s about my limit anyway these days ![]()
Yup
the GF is also coming but we’re staying outside and will commute in, only 3 days but I suspect she’ll be that knackered after 2 I’ll be on my own the last day ![]()
Tell me what it’s like - I’ve lived here for over 28 years and haven’t done most of the touristy stuff yet.
I worked about 100m away from St Paul’s cathedral for 15 years and I never went in to see what it was like on the inside

I proposed to Mrs W at St Paul’s. The plan was to do it in the whispering gallery, but it was closed!
. Ended up on a park bench by a grave; very romantic! Luckily she still said yes, despite my obvious lack of planning and checking.
Technically both 50 and 55 are numbers
