Janathon Day 5 – strangers, pub, cats and dogs
I am too knackered to blog properly, so here’s my blog post in a list.
1. Saw tweet a couple of weeks ago about local bike ride, organised by Spokes.
2. Thought, I want to go on the bike ride and favourited the tweet to remind me.
3. Woke up and the weather wasn’t minging, so went off to meet a bunch of strangers.
4. Met the bunch of strangers who turned out to be a very nice bunch of people indeed.
5. Discovered I wasn’t the only one there who should have been at home writing a dissertation proposal instead of gallivanting around the countryside.
6. Cycled for about an hour until reached a pub in Smarden.
7. Spent a long time patting the dogs and stroking the cats in the pub.
8. Ordered cheese omelette and jacket wedges, then moaned my jacket wedges were chips, not wedges, and the chips were raw.
9. One of the group was perturbed her lunch didn’t come with the advertised bread.
10. One of the group said his jacket potato tasted old.
11. When we were asked how our food was, we all said ‘lovely, thanks’ in that good old British way even though we’d all just moaned about it.
12. Cycled for about another hour and went home and had two cups of hot chocolate to try and thaw out.
13. Went on Twitter and accidentally agreed to run Ashford parkrun with @TrevB1 in our onesies if he gets his workplace’s VLM place on Monday.
14. Spent four hours on Facebook trying to muster up the energy to blog. Remained unmustered.
15. Ate pie and mash and cabbage and gravy and wondered if I could be bothered to blog.
16. Realised I couldn’t be bothered to blog so wrote a list instead.

LOL – loved this post!
Very impressive Janathoning! Now I fancy pie and mash…
Great job janathoning! I really want to try an organised bike ride!
I feel like a total slacker now…
Lol – love your list – and your comment about British non-complaining. We had dinner at TGI Friday’s tonight and my ribs were cold. I sent them back, got hot ones and wasn’t charged. See – you could have had a free lunch 😉
ha ha – great list 28 miles wow thats great, youve got me thinking now the brand new shiny red bike that was popped in my shed 9 years ago when I bought my house should come out at last, already thinking where is a nice bike ride 14 miles from my place in folkestone when this stormy weather subsides – meanwhile have my new bannatynes schedule out and pondering what exciting new gym glass shall I do today !!
You bought a bike 9 years ago and haven’t ridden it? Get it out! We can go for a bike ride together when the weather’s better.
oops meant class not glass lol
