Did I mention that I'm in the middle of an hilarious book right now about an American in England. Writer name is Bill Bryson and his new book is called- The Road To Little Dribbling. I must have been up till four last night.It brought me to tears. When you're feeling low- give it a try-like with your bicycle rehabilitation. Of course if laughing hurts you might want to wait a bit.

LOL - take my word for it. . .no amount of crocheted seat covers are enough! (If only someone could figure out how to install a hammock-style seat on a bicycle!!!)

Sounds like other than the inevitable ACHES of a 50K bike ride (31 miles - are you insane?????) it sounds like it was quite a good time:-)

I hope you made arrangement to have breakfast delivered tomorrow - walking around the kitchen is going to be misery!!!! ;-)

    LOL! Nope, I'm still the maid around here today! On the plus side though, Shaun did cook dinner for me last night which made a lovely change :)
    Fortunately, I'm not aching too much this morning....damn that seat though!
    best wishes, Debs x

Hi there,
Try a little 'memory' foam under the crocheted seat cover would
really feel good on the 'ossanominata', just one more term for
your list to equal 'bum'. LOL
I so enjoyed your little ride.... the poem was lovely, the alliteration
gave it the quality of a good write, birthday/bike...cheerful/chatter...
tasty/treats..
:-) Carolyn

Well good for you. I used to do long rides too so I know how challenging they can be - especially the first one. You did well to finish it - try to remember that tomorrow when you can't move lol. I just got a new trike. Was riding it today and my foot slipped out of my shoe - the shoes lock into the pedals so the shoe was fine - and I ran over my own foot lol - I might not be able to walk tomorrow either

No way! 50 KM? You rock? Well, you said you wanted more exercise and this one is actually fun! :) You two seem to have more fun lately, which also makes me happy!
This is a fun poem with the inevitable let down at the end - but I bet you felt proud! :)

I sympathise with you Debra, I've never been been on an extended bike run, except maybe in the Gym, and that probably doesn't really count, but well done, nicely composed my friend, blessings, Roy

LOL sounds like a lot of work, but maybe some fun was had. Good job on your poem. I enjoyed reading it. The words and picture make a nice pair. Thanks for the notes [British and Texas talk re not even close]. [egg butty?? ]
