Last bank holiday before Christmas , so what's in store?

I'm home alone from 8.00am this morning until late Monday night so once I've finished packing orders and done a post run, I might attempt the task or sorting out my workshop. I've being putting it off for some time but now seem to have boxed myself into a 3' x 3' working area After that, there's weeding the yard and bringing wood in for winter. Somewhere, I'll squeeze in a little BB200 recon with Dennis the dog.

Added bonus of fried Spam butties for tea

Niece’s 18th today so a meal in Manchester with her. Currently in Bradford getting a present

Road ride back home tomorrow taking in a couple of climbs from the 100 climbs book. Scary thing is that it’s the first time I’ve tried to follow a route on the Garmin 520

Then looking at doing something over Saturday and Sunday nights but don’t know what just yet

I’m in north Devon atm, without the bike. Can’t complain really I was here the week before and had a good run around the B150 course. Saturday will be spent keeping family happy, Sunday driving home and perhaps watching MotoGP. Unlikely to get out Monday either I’m angling for a pass next weekend I’m 50 on Friday and being a miserable sod would rather spend it sleeping in a ditch

We're talking a number of years, yeah?

Me, I'm dog sitting whilst youngest daughter goes to the seaside. He's an old boy now so can only manage walks of a couple of miles at a gentle pace. So, local blasts on the bike for me whilst he sleeps between walks and meals

Yes, quite some time Peter and the worse it got, the less inclined I was to start.

Spending the weekend with my folks in Dorset, partly to help look after my boy as i'm alone with him for the next week! Hoping to get out for a couple of local road rides on my dad's old Raleigh

'Spam' - haven't you finished that WW2 leftovers stash yet .

(Been trying hard to fit your 50th in Stevo but have failed dismally due to family stuff next weekend, sorry chap )

Mildenhall cycling festival tomorrow. I entered the 200km Audax. Part of me thinks I should have gone for the 300km ride as its so flat in Suffolk. Looks like it could be a hot one though so maybe I made the right choice afterall.

I only have it when Dee's away, dog loves it too

Pubduro NYM for me, will only be my 2nd bivy this year ( the shame!) then fun stuff with the kids on monday, probably the park maybe the beach!
I'm off the rest of the week and taking them camping up on the NYM

I'm working on Monday so going to go up to the peaks
Probably going just for the day - no overnighter this time

Something with "300" in the title, either Lakes or Peaks. Haven't decided yet.

Bike needs a serious coat of looking at tonight.

Relatives down for the weekend so hopefully riding off the hangover over Dartmoor on Monday

I've got 9 days of basically just me and the kids while the missus is off in seclusion finishing her masters assignment for the year. I forsee lots of trips out in the trailer that they barely squeeze in any more and bike maintenance in the back garden while they steal my tools.

Feeling ill, so it looks like a quiet weekend at home rather than a welsh adventure - boo

Applying Voltarol to my back, and going for a bivvy.

off to Portsmouth today with the wife and kids for the Victorious festival -two of my favourite bands ever are playing , The Specials and Doves, then over to stay with friends in Bognor Regis saturday and sunday, and going out for a ride on monday

Family duties ( youngster back from nearly a month in Dublin and on his uncles farm in Leitrim) over the weekend spoiling my plans of tcw ,so it's just down the long mynd on Tuesday ,back Wednesday ,work Thursday

I can't believe how sociable you all are, doubtful I'll see a soul now until Tue .... fantastic

It's "Thunder in the Glens" this weekend so Aviemore and environs is full of Harley Davidsons, I normally arrange to be doing "something else" but I've been caught out this year and we have a couple of friends staying over Saturday night so we'll likely be heading into town to hear raucous music, eat crap food, drink fizzy beer and probably get a few investment ideas, surgery appointments etc from the riders.

However, before that I'm setting off today on an overnighter to try out some new bikepacking ideas.

Lucky bugger

I’m not antisocial but currently sat on a crowded beach with the hills in the background, my idea of hell.

Down in Mid-Wales over the weekend - one night in Corris. Bringing bikes and rafts for a mess about and and Mid-Wales explore with Fran..... might drop by Stu as there is a quiet lanes ride we fancy near your way?

I'll likely be about Mark or certainly not far away.

Stuck at work all weekend and the weather looks perfect

I’m planning on heading out for an overnighter on Monday but can’t decide whether to head north to the Ridgeway/Ivinghoe area or south to the SDW. It’s 50:50 on distance so might have to flip a coin to decide.
