Alternatively you might get dragged off and beaten to a pulp by those of us who get frozen every
time we step out of the door.

I've decided that my lifestyle will in future be best suited to one that involves spending six
months a year in the northern hemisphere followed by six months in the southern hemisphere. I have
it all worked out, apart from the small detail of how to fund this lifestyle.

BTW, we've had beautiful, dry, sunny weather for the last week. Admittedly the temperature hasn't
got above zero, but it would still be a lovely weekend for a ride or two. Tragically, I'm travelling
to England (fish and chips, cup o' tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary F*ckin' Poppins) and it's
guaranteed to **** it down.

That reminds me. This weekend will be the first time that I've ever been mountain biking in England!

Bollox! Summer sucks like a sufeit of steroid fed leaches. Gimme cold, dull, wet, miserable days
anytime. The future is grey.

It's been a lovely week for a ride or two, my favourite conditions.

Oh Pete, why do you have to keep posting stuff like that? That's the sort of picture that makes me
contemplate jacking in my job...

Agreed, but I do like shorts and shirt weather. As long as the sun shines, I'm happy

I'm glad you got a 'sucks' in. Wouldn't have been right if we hadn't gotten
it.

I wasn't disappointed. Both my nieces dragged me off and made me watch the 'Wiggles' video with them
AGAIN last night.... Not what I had in mind, but it DID happen...

Well, I had Scotland because of the 'Cairn' and his Roy Walker thingy, and Cumbria because Stybarrow
sounds like Cumbria to me.

Shaun aRe

they were my 2 choices....

confusion over the number '2', and the rest of
it....oh whathell.....
