soooooo jealous. Coming up on 2 weeks without sitting on a bike, indoor or outdoor, which is pretty much unthinkable for me. I'm struggling, but simply not an option. I may try a very very gentle Eeb ride.

Torrential rain and wind stopped any plans for a pedal this morning, so took the opportunity to nip over to JE James in Chesterfield to find a new open face helmet as I've given up on convincing myself that I've got a POC shaped head and need to find a new lid from a different manufacturer.

They had this upstairs....

WTF?

A nighttime pedal in the peaks this evening with @porter_jamie

Paused at Hope Cross...

...to smoke a superb monte cristo number 4...

...and a nip of Laphroaig from the trusty hip flask.

Before rattling back down for a swift pint in Hope.

Took the lad over Epsom common, found mud and fun. He sits in front of me, loves it.

So he loves his balance bike 12in
He can peddle a 14inch bike, but it’s slightly too high, he struggles to push off (I’ve got a new seat and it’s as low as it can go)

He’d get 10 mins into a ride and want to go home 😂😂😂
He’s getting there
