Friday evenings...are to be enjoyed

and the best way of doing that is to playcards safe in the knowledge that austrialia are really on the back foot and England are firing on all four (or 12 if you like aston martins) cylinders. Anyway that is really what Iv been doing all evening.

However I would now like to tell you all a little sumthing about a certain man we all know...his name is Tim...and I went cycling with him last wednesday...now before this outing timothy had been boasting that he was so good...and that his bike was tonnes better than mine...so imagin my surprise as I walk out of chester station with my £400 bike and meet a lad with a heap of rust and two wheels, who claims to be Timothy Harman...well he quickly explains that his bike is seven years old and has been through a lot of things...I hasten to add that one of these things is crashing to the ground while her owner tries (unsucessfully) to change the volume on his Minidisc player! (I'll leave you to explain that one Harman) anyway so after making a short stop at tesco's to buy some snickers (escencials) we head off into deepest darkest (I want to say peru but the correct word will be) Chesire. Anyway...we get of to a great start reaching Beeston Castle in good time...this is where I discover a important fact, Tim don't like hills!!!! I will expound on that fact later...so after a brief restbite at the castle gates we head off to find the Ice cream Farm Timothy has told me about...so we get there after a short pedal...nice place, good food only one bad thing tho...you pay to see cows being milked!!!! I mean why would I want to pay to see cows being milked when I can go to devon and watch cows being milked for free and I can probably even milk them myself!!! anyway we set off and come to a cross roads where my initial thought was to go straight on yet the signpost suggested we should go left...so we follow the sign post...and you know what the sign post must have be turned 90 degrees as we ended up not where the sign said...anyway after a brief glimpse at the map we're off again heading directly where we want to be going...and anyway along a nice country road I explore the interesting fact I found out earlier...Timothy harman will race onto the bottom of hills and fade before he gets to the top...allowing me to overtake him and reach the summit before him!!!! and he had to stop at the top!!! Ha the great cyclist isn't so great after all it will seem...anyway we set of again and make our way back to his house at a average speed of 15.6mph not bad considering we walked through the centre of chester...oh and by the time we reached his house we had taken many what Tim called "map breaks" actually it was so tim could get his breath back!!! Anyway I hope you enjoyed reading about our adventures, there are many other funny things which I would love to expound on but I haven't got time as its 11:30pm and I should be in bed!

Cya tomorrow!

Atcherly for your amusment Sam, I have resently, as in yesterday, had to tape up my bikes haddle bars with masking tape so i could ride, on it.

Yesterday I went on my bike, and after that appalling afort on those hills I have been practicing and I aim to practice some more so that naxt time we go on the hills I shoot off and carry on shooting on, which I normally do, wih a bit of slowing, but for some reson that day it did ot work for me.. It has always been my tactic aggainst hills to attack them, and somedays it just does not work!

Well it twas fun, and well we can safly say chester was what trashed the avrage, and that wind comin home did not help iver, if we had not had that we would have raced home, but yeah 15.5 over 50 miles is not to bad realy, considering niver of us had been on our bikes in a while and we had both just come back off holidays which I don't know about yours Sam bu I had been very busy on so was wecked the next few days after mine.

Show I go on with my exuses?

I have more real ones, but none of my other ones are atcherly any good, I've justed used my all real resons for why you were better than me. apart from the fact that you are shorter and finner than me so up the hills you are going to have less weight to carry with you, which trust me makes alot of diffrence when your tired.
