    Right. As geoff wants to sit in a pub in the evening rather than ride to
    the seaside, are there any other takers for a "ride somewhere, have lunch,
    ride back" type affair.

    Suggest a day & meeting place in the Welsh Marches (anywhere near the
    England/Wales border between say Chepstow & Leominster)

    Oh. I would probably have suggested further West.

    Abergwesyn Pass / Aberystwyth Mountain Road / Elan Valley area.

    the intention would be to meet on the border and ride to the coast along
    one of those. It's not far, like.

    Rhayader would be a possible meeting place en route as there is a decent
    café (Strand) in the middle of town by the war memorial, which has
    convenient reserved bike parking on the hashed lines.

    Sounds like a plan.
    Yup, I know the one. Stopped there a few times.

    is this just the seasonal "it's getting warm, nobody wants insulation" type
    thing like last year or have you fallen out properly i.e. considering legal
    stuff as per the post a few days ago?

    Is your summer job in the bike dealer going this year or do they have a
    shortage of stock like the Jap car makers?

    Sears Tower?

    Do you not get it, lads? The UKRMers are the Black Mikes of Employment.
    And Maltese are the Black Mikes of UKRM. And Lozzo is the Black Mike of
    Malta. So say it once, say it loud: I'm Black Mike and I'm proud.

    I'm hoping that lots of people are working on the Bank Holidays.
    Tomorrow, I've got all of my holiday shopping to do, I need to get my
    hair cut and I've a couple of small DIY jobs that might necessitate a
    trip to Homebase.

    I've had to come in to the office today and it's pretty much deserted.

    Wish I could say the same for outside - just walked past the Tower and
    the tourists are like slow-moving confused locusts. There's fucking
    thousands of them.

    It's certainly quiet here. Tube was moderately quiet as well.
    It gets worse. SWMBO works just past the south side of Tower Bridge. The
    tourists can make walking along it virtually impossible.
