look at my new bike

for his 60th birthday which was in august, my husband and daughter and respective partners are going to cycle The way of the Roses next year. I am back up team in the motorhome following the peleton. The mountain bike he rides did not fit the bill and he has been hinting for a while about getting a road bike, so a trip to Cockermouth and hear it is. PS I have to say that you never see him in dark colours as he is the king of colour, it is clean the hot tub out tonight so scruffs are on. back to reds, yellow or orange tomorrow
The way of the Roses. Never heard of that ride? That seat is very high, he must have very long legs!
Sounds fun but hard work...I would stick to back up too!

Back up for me I think. Where will the ride take them?

@happypat @ceilidh the way of the roses is from morecambe to Bridlington. Pat he is 6'4 so long legs

Hot tub, you kept that quiet! Yes, got to say Mr D looks better in colour. 170 miles I would rather be driving than cycling that tough terrain.

@countrylassie that is why i am back up Lesley, hot tub weather back again cool evenings, I don't like it much in the summer, give me snow on the ground, a glass of red and a steaming hot tub who needs the telly

@annika82 I know I would need one of the lovely saddles that come from your country, but still would struggle. they are doing it over a few days

How exotic! Would love a hot tub too. This venture I'll be great fun so good luck to all the cyclists

@pennystot The only negative thing I can comment about a hot tub is that it eats electricity, other wise I love it. I will post on the cycle ride next year, they are so looking forward to it .

@pinkpaintpot never thought of the electric bill!

September 29th, 2014
