Long story...we're going to deliver some supplies to Dan's inlaws they just had a baby ..premature by four months ..they were on their way for shopping or something and she started contraction ..they are at a hospital 2.5 hours away...so it's a good excuse for a bike ride... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Cooling off after a round trip to Costa with my youngest. Most expensive chain lube I didn’t get. Only popped out for lube but they never had any so then the Costa monkey was in want. To be fair she is good company but it always seems to cost me. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a specific brand of chain lube that you were after? I should have shares in Costa! Often the only place to get a coffee in the hospitals as a visitor when I was working! Used to cost me a fortune, especially when I had a colleague with me! Somehow it always seemed to be down to me to buy the coffees and buns! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit whenever we get a coffee at work the clinician is always in the chair to pay, but to be fair they do earn 4 x what I do. I don't take the piss but that's just how it is with Kernow Health. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long gone are the old WRVS shops, where you could get a coffee and bun for a couple of quid! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I usually like the Silkolene stuff but don't mind the Banana branded stuff either. Looks like Amazon is going to be the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, yeah, for sure the coffee is better in the Costas, but a couple of coffees a day and you're looking at serious money! I did actually resort to making some coffee in a flask and taking that with me to drink in the car eventually. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am like that, I always carry a mug and PG tips bags with me as the hospital kitchen stuff is awful. Free to us but still terrible stuff. Floor sweepings is the joke but not far from the truth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Well, it has been pissing it down all day today, but we certainly needed some rain! The forecast for the week is looking pretty similar too. So, no bike action for me this week by the looks of it. Then we're over in blighty for a bit over a week, visiting family, so no bike action then either! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Met Gary at 09.00 this morning and got home at 21.00 tonight so in 12 hours you would think we'd ridden about 500 miles but no we only covered 120 miles spent most of the time talking It was good to catch up with him probably been over five years since we last rode together he's 61 and retired all he does is cycle exercise and ride his motorbike jammy git. And only managed to take one photo all day 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
