gas and pulling 20 mph into the wind with great ease. Then I got help up a
tad by these roadworks.

After that delay caused by drivers, I pinned it at 25mph, despite the wind.
About a mile from home I eased off and rode up the 70ft high "hill" back
home again.

Well it all *sounds good, but is this as good as it gets or have you
managed quicker(roadworks excluded) or easier?

Yes - much quicker but that was due to a 50mph tailwind, not because I
ate some fruit before I set off.

How about fruit, cabbage and beans to give you a 200mph
tailwind? * *;-)- Hide quoted text -

I don't really suffer from flatulence and in any case, it is coming up
to summer and in summer you get a tail wind on most days.
In the cool mornings, I get the prevailing westerlies which blow me to
work and then after the Sun has a worked its magic on the North Sea, I
get an incoming Easterly sea breeze to blow me home. Good job my
commute is not the other way around.

Mrs M asked me to enquire as to your current medical condition and how
you got to be there.
Plus, what sort of mobility do you have now? - I did say I'd ask, but
if you want to tell me to keep my nose out, I will understand.



ffs - have you heard - someone has invented email.

I doubt if I considered it completely I would want to discuss it at a
length which would bring full understanding in the public domain. It
may be that a some point I will discuss it in private with you to the
depth that it deserves. When is not forseeable, but my thoughts are
that it is probable.

Ye Gods, I never though we'd see Mason admit that he normally wastes his
time posting messages that nobody ever reads. And that he's a troll.

No problem - I understand.

carrot cake and tinned mandarins before I set off home at 1500 today. One
more day tomorrow then a weekend of walking beckons again.

Don't give up. You are currently suffering from newsgroup addiction
which will wear off eventually and you can then post to newsgroups
normally. Meanwhile you are doing a great job of combating the
motorists who infest this cycling newsgroup.

Maybe too your enthusiastic exercising is making you a bit restless?

Thanks - at least some people appreciate the hard work I put in.

I had two hours of hard hill walking yesterday followed by four hours
of gardening, including building a rockery which involved humping
great slabs of plum slate stones. Six quid a rock they were as well.

Plus I had to fell a tree and cut off all of the branches and dig up
loads of turf. That is why I did not appear yesterday after 0600.
