What do you do in the bath?

Personally I no longer have a bath.  Just a really good walk in shower with which I have sex after every sweaty bike ride.  Oooohhh, it does feel good!  Wet, hot and tingly!  No place though nowadays for my ducks.  Poor things.  No more soapy suds in which to soak.  Bubblebaths are no more.  Back pressed into hot and cold taps (yikes!) when perhaps sharing with other than a duck is now a distant memory.  Those long long soaks falling asleep whilst wearing a close fitting hot water jacket are no more... But let me tell you; I am so happy I took the bath out and installed a big walk in shower... :-)

So as warned, here is the video of the North Yorkshire 200 ride out last month.  I didn't get to where I am today... er, sorry wrong blog entry.  Well, we did didn't we?  We made it back home safely?  Sadly the ride was cut short cos of the risk of thunderstorms across the North York Moors.  Nonetheless, a smashing 3 days.  A little toughie of a ride in places.  Notwithstanding the sun burn which left me with a very red conk and a busted lip it was a grand 3 days out...  

There's lots of me chatting though / grinding my gears / moans and groans / worrying of London Alan in this edition with my tales of woe especially about the crap nav, etc.

I apologise for the video quality.  At times it's like watching an old batman episode without the THWACKS! and ZOWIES! splattered across the screen.  But let me tell you, they were there....

Hope you enjoy sharing this ride with us.

Perhaps, you might watch it - whilst in the bath?

Ciao for now

Cycling NZ26 - Day 6 - Right Here. Right Now.

It’s 0240 am Zulu and I cannot sleep. My legs are screaming at me demanding to be fed.   I crawl out of bed to retrieve the cold crumple of paper wrapped chips from the waste basket and start to eat the greasy nastiness from within the printless sheets.  If I cannot sleep I must at least write a final letter before my execution at dawn.    To explain to you all why I am guilty of letting loose my thoughts, full of hairy melons and balloon dogs and Mr Softees and the like.  I lay on my back with the small bed side table lamp projecting monstrous demon shadows onto my cell wall. I listen carefully to the beautiful music that’s being riven with full force into that space between my ears; a playlist specifically selected for this moment in time.  I start to cry.    Not a sound out of me. Just rivulets of water cascading down my cheeks. Stoppit now Wayne, for you are dehydrated enough. Tears on your pillow sadly will not drown your sorrows in this life...

Cycling NZ26 - Day 7 - Mozzie Hell!

It’s 0408 zulu. My sleeping bag is full of dead mosquitoes.  Only a short update here to confirm that I am still alive.  Yesterday was start of the Timber trail. An unearthly hard grade of rock strewn washed out trail and logging track. No place for a fat man and his moose of a bike. No real beauty in this place as all I can see for miles and miles is native virgin vegetation all around.  Best laid plans n all that. Well, because I did not know what lay ahead some rearrangement of the bike was needed so that I could fit it out with stores. Cold rations.    A large pack of soft white tortillas, jars of peanut butter and hazelnut and chocolate spread. Cheese triangles and smoked chorizo plus handfuls of chocolate bars. Plus huge quantities of water. The bike now weighs a ton.  One thousand times perhaps I wrestled the sucker over washout and fallen trees and up impossible grades. For this is a place no man even with a horse should ever venture.  Toward t...

Cycling NZ26 - the 6 Million Dollar Bolt!

It’s 3.36 am Zulu. Local Time.  My name is Jake Sully.  I’ve just awoken from a very deep dreamless sleep. So unlike me except for the very very early rise. There’s a mixture of apprehension and even more apprehension coursing through my body as I lay in bed typing this codswallop into my phoney friend.  The flight to New Zealand was uneventful. Long, yes. Boring, yes. Uneventful. Unlike in the film AVATAR , Kathy Pathetic’s wannabe Boing Dreamliner completely failed to put me into deep hibernation. Desperate to be away with the fairies was I but no, not yet, Wayne. Eventually perhaps when Kathy has had her way with me and at a time yet to be given to me by the Lord of the Rings.  I will eventually lose my thrust on this long long flight amongst the stars and come back down to Earth. Yesterday morning I was born again into this distant Pandorian world. Fed by a satiated Kathy a plate of malformed scrambled eggs, cardboard bacon and a brown coloured liquid which might...
