You mean that you didn't think about moving him on to something like this.

Note to self: Check back wheel is fastened on correctly before starting next time. :)

Oh no!!! HHH, I am not sure whether to laugh or cry. That sounds kind of like when I forgot to reconnect my brakes and cycled into my garden wall. The inevitability was the hardest part! I hope that you are not hurt? Maybe we should post photos of our colourful bruises.:)

Kisses kept are wasted.

Sadly it is the way my brain appears to be wired. It just cried out to look for a dog on bicycle on Google Images! :D

Well, I think we all appreciate your brain on this thread HHH, you have made me laugh a lot. Thanks.:)

Please laugh. I don't think any damage was done to either me, the bike, or the tumble dryer. How far from the wall were you when you realised that you hadn't reconnected the brakes? It sounds funny now, but I hope it didn't hurt.

Was the inevitability harder than the wall? :)

Don't worry. I'm on the mend now. Just thinking how I'm going to fit a recce of the AW in before race day. I think I might take an afternoon off work next month.

Attachment 2926

Harry's brain is an awesome device
a master of fellrunning haiku
rumour states it runs on peas and rice
so dear harry don't go changing
your frontal, temporal or occipital regions
we love your brain just the way it is
and the stories it tells are indeed legion!

and on that bombshell frecks is off to bed

na night all!
