I'll be having a rummage around in the garage for my sanity and if I stumble across a bike on the way I'll get out on that for the first time in months :shock:

Lots of time to take pics, drink tea/eat cake and try to get my fitness back in order now the medication is working....Oh and I may go backcountry skiing tomorrow if I can get some insurance organised for the new van, by organised I mean pull my finger out :oops:

A day of coffee, cake and cameras on Saturday (going 'back to school' shooting black-and-white on an original Nikon FM), then hopefully finishing the rebuild on and riding my CX bike on Sunday.

Me? I'm coaching kids all day Saturday - mostly beginners who want to learn how to do drops and jumps but who will be better of learning which gears do what and how to use both brakes - then off on a 4/5 day tour of the Cotwalds while the Comptroller General and the two cost centres are skiing in Italy. This is the one week of the year I have to myself. Cant wait.
I'm just going outside ...

I shall be having a go with my hexamid that arrived today :grin:

Also have to re-spoke a wheel on my commuter bike and loads of bike maintenance, and all my tools and bikes are covered in a layer of dust after where we stored them got re-roofed and covered everything in an inch layer of dust. If experienced roofers that they're meant to be had given us any warning it would have tekn 10 mins to wheel bikes out the way and cover everything in dust sheets, as it is there is now a considerable amount of very careful cleaning to do :roll:

Thanks for the invite Jeff - sorry but I can't make tomorrow morning for sure. Will be out later in the weekend likely for a potter round Gwydwr I reckon. Have a good one - you out round Tal y Fan/Conwy Mt.?

Off to work shortly :sad:
Then tonight I shall sleep a usual night and wake up wondering how that equated to a 1 hour lie in?!?
It would appear that on Sunday I shall be erecting some trellis, putting down some path edging and laying a gravel path. I'm so excited...
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.
