A grand week for me – better than the weather was over last weekend. The Summer League saw another less than summer like night with a very strong breeze making the back straight seem twice as long as usual and a few spots of rain every lap threatening to spoil the whole night. But despite that the youngsters turned out as usual and zoomed round the course with big smiles on their faces whilst we oldies rattled round with grimaces firmly in place. Well done the little people.

Last weekend saw me travelling the country in pursuit of another sportive and I had a decent enough ride on Sunday despite the lousy weather.

This weekend sees no races, no sportive but more importantly the Forres Cycling Club BBQ at Roseisle – warm beer, burnt meat, stinking of smoke – and all the time wondering about the salmonella risk from that chicken leg – why do we do it every summer? Also, why is it that blokes suddenly become cooks when put in front of a fire with a grid on it, how does that miraculous transformation take place? Or is it something directly related to the amount of warm beer added to the bloke before he gets to play with the firelighters?

Anyway off to Asda's for some of their 2p sausages and savers burgers - 100% grissle with added lard mmmmmmmmmm yummy
