Up early, feeling knackered. Took pooch out. Went for a ten and half mile run at about 8:30 - stayed cool so no worries. Took Phil's old bed and some more old tat to the recycling. Various gardening jobs then bbq tea with me mum and dad coming over.

Up early. Took Phil to fetch a tractor as he'd left his keys at work on Sunday (genius). Took pooch up town to fetch papers. Loaded bike up and went to Cycle2Work. Endomondo didn't start unfortunately (my fault for not being patient). In the office and at my desk for 8:30 though so good going in my view! Fecking Blackberry paused endomondo pretty much as soon as I set off which is a real shame as I came home a different way finding a neat little route that misses out most of the crappy traffic that clogs up Somercotes - instead of turning off Birchwood Way I go right to the end of it (not the best surface but such is life) then take a little path that joins up to Birchwood Lane. I also went down past Butterley Reservoir and made the mistake of going down Butterley Lane which is not really good enough for a road bike. Went through Heage on the way back and had a climb to the top of Belper then loads of braking into Belper - still need to find a more gradual decline on the way back - think the A610 is going to be the answer!

Up at 5am - thunder and lightening. Thought Lily would be freaked out but she's been pretty okay with it all, really. Fetched papers - supposed to be playing golf with Mike at work but think it's likely to be cancelled!!! Sure enough no golf mullarky. Such is life. Got some stuff ready for Friday - all good.

Up early to get Phil up. Took dog out. Got dressed, took little dog up town to get papers. Put her in her cage. Got bike loaded up and then road in from Belper as I like to do. Really pleased this morning as did it in 45 minutes which is quickest I've ever done it. Super Cool.
Got up the Pentrich Hill in just over six minutes as well so pleased with that!
Uploaded it to Strava and it showed 4 PBs on various segments:
Back home pretty much the usual way - just went round Bichwood Way and up the little path to avoid much of the traffic that crawls along between B&Q and the little roundabout in Somercotes.

Up early. Getting roofbox on the motor. Took dog out. Took missus car' over to Stoke on Trent for 8am service. Mooched round Stoke a bit. Got home too missus, lucy and the pooch to Wales for a weekend of camping. Good weather, well behaved hound ace, and we're going back next week - can't wait!

Funny night's sleep in the tent but such is life. Breakfast, walking the pooch. Went to Penhros Country Park for a good walk with the dog. Should have gone kayaking - it was like a millpond but that's the way it goes!
