Finley in full flow
Not bothered managed to log on for a few days now - didn’t help that we had an internet outage at work for most of Friday. Being as we’re a web development company it wasn’t really helpful, but we seemd to survive and I don’t recall hearing too many screams.
Thursday evening was spent at the in-laws, “watching the football”. It was rather boring so we went out to play with my 3 year old nephew on his scooter. Rather more interesting and amusing and Imanaged to get a great photo (well, I think it’s great)!
Yesterday we went off to Darley Bridge with Captain Arse aka Martyn - on Friday night we had a phone call to say he’d pick us up at 9.30, but we’d have to pop via Matlock Bath to drop off Claire. “Are you sure we’ll fit four people and three bikes in your car?” I asked. “Of course”, he replied.
As expected then, he phoned yesterday morning to say that he was indeed wrong and we’d have to drive ourselves. Oh well, I was expecting it anyway. I wasn’t expecting the A6 to be closed at Buxton, which increased the journey time, nor was I expecting Hora Hora Poo Poo Pants to turn up in addition to Marcus and Pauly Paul.
Top ride in very hot weather - 36km in just over 4 hours, which is about average speed. Hora Hora Poo Poo Pants dropped out after about 22km and rode back on the road, while we enjoyed the rest of the ride then a couple of pints in the nearest pub (via a quick game of car park naked of course). 2 pints after all that exercise was a bit ambitious and I ended up droppng off in front of the telly *again*. I’ll learn, one day, eh?
