Been laning today onlty to find someones been fly tipping and burnt a car out on the side of one of the lanes.
Dirty scum hope there legs fall off.
-
WAS YOU LANING NEAR PETERBOROUGH?
-
Today I should have been going for a flying lesson, but guess what? It got rained off! No flying at 50 ft, lining up on the dams for me!
No 'tally ho, back in time for tea and sticky buns'! :(
-
Had a cracking day Laning, lots of mud and puddles! :lol:
-
Not been laning myself, but have just pulled a mate in his SJ out of a ditch......... :roll:
-
all I did was drive along a towpath and use the disco as an achor point to atttatch a tirfor and pulley too for puley 4 tree stumps out of the canal bed.
Would like to add disco was anchored to a huge tree too!!!

My Sunday was cold, wet & fairly hard-going :-({|= (self-inflicted at that!!)
I was supposed to have been riding a Cyclo-Cross over at Greetland (south-west of Halifax) this afternoon.
But given the weather of the day, SWMBO decided she didn't want to go with me.
It was a 2-parter, & after the time-trial at 12:00, we'd have been hanging around for the second part starting at 13:45.
So, given the inclement weather, I can't really blame her. I don't think I really wanted to be hanging about in the rain & cold between the 2 sections.
I know I could have gone by myself, but it was the simple things like; who could I get to look after the Landie-keys that was the problem
As penance for missing a planned event, I got ready & went out for a ride
I think I did about 40-42miles, in the manky wet & cold weather.*
I left the house at roughly 11:20
The legs started to warm up at around the 6mile mark, which was somewhere around FerryBridge, then the rain got a bit heavier :(
Passing through Barkston Ash & Saxton, it got very cold indeed, as the wind got up a bit.
At one point somewhere near The New Inn (west of Sherburn), I'll admit, I got the giggles for being so bl**dy stupid & coming out
Although, I have been out when it's snowing before, and even ridden over Snake Pass (the A57) & The Strines when there's ice on the roads - as well as snow laying deeply at the sides.
When I walked back in the house, SWMBO had to peel my gloves off, as I couldn't feel my fingers sufficiently to do it myself :roll:
My feet were equally cold, as they were also so wet that they could be webbed!!
I'll admit, I almost 'squealed like a girl' when I got in the shower, as the hot water sprayed my feet :oops:
But settled for a manly "B*gger, that's hot!"
* For the record; Home, Whitwood, Cutsyke, Glasshoughton (near 'Xscape'), FerryBridge, Brotherton, Byram-cum-Sutton, Birkin, Hillam, Monk Frystson, South Milford, Sherburn-in-Elmet, Barkston Ash, Saxton, Sherburn-in-Elmet, South Milford, Lumby, Fairburn, Allerton Bywater, Castleford, Whitwood & home

I reckon that I'd have ended up looking like this after the first part, let alone the second:shock:
So, would have had to take hot-water, flannels & towels as well ;)

It turns out that there was a bit of an emergency at the Greetland Cyclo-Cross!!!
The event was abandoned
See 'Latest News' (http://www.yorkshirecyclocross.org.uk/)
I read in this mornings 'Yorkshire Post'[/b] that a rider had collapsed and taken to Hospital, with a suspected heart attack, but didn't wish to comment until I knew a bit more.
I'll admit I don't recognise the name, but believe he's a member of the organising club[/quote]

There were plenty of cyclists competing inthe peaks too on Sunday. Most of them didn't look to be enjoying it :(
