Bike cafe not too far from me. What an absolute gem!
 
Hero status incoming ...Just make up something as to how it happened 😉
1) Surgeon misplaced her scalpels so she improvised, broke her lunchtime beer bottle and used that!
2) I went to the rescue of a damsel in distress and her boyfriend slashed me with a broken bottle!
3) Shark attack!
4) Change in NHS policy: Anyone who is not "working people" get scars. (Shades of the MASH question: "big stitches or small stitches?" Next question: "Officer or enlisted man?" Answer "enlisted" - make them big!")
 
Went out this afternoon for a plod. The wind was like a furnace. Yesterday it evaporated your sweat .. today it just engulfed you in fire.

Stopped at a bar 🍻

I think that's standard emergency procedure ?

2 beers later I somehow had 4 more.

Anyway, had a great ride back and put away lots of my bone breaking concerns, grabbed air and cornered like golden balls - it was great.

Mate on the way back renovating his pad, his dog sits with him ..

Oh yeah. Don't drink and ride. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere and can ride over all the fields.. then it's still stupid. But ...
 
The Amflow is on Fire love it.
I'm starting to get jealous !

Stupidly hot here again today resulting in another refreshment break stop..

Perseverance... Finally won the T-Shirt !

For those less interested in t-shirts.. Bar maids having lunch. Fortunately they couldn't finish it so I had a snack too ..

I’m jealous also…of the t-shirt, the weather and your new friends. 😉

As its getting closer to school holidays & holiday season in general I thought it best ( as a resident of Northumberland ) to warn you off visiting this part of the country if you are having a " staycation" this year ..and with all the hullabaloo in Spain & Greece at the moment Im guessing a good few of you will be ...?
Apart from the fact that it's crap here with very little to see & do ( you'd be better off staying in the south or by-passing the place & heading up to Scotland ) it would appear that the message hasn't reached too many ears ..so far
Myself & The Missus had a ride over to the Coast today and were genuinely shocked as to how overcrowded our favourite beach was ..

Nice and cool on coast piping hot inland. Not a lot of folk walking about those i seen looking hot and weary. Lot cooler on bike . Met Alex an old hill walking pal out on his analogue bike honking up the brae. he's only 80 though 😉. No fancy cafe on my 31 miler , just a bunch of grapes while I watched the cricket at Fochabers. Great to get out
