Ah, now that is the same IP address as yesterday. Perhaps you were on a different computer when you sent in the old comment that I looked at?

I do intend to keep up with the blog but I’m so busy trying to earn some money that I’m not actually doing any exercise at the moment! It’s a week since that little ride and I haven’t even been for a walk (other than nipping out to the shops when I need to)! Oops, that reminds me – I forgot the ‘progress report’ – I’ll do that tomorrow and back-date it.

I was working until 01:00 today and I was busy when your comment came in. It will probably be gone midnight again when I stop tonight. I hope this effort pays off or I’m going to have to do something drastic…

Looking at my schedule, and the weather forecast, I’ve pretty much given up on a ride this week now. I might go for a very quick power walk up a local hill and back down again. Either that or zap myself on my gym bike for an hour. I have to something because I feel like a caged animal!

hi colin,
yep was me, nope not a different computer, weird eh? yeah it’s been icy for the last few winters now. may have to invest in some spiked tyres for next winter. can’t afford time off the bike from march onwards. keep up with the blog. maybe a shortish mtb ride? could show you the new bridleway bit? anyway let me know

That’s obviously you Shaun, but you’ve come across as Mister Anonymous this time! Also, your IP address is different – are you posting from a different computer than the one you normally use?

I’m really paranoid about ice! I was thinking of going for a ride today but I looked out of my back window and saw black ice everywhere and decided not to risk it. If we get a nice day after a mild night, I’ll be up for a ride. I’ll let you know if I’m doing anything.

The bloke in shorts sounds bonkers – I’m wearing multiple layers indoors with the gas fire on!

was over your way on sunday. be careful over widdup loads of sheet ice on the roads. can catch you unaware. i was on the mtb after putting gears back on and i did about half of mtl and added the new bit on. i came across a guy coming down from gorple road in cycling shorts and thin top carrying his bike. was going dark. he had no tools, no tube, no repair kit and no phone signal. he didn’t really know how to fit a tyre!!! said he was from hebby. good job he saw me and cadged a tyre…could’ve froze to death!!

good to hear you back on the bike fatso…lol. if you want a riding buddy i can pop over with some slicks on my mtb. the brommie keeps breaking on the hills.
