Oooooh I do love some irony

[Simon Davey]

Mrs Fiddlesticks is most accommodating, and deserves her own medal.

Don't give Hoggs any ideas - the T-Shirt budget is all gone

[Simon Davey]

Whoooooooop......

 

Got my first two tags today.

The first was via the roughest roads imaginable, and was very testing, but actually made it a great ride.

I was questioned by one of the villagers at Ashdon, "And who might you be?" I think she regretted asking as I put on my posh village accent and excitedly whipped out my number, then trying not to behave like a school boy who'd just scored his first goal, I explained what I was doing.

Transpires she'd hoped I was from the council checking the state of the roads.  Oh the irony.

 

So, how do I work out the points thing?

Nice pics @Simon Davey 

 

You can edit your score in your profile. I keep a copy in a spreadsheet too.

congratulations! you've also entered the unofficial points tally hall of fame  which generally is looking pretty close at the moment, although it does look like @Fiddlesticks has got his throttle stuck open with a massive early lead

[Simon Davey]

I've got the bug now, just need the time and weather on my side. 

It's great to have a goal whilst riding, much better than aiming for nowhere.

@teo63 ooh the Ambleside bridge house! Bonus Hoggs points for reminiscing as we used to go there on holiday when I was a wee piglet

fliddles where was that singing tree? I appreciate by it and horror’d at it at the same time some how

@RideWithStyles it's up above Burnley, Lancashire. You could actually ride down the footpath right up to it but I'm not such a hooligan. Ye, it's a bit eerie, but less so than all those windmills around that area.

 

Replying on here as t'other thread is just for the pics.

Sorry, forgot about that section.
Thanks!
Cant tell me you wasn’t tempted to use it as a slapaphone (what tune would you play?) or shout/fart down a tube!

Wow you`ve moved a fair bit !

Last time I looked you were nearer Huntingdon than Streatham lol.

Think you meant A!/A14 junction? 

Cheers

Crikey, some serious milage over the weekend chaps, I'm not going to mention my measly 37 miles......
