Rocky on a bike

[return of the mac]

Just started training for an 80 mile cycle :o . Along an old railway line running from aberdeen to ballater. Did 35 miles tonight in 4 hours and im exhausted. Anyone up to similar silly challenges? ::)

[undercarriage plan]

Nooooooooooooooo!! But well done you!! Get tired looking at shoe laces....  :-\Lottie

[wardy]

I hope Mac that the sleepers had been taken up.  I can imagine you juddering along for four hours  ;D

Lottie   I'm with you - I can move my eyes  ::)

[aquilegia]

eek - sounds painful! Bike saddles are much too small. Give me a horse saddle any day!

How long do you have to train? good luck!

[return of the mac]

Haha yes the sleepers are long gone, its a path for cyclists and horse riders now. Going to go for it at the end of the month or in october.

[aquilegia]

Faint!

OMG - that's so soon.

Now I like challenges, but...

(If I was closer, I'd join you on a horse - let him/her do the hard work and I can enjoy the scenery!)

I am with you in spirit on this one Mac, leave the girlies to paint their nails (he he), while you get out there and do some serious stuff.

Do you intend to keep the cycling going after this ride, I presume so?

All the best, go go go!

Derekthefox  :D

[aquilegia]

May I be the first "girlie" to object Derek! (I don't paint my nails, Mr Aqui does it for me, when I can be bothered to do them, which hasn't been for two years now!)

[wardy]

Nails!  I wonder how many of us on here ave nails.  Can't remember last time I grew a decent one.  I have hands like a navvy.  I went out t'other day and thought I'd wear a skirt.  Shock horror I know.  My husband had forgot I had legs  ;D  So I thought I'd put some tights on as my legs are so flippin bruised and battered from lotty activity, plus my knees were a very dodgy muddy colour and I couldn't get rid of it even when scrubbed with Vim!  Where was I? Oh yes back to the story. So anyway there I was putting me tights on and rippppppppppp - as my hands were so rough.  I will really have to stop damaging my pinkies in this fashion and adopt more girlie pursuits  ;D

[Bionic Wellies]

The image of you srubbing your knees with vim will last a long time :)

-- shudddderrrrrrrrr

[Derekthefox]

My little jest ladies, am I forgiven?  :D

Never been one for girlie girls myself - all nails and hair.  I think that's one of the joys of this place.  Nobody who constantly has muck under their finger nails can be considered a girlie girl. ;D

By the way - Good luck Mac.  Fancy joining you myself - love to spend time on my bike  :o but I fear that the cycle ride oop north might knacker me before we got going.

[Heldi]

Wow brilliant Mac! And here was me thinking how good I was doing 20 lengths in the baths last evening...after not swimming for 4 years. I feel a bit feeble now hee hee!

I have nails. I wear clumpy boots by day and wee sparkley high heel shoes by night. Well not every night. Only the nights when I go out on the razzle.( not very often  :( )  I drink pints though   ;) :o :-*

[redimp]

Clumpy boots and pints eh?

[Heldi]

Whats wrong with clumpy boots and pints?  Here, I'll show you my latest boot look. I think I balance the more rugged pursuits with a touch of girlyness and afterall I do hold out my pinky when drinking my pint!

[Derekthefox]

Ha ha ha I love em Heldi!

Derekthefox  :D

[Heldi]

Thanks Derek. I love em too! Not sure about me legs on that shot though (cringe).

[Diana]

I'm really sorry, but pink booties can't be described as clumpy ;)

I'm with you on the pints though :)

[redimp]

My local is an excellent Bateman's Pub so if anybody fancies coming round for a pint in their clumpy boots, please do!

MIL was from Lincolnshire originally + OH keeps threatening to take me there, so maybe!
