NIGHT RIDER OR UFO

fishing meeting last night so,of up to the acorn at burncross,nice leisurly ride up whiteley lane.when you think your the only daft bugger on an unlit country lane in the pitch black its comforting to see a bright light coming up behind as slow as you, ufo was my first thought,cant be some one on a bike at this time of night, the light he ommitted was imense made my led light look like a candle in a jar.as he overtook me,I stepped up my pace it was so nice to have the road iluminated ,want one will have to talk to my financier julie,top of the hill i was cast back into darkness as my leading light turned left and i turn right.

at the acorn a welcome drink and a sponser donation from judith thankyou very much.now that it getting down to weeks rather than months away its amazing how many people are actualy taking intrest or is it just my excitment showing through when they talk to me about it

cough cough cough

well that's another course of antibiotics done,i seem to be fine till i start riding the its cough cough cough.it don't seam so bother me its just annoying for any one round me,if i keep of the milk it does help keep the mucus production down.

new shoes are bedding in,wore them yesterday and they seam to be loosening up,mind i did smother them in dubbin sat night,might try dubbin on the saddle tried everything else and in the absence of a volunteer to break the saddle in desperate measures required

panniers back from being altered will have to try pack all luggage in trying to prevent taking trailer if poss save on weight,going to purchase a bar bag for the right hand side plus extra bottle carriers for tool buddy etc.

leather ouch

new saddle ouch

new shoes ouch

after Sundays ride went out on recumbent last night,the seat was lovely to sit on so just to prove i am a masochist i decide to put new shoes on(very nice shoes bought by julie and gemma for Christmas)let hope they break in quicker than the saddle

twas a bit drafty

Saturday saw me running round cycle shops looking for brooks prof hide,using road bike sunday and new saddle bought last year ain't no sofa,desperate measures,(it didn't help)

Sunday morning up with the lark and of to the meet at millhouses cafe,cheated thought took van as far as millhouses,after drinks of tea we all mounted and agreed to regroup at the top ,owler bar roundabout.we all set of at a nice steady pace climbing through totley but as we moved into open country,boy did it get hard legs were burning and the wind was in our face,nearing the top it got stronger and stronger,resulting in a couple of stumbles as the wind blew two riders from there saddles,lucky to get their feet down quick,at the top 4 of our party decided it was to dangerous to carry on and return down the hill,four of us battled on having to pedal down hill to baslow is wrong,cafe on the green was a welcome cuppa and a decision to re route as we had lost our leader(one of the returnees)it was a joint decision to head for grindleford and on to hathersage ,were we had another cafe stop.after refueling i decided to head up the surprise towards my van,the others carried on round to return vie moscar,
surprise certainly expecting a tail wind home it didn't materialise instead i found myself battling wind yet again until fox house were by i was blown all the way back to millhouses

but even though twas a bit drafty i still enjoyed my day out.quite proud of the fact i battle on rather than surrendering to the wind

pale rider

does this world revolve around me?

i remember headmaster edwards from hinde house in a morning assembly saying"you can only prove that you are real and every body else could be a figment of your imagination"

you think about something it happens!

i read somewhere that pale rider was fast becoming someones favorate drink(never heard of it before),then today at work we got into a conversation about real ale pubs and low and behold we are talking about pale rider!
is it in my head or is it real?

at the begining of 2011 didnt feel like celabrating the new year,so am i just having a crap year because thats what im imagining,
so if i think of happy joyful things will it get better.do i control my destoney as edwards hinted.

i dream of winning the lotto, but only on weeks when i dont buy a ticket. is this were im going wrong,should i be planning my dreams

drival am i getting good at it,who knows, who cares,i think the only people who read my drival are the people who know and care for me anyway,or should i have carers and a sleeveless jacket,dreams do keep coming back lately,perhaps i should try not dreaming

so thanks for looking one day it may actualy get intresting.

bye for now all my imaginary followers
