Really enjoyed today’s ride, particularly enjoyed the annual coffee stop. I’m already looking forward to next year’s.

PS Thanks for the coffee, Flapjack, I’ll get the next one.

It’s lovely that our glorious Chairman has found someone to play with, I just hope Anne Widdicombe doesn’t tire him out.

There’s a cyclocross race in Clarkenhill next Sunday that I’m thinking of doing.

A quick look at the event makes me think it would suit Roger, quite a lot of walking/running as well as cycling and limited to 50 minutes duration so less danger of him going off too fast then blowing up.

[Sweaty Eds]

Valleyman, I’m going to give it a go.

Could I book a place, a turbo and maybe an industrial strength fan and a stack of towels. It would be worth Bloomfield perhaps rigging up some sort of extra drainage.

An epic account of an epic achievement.

You’re an IRONMAN!

Anyone who has seen Monsters Inc will know just how I feel right now…

[Sweaty Eds]

Should still be ok.

[Sweaty Eds]

Would love to come, but one of my many chldren has a birthday in that week. Maybe next year.

[Sweaty Eds]

Put me down for two mate, baby sitters pending.

Technology not my thing. This may be a link to the podium photo or it might turn out to be a shortcut to the ‘Just Jugs’ website.

Tour of Britain Sportive – The Sweaty Way

1. Laze in bed until after start time.

2. Eat leisurely breakfast then head to Cardiff.

3. Park up then cycle to Caerphilly in glorious sunshine whilst enjoying the shouts of ‘Go Wiggo’ from the locals.

4. Arrive in Caerphilly to find teammates still riding.

5. Chat to the man-on-mike, fail to correct his misapprehension that I had already completed the Sportive and was now waiting for my tardy teammates.

6. Welcome home teammates when they finally finish, narrowly avoid difficult scene with man-on-mike.

7. Fail to correct Sportive helpers when ushered into area reserved for Sportive participants.

8. Enjoy free lunch and hot drinks.

9. Fail to hide disappointment at contents of ill-gotten goodie bag.

10. Enjoy quite fantastic atmosphere of Tour of Britain finish and excellent company of companions.

11. Pose for presentation photo with gorgeous podium girls.

12. Cycle back to Cardiff over Caerphilly mountain at speeds that would make Jonathan Tiernan-Locke blush, narrowly miss Stravas KOM Top 150.(162/195)

13. Look in vain for name painted on the road on the mountain, consider changing name to Wiggo Skoda, the new climbing sensation from Estonia.

14. Avoid Caerphilly gridlock and arrive home to watch the stage on ITV4.

I won’t make the rugby club but will be there on Sunday.

I suppose this blows my chances of being feedstation captain!

[Sweaty Eds]

I love your mower, Celia. Can I get the wheels and stickers from Kenny at Fossa Sports? Does he do something suitable for Strimmers, do you think?

I’m not sure I’m ready for a race though, I wonder if they do lawnmower sportives?

[Sweaty Eds]

Felt the need to join the party.

My satellite reception can’t be that good because it looks like I’ve mown most of the downstairs and the pavement outside.

Modesty prevents me from posting a photo.

I’d like to help this year.
