I was going to delete this ^ thinking it had no place in a cheery thread but then I thought, no ... perhaps knowing that CM is having a bad day might be enough to cheer others up

Nothing too bad I hope Tim.

Home. Liquid therapy. Better.

Let my fury make others cheer more sweet by contrast

We're watching crap telly with a couple of beers and a chinese, and tomorrow we're off to the Peak district (Bakewell) for a decent walk and pub lunch, then stopover in the van, walk, then I think I can ride home. Weather permitting it should be a perfect weekend.

Well I've just finished my final essay for the year so feeling pretty smug and going to look at treating myself to some quality riding and bivy time

Just was in the beautiful town of Solothurn and visited one of Switzerland's bigger bike exhibitions.
I'm going to get myself a long and fast 29er with some 150 mm rear suss soon. Tested some hot hot candidates on a fun little DH section.

Met good people behind little brands like Stoll and Bold.

Good way to start the weekend. By all the testing and talking I forgot beer though. Soon home, soon beer.

Well, I had a furniture removal Tuesday, back down the road Wednesday am for 2.5 days cleaning of old house for hand back and won't get 'home' until tomorrow evening (and there's a whole load of unpacking still to be done...

If it's still nice out on Sunday I'm breaking out the Sherpa for a couple of hours riding. And then I guess I better make sure I'm ready for starting my new job on Monday.

Cheery Friday my arse...

ETA: drinking wine from a tumbler, man I'm so classy....

Spending the weekend camping in a field outside Killin with the family then I get to cycle home on Sunday

It was a very cheery Friday thanks, I ended it in the pub in the sun!
Happy weekend folks (And top wheelie from Tom Seip )

Another cheery Friday here, sitting having a pint on the way home from work, BYOB burger night at a local cafe with friends tonight and then hopefully tick another bothy off the list tomorrow night

Road ride tonight to watch the tour Series

Wifey and mini-voodoo away this weekend, so just me and puppy-voodoo

Work tomorrow, take out (coke and hookers too?!) and a long ride on Sunday

Jeezo, that's more cheery than I was expecting!

Another trip to Cramond island for me. Not on the bike but walking over the​ causeway with Craig, a friend's 7 year old son and his first wild camp. Lucy my stepdaughters black Labrador is also coming along, .

Train tickets brought for Jennride. Good job I went for the single change each way, or there would be six more

30 km ride to Rugby station to check the route. 45 km ride back with an extended canal pub stop whilst a heavy shower passed through

It's Friday and I'm working my last day for 10 days

... and the scab's just come off my leg* that I received after dropping a running grinder on it some weeks ago




*of course I was wearing shorts, it's summer.

More importantly how's the grinder?

It's sunny today!

Grinder's fine

I have new nail varnish and it perfectly matches my jump bike

"Grinder's fine"
Thought you'd be more of a tinder man.
What's the livestock version called, bleater?

Odd, how straightaway both you and Jase associated 'grinder' with a homosexual dating site rather than an industrial tool.

Well he did spend a lot of time on his phone in Spain
Industrial tool scores pretty well on inuendo bingo as well.

Two new orders received in the business today and Helen's just txted requesting a pub meeting at 5.30pm, bonus!
