What have you done today thread?

[Yambo]

Yambo did plenty too

Still do but just for cardio these days before a few weights etc.

@MrLB - you could try rowing for a time rather than a distance and let your kms build up that way. I just do 30 minutes and will manage about 6.5 kms in that time - about 2:18 pace which is quite relaxed (I did a full marathon on the rower a few years ago at 2:18 pace ).

Try and maintain a set pace (the big numbers on the screen) for the whole time until your technique and fitness improves. Oh and try for a slowish stroke rate, something around 23/24 spm. Rowing effort startswith the legs but moving your arse backwards and forwards quickly is not gonna help a lot. Weeksy's stroke rate was some thing like 18 or 19 spm iirc. Mine is 22/23 spm.

I haven't rowed today though (yet) as I've been helping get an English neighbour into hospital. She's in her 70s and not a full shilling and everything is compounded by her son who is in his 40s and has the mind of a six year old. "What's wrong dear?" "The doctor gave me antibiotics . . ."

Hospital then.

Went to a local farmers market, sold out by 11am...

[MingtheMerciless]

Worked a night shift, got home, refitted three radiators, bled and inhibited the system, coaxed the boiler into life and then attempted to rebalance the system.....

Rads might need a bit more twiddling over the next few days.

oh and I'm back on nights tonight.

Been to hospital to have my big toe nail ripped off

Cycling to pub Thursday night and foot slipped off pedal an toe nail was ripped right back. Didn't see the blood till morning.
Yesterday was too busy with all day BBQ so went today.

Doctor kept spraying cold stuff on to ease the pain as she prodded. Then a bug spray, "count to three" and a big tug and it was off. Farking ouch


Then she asked if I wanted an injection for the pain

Was in and out in 15 mins

Had bike serviced today in Newtown mid Wales. Took some bike shots.
Tracer and xsr 700 look pretty tidy imo. Also liking the V strom for that style. Quite like 2020 colour 900 tracer, especially light grey. couple of gsxxsis, and a very nice breakfast was had.
Pissed down on the way home.

Got a house guest for a week!

[chillitt]

Just had a shock 4 days working.. Woke up this morning just before 5, feeling a bit of a suffering barstard, had a lazy morning catching up with a few little jobs and drinking tea. A mate popped in who seemed delighted his wife was recoving from an op on the throat and aslo that she isnt supposed to speak unless its important.. This afternoon I sorted out the leaking corsa. Turns out body filler is not suitable for repairing a flexible rubber seal. And silicon is not suitable for repairing windscreen seals that have fallen out. Especially if there is zero prep done. Got soaked putting tools away, lit the fire, had a massive fry up and just now, starting to feel a bit more human.

I really like the look of those, like the 1980's Dr Big.

I bet they make great road bikes, but that seat looks a bit harsh for doing any distance on.

Just got back from a brief spin on the 900 - haven't ridden it in a couple of weeks - I'm trying to cycle to work ATM and the NC is my everyday bike.
Fired it up and blast me bor the exhaust is still loud .
25 yr old Honda reliable as anything (will now fail to start or leave me stranded the next time I take it out)
Sunny day in London but starting to get colder

Rode the K to Church. Frightened some little poodle on the way there, parked up and then let the congregation members oooh and aaah over it. Funnily enough I was at another Church last week and the heating engineer who came onsite proclaimed "very nice bike vicar!", I was wearing my bike jacket at the time and yes, my clerical collar as well....

Fancied a pint so walked up the pub, the tosser decided to close at 7pm. I was outside chatting to another local for around 20 minutes, 6 other people turned up then went elsewhere. I really fancy a beer now I can't have one, might have to drive to town and get a takeaway.
