    I found it more scary than fun! Kept worrying that I'd fall over or crash into a railing in the place I was cycling. Kind of exhilirating, though!

    cycling somewhere with loads of traffic or whatever sounds scary but off somewhere scenic sounds fun!

    There isn't really anywhere scenic where I live, unfortunately. There is one really big park, but there are lakes and stuff all around it and I don't feel confident enough to not fall in while cycling!

    Might drag the bike up to Galway and cycle my hangover off in a few weeks :D

    Not that I ever have to explain myself to people who don't know me - g'wan then..... Sunday is the only day I get to see my aul man (he works 12 hour days, 6 days a week basically)so if there is a match on - we watch it locally! And at the moment more so than usual I am needed at home - for reasons I won't divulge on a public forum!

    Good enough for you?

    I was up early (well, early-ish) this morning doing gardening stuff. Then moved some logs into the shed. And then I took the right fairing off the bike and did some mechanical stuff.

    It's been a manly day. :cool:

    I've peeled a mountain of carrots and potatoes because I promised to cook dinner for all my family, who came over to watch the match. Regretting it already, especially since the oven blew so I can't even cook the chicken and ham properly!

    On the plus side, I'm going for a nice long bath now, followed by another bike ride until my legs scream at me. :D

    ^^ Saw it on facebook earlier. Got a laugh out of it.

    Fair play to the lads in the picture. I wouldn't have been terribly keen to get between the riot police and whoever was facing off with them.

    Buy a more comfortable saddle. Also I think you can buy cycling shorts with cushioning, seriously! :)

    Ah, if I had of known! I stayed in with my aunt and it was best we didn't go to the pub. We're both quite foul mouthed when watching football. :pac:

    :cool: Yes, we should.

    My bike has a puncture. Was looking forward to a cycle today. Boo. Anyone know if the bike shop on Bath Avenue is still there? Google is my friend. :D

    I decided to learn to cycle, because I hadn't cycled properly in over 10 years, and tend to fall off the bike every time I try.

    It was a success! I only managed to do about a mile and was nearly crying with the pain in my @rse after, but it was still a success! Methinks I'll be stealing my little sister's bike for a few weeks and building up that distance. :)

    I love it! I had a severely minor accident as a child and was afraid to cycle, but was in San Francisco when I was 21 and rented a bike. The old saying you never forget how to ride a bike is semi true, took me an hour or so to remember! Left my friends go off ahead of me cause I was slowing them down, they were shocked a few hours later when I arrived at the destination, they thought I would give up! But I loved it. Some pain in my bum the next day though :pac:

    I don't cycle much though cause I'm really scared of the cars on the road :o Only been cycling a few times since and it was when I was camping and there were nice cycling paths.

    Wish I was more confident!

    Oh about the bum! My dad does suuuuuuper long cycles and triathalons and iron man things (puts me to shame!) And has special cycling shorts with a padded bum!

    I am crying and laughing at the same time here, something very wrong with me!

    Absolutely sickened by that match.

    On the plus side, I found a club worse than coppers! I think all the local girls date guys in college so when some fresh meat wanders in they get a little excited. I love this place,I don't wanna leave. :pac:

    Aaaand now I am going to run away quickly from the thread before Maggie kills me for annoying him again. Even more than normal. :D

    Good night (morning?) everyone!

    Is there any chance we can make Monday's illegal? Or at least make having to work on a Monday illegal?

    If/when successful, we can work on extending that to the rest of the week. :pac:
