^Good work!

I fear I might of overdone it today!

I feel sick and haven't been able to move for an hour, it may be heat exhaustion.


A day of canal capers today..

The former transportation network for the Industrial revolution, hail the canal..

A gaggle?

Through the valley of the Foxgloves I shall fear no poison..

A 14" Homous,salad and ham baguette

Time to rehydrate, cheers all.

[Joe 90]

Some long overdue maintenance was in order today!

Loose spokes, baldness and chipped teeth and that's before I got stuck in to the bike

[Mendip]

^^ Is 14 inch considered long up Norf?

Those pics of the English countryside just make me want to hurry up and get over there... it's been 20 years since I spent any time in the UK in the summer, I can't wait.

Let's hope you bring the sun with you mate!

You got whole teeth missing on 2nd gear. What do you figure ? Buy a whole new gear set ?

Are they poisonous? Awesome, you also have a canal, sort of like the one I ride around. Hope you feel better!

It was working.ok in the hills today as it is so I'll probably leave it for now, wearing in the new tyres on the 30oC tarmac was a different story.

Hi MM, I took a few more canal pics for you today. See if you can spot the Herron fishing for his lunch.
Yes, I believe Foxgloves are poisonous.

Cheers

Five hours of mountain madness today on the longest and hottest day of the year!

I'm really looking forward to a few rehydration beers once the dads taxi is finished for today.

A couple of canal caper pics..

Would have had a dip in here if it wasn't for all that algae, still a stunning picture..

At this point in the ride my eyes were stinging from the sweat pouring of my egg nog, what wonderful opportunity to watch the rutting deers from the shade of an massive 200year old Oak tree..

Hills n heat...

Much needed..

Todays money shot..

Enjoy.

Thought I'd liven this thread up with some eye candy, feel free to add your own

I must be cycling in the wrong locations!

^ Number six has got nice dimples!

Thanks for the recent pics, joe. I always enjoy the views of the English countryside, as shown by you.

Btw, what is that food in post 485? Is it a dessert? Looks yum!

[DrWilly]

Looks like a cottage pie (meat and potatoes)

[Joe 90]

With baby beetroots, thanks for your interest Katie and input KW.

[DrWilly]

With baby beetroots,

Makes it healthy.

There's a theme with todays set of pics, let's see which one of the TDCSI super sleuth brigade can suss it out!

Shocking I know, it'll £2 a litre soon and motorists seeing red!

Damn inconvenience these cycle lanes everywhere, encouraging people to stay fit and save the planet even in backwaters like Mai Arse!

Liquid lunch today..

Never seen so many sheep sheltering from the heat under one tree.

All you need to circumnavigate the globe, this and a wad of money, a film crew and some backup..

#summer

What a crime to let this old blue beatneck bus rot ..

I've made it too easy haven't I?

Apparently not or no one gives a flying fook

[Joe 90]

A clue...

[Joe 90]

Ok no takers.

The answer was Rainbow!

The wheels were wobbling like buckled navvi wheelbarrow wheels today due to over inflation.
Sorted it out with a bit of deflation and all was good apart from the Covid that has plagued me for a couple of weeks now.
The lines on the tests are getting weaker so I should be able to manage a decent ride soon instead of the paltry 10 mile today.

[Backspin]

Nobody would have guessed that.

[Joe 90]

Nobody would have guessed that.

Chirp in now I've given the answer

I thought it was some creative posting and photography.

[MarilynMonroe]

Funny cartoon.. Rainbow man!

Lovely canal pics, the Blue Heron is gorgeous. Is that Chatsworth? I have been there with my relatives in 2005. Great gardens if it is the same place.
You got Covid again? Sorry to hear that, get well soon!

[Mendip]

Nobody would have guessed that.

I got it, was obviously rainbow but my internet dropped out.

[Joe 90]

A few scorching rides out lately, I fear my trusty rode bike is due to be replaced soon.

Getting various issues with it now and besides it's over 6 years old and done 10,000 + miles...

Look how dry that grass is..

A chicken and lentil Vindaloo to replenish the nutrients..
