We could be hereo's

Some of us are super hero's,

some are super and others just fabulous. As usual, I'm just adequate.

Comedy carpet

Pier head to Pier to Pier

The good weather recently has been ace for riding and for going the seaside so i thought I'd combine the two. I took the track bike and headed out from the pierhead and went up the Formby bypass and got to Southport pier pretty easy as the wind was very gentle. From Southport pier you could see Blackpool off in the distance. After a quick breakfast I headed off out towards Preston. the flat roads and cycle paths are pretty fast and the wind stayed very calm. Preston to Blackpool took me away from the main roads and kept me close to the coast. The route stayed flat and fast and I could see the Tower again from the North Promenade approach. Black prom has had a major facelift, art instalations and new sea defences are all great but Blackpool remains the same, stag and hen do's are out and about at 11am. The comedy carpet was a good distraction from me being a social sneering snob at the lurkers. After a good mooch I bought fish and chips for £2 and a whole bunch of bars of rock and headed home.

Strava Route

http://app.strava.com/activities/66373470
Last year while with sandy and Taj i discovered that you can hold the internet in your hand. It can also exist inside a mobile phone and it will then follow you about and then at what ever time you choose you can ask the internet where you have been and it will know. This is all dependent on having your phone with you, which i rarely do. King of hip stuff and man cave dweller, Tank told me about this Strava thing and with his help I have now been about to show you my fave bike route. I don't fully understand how it all works but it say that there have been 123 people down the shaft of my, 'root' and that i'm 102 fastest. I'm lovin the interweb phone thing cos it is so clever.

Sun

It's taken till May this year for my first ride without having to wear overshoes or gloves. Summer miles here they come.

Empire State Failing

You're in dat der New York and you want some epic images of some of the iconic skyline. On, 'Top Of The Rock' you can see the stunning skyline in all it's glory and you join in as everyone catches the images of a lifetime. To get a photographic momento you have to entrust someone to capture it for you. So, you bring out the fool proof T5 and hand it over to a girl packed down with digital cameras all over her person so you figure she'll know she has a bit of a clue about photography and that one of the most obvious things to get in the frame of the photo, along with the people, is the Empire State Building...................a week later you get the film developed to discover epic fail. (Once again, I can't work out how to rotate the photo, double epic fail).

False advertising

There are quite a few things to point out with these photos; She may proclaim to be the Naked Cowgirl but she did have some clothing on to cover her modesty but the clothing definitely wasn't appropriate for cattle herding and I told her so, she was lacking spurs and chaps at the very least and I very much doubt any lifestock have made their way into Times Square.
(Sorry I don't know how to rotate the images).
