I don’t think on a mobike at whatever pace suits the mood, in whatever direction takes your whim even compares. The piping hot Cullen Skink at the Green Welly Stop wouldn’t have tasted half as good without the incessant rain, cold feet and time to enjoy the warmth

Ooh well no need to understate the power of Wales and Scotland. The lands end to John o’Groats recce I did was, and still is one of my favourite ever trips. Like another world of beauty. Look forward to hearing about it.. or your ride to Devon

Bought a small Givi tank bank as my sw motech one went missing. It’s ok but then the motech one turned up, I’d forgotten how much better it is compared to the Givi. A trip or two where? Do tell.

Yep I can. I’m trying to do three weeks worth of work in one week so I can leave the UKs sunny pleasant weather to catch a plane on a bank holiday weekend that’s predicted to be the busiest since 2019 in order to get to Spain where there’s thunder, lightning, torrential rain and lower temps. That’ll be a fun ride through the mountains Or will it? It could be another ‘we haven’t bothered to charge the battery’ debacle at airport parking and another walk to an expensive hotel to sleep in the clothes I travelled in before a nice rainy ride the next day. Whoop whoop let’s see what unfolds

In the last chance saloon for getting all my jobs done today so I’m giving all my mobile tech to my son to hold onto until I’ve finished, yep I don’t want to do the jobs so much that’s what I’m resorting to Laters.

His pained expression looks like he’s trying to get some relief from his hideously shrunken clothes.

Yep “and now is the time for drinking” He was originally a rejected illustration for a brewery that was then used by the Michelin brothers. Theres a great poster of somewhere of him driving a convertible and drinking out of a champagne coupe There was one poster suggesting a drink if you felt tired would liven you back up for driving

What else do you call a bunch of unrelated misfits clustered in one spot for no apparent reason apart from random?

A lot of the time one of us has to be here. I quite often fly over and ride to Salobrena on my tod and then Mr Slowly joins me when whatever annoying thing thats getting in the way is dealt with. This time it’s all his delightful relatives arriving. Honestly it’ll be a shitstorm, it always is, so I’m out of here before my run away mouth tells them where to get off

So long as I don’t end up seeing things I can never unsee

Have you read the history of Bibendum? Brilliant stuff, he was used to advertise drinking alcohol when you drive to keep the chills away

They’d probably be more worried for Pete.

All of June but leave towards the end to ride back to the UK, have to look up the dates Also have to check when Mr Slowlys about because he and the rest of the mob will have a fit if they think I’m off to Spain on my tod to meet up with randoms from the internet at an abandoned mine. Now I’ve typed it, it does sound..

I am in Spain in June.

Besides Pete only needs to meet me once, he won’t want to do it again

Depends where it is, if it’s vaguely interesting and if my rattly tin can bike will make it there

Jeeesus Christ they look like they lost their banjos and wtf is the one on the end in the red trousers doing?!

Where is it?

Lighten up.

If you’re considering a travel towel I can heartily recommend a Turkish towel like these. They’re like a large thin tea towel so they pack down into nothing and dry fast. Unlike those microfibre jobbies that aren’t big enough or don’t dry you well enough. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Large-Turkish-Peshtemal-Bath-Towel/dp/B07MV5Y65R/ref=sr_1_8?crid=VDBRSUXW8XAU&keywords=Turkish+towel&qid=1684964425&sprefix=turkish+towel%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-8

Bloody Nora.

When he speaks I’m reminded of the sketch when Richie from Bottom thinks he’s lost his nob in a blow up doll and says “ah Monica.. aah Monica… harMonica doodlidoot doodlidoot” I’ll get mi coat.

Who takes over from Tina?

Nooo Tina’s dead?
