Fifty 45 Posted August 9, 2020 On 08/08/2020 at 16:54, Feedthewolf said: I know, Winky! I was only joshing myself. I'm up to 140 miles now; went for a lush ride around prime Broadland this morning with @Fifty, who I didn't even know had an account on here until today! Even though he's mostly a lurker, I'm calling him out anyway as it was a real pleasure to ride with him. Back to solo riding tomorrow, and I'm thinking of going up to Reepham on the Marriott's Way... would be nice to get 'off road' for a bit. ***INDECENCY WARNING*** Today's ride was a little tougher, and I'm a lot sorer 'down there' than I have been so far. It's not the plums so much, but the areas around my 'sit bones'... I've used body butter and medicated talc... would an ice pack do any good down there, do you think? Thanks for letting me tag along @Feed-the-wolf - well worth the 530 alarm to get the dog fed and walked before heading over to Norfolk. Hope all is good to go again in the next day or so after today’s adventures. Got a few aches myself after yesterday’s football return at 40 but would hope to be able to join you for one more ride at least before you hit the magic 500 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got the bike fixed close to closing time today so I'll take it out for a test ride in the morning and then you can get back out on the road 🙂🙂 Oh, you absolute legend! You've got my number, so just let me know when it's ready and I'll be in to collect it and make up for lost time. Hope you feel like hanging around and becoming part of the Pinkun community. Have a pint on me at some point soon! OTBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know I had an imposter! 🙂 Looks like I'll be back on the road tomorrow thanks to the sterling work of @Farke life... that's my extra day burnt up, so no more latitude for ridiculous ****-ups. Hope we can ride again before the month is out, and hope you decide to hang out on here a little bit more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a bit late to the donation party for which I apologise and have just rectified. It's been so long since I got on a bike I'd probably need stabilisers. My lad did LEJOG ten years ago so he clearly got the inspiration from yours truly 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted August 13, 2020 Right! I'm off out for a ride with The 12th Man now. They're a brilliant Norwich-based campaign for raising men's mental health awareness, and they do tons of sterling work in the local community.

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Today: rode 20 miles, refereed a football match, rode home. Our bunch of misfit veterans somehow came up against a team featuring Holty, Hucks, Roy Bevis, Scott Howie and a bunch of other quality local footballers... we did better than Barcelona, though, as we only lost 6-1. Hucks very kindly signed one of my old shirts, which I'm auctioning to raise money towards my total. Bidding ends at 6pm next Sunday, and you can bid here (high bid currently at £60): If you're not on Twitter and you'd like to bid, please send me a PM on here and I'll post your bid myself. Cheers!

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Video here: If you don't have seven minutes to spare (I waffle a lot), here's the rub: I'm doing 600 miles instead of 500 (at least). New URL: tiny.cc/colo600. On Sunday 30th, I'll be doing a minimum 50-miler, with route to be determined by other people. If you want me to ride past your house/office, or if you'd like to ride with me for a few miles*, just send me a DM on here (or Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram). *Only if you live in Norfolk.
