Caffi Iechyd Da - September

One Fat Cyclist One Thin Cyclist

Phil broke a finger nail on the strings ooh nasty!

'Did you really try to touch up Jenny, Neil?

Trying to read, sing, keep de-stresed, stay thin and play a guitar all at the same time - I am a HERO!

'I think Phil has gone wrong, what chord is he playing now?'

WINTER CHALLENGE 2012

We are 21 weeks away from flying out to Chicago to attempt 7 century bike rides in 7 days with the added challenge of completing as many gigs in Chicago and New York as possible.

Dr Dave in search of sciatica!

I have been off the bike for nearly 3 weeks and any training that had been built up has now gone. I have suffered with extreme osteo-arthritis in the knee with the accompanying sciatica and sleepless nights.

Acupuncture, blood cupping, cod liver oil tablets, glucosamin and chondroitin tablets and three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar a day seem to have helped and tonight I hit the track for a 10 mile time trial in Carmarthen with my buddy, Phil who has also been suffering from various ailments (that's for him to discuss).

Cycling back to Pendine from Red Roses. 

Too much road in frame but learning all the time!

News Flash

Henry Jones arrived back at Pendine today following Englands dismal display against the French in their quarter final match at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. Jones, 46 who is a world leader in sales bullshit had hoped to lay low in the seaside resort in an attempt to avoid multi-dimensional ribbing from his Welsh associates. His plan was scuppered however when local hacks spotted the hairy blonde toff exiting his playboy VW Sirocco Coupe at his in-laws residence this afternoon.

It is thought that the bleached folicle-meister will stay until he has cleared his in laws larder and the contents of their new American style fridge and gained at least 12lbs in bulk ahead of his next big pressure sales campaign which involves the targeting of senile pensioners who wet themselves who Jones thinks need software that alerts them to media articles about them and their friends.

The Return Of The Pendine Snot Monster

It all started so well. A blast with the Big Man AKA Andy `Mucus-man` Edwards out from Carmarthen to Llanstephan and back with the target of doing the windy 17 miles in under an hour. From the off the big man was truly 'on the bang' pushing hard on a big chain ring. I was blowing hard just to keep up. After the first 3 miles I managed to get on his rear wheel and thought here's my chance for a quick breather. Then it all started... The Snot Monster came out to play. The twelve bore nostrils had an initial blast out, followed by a good chest cleansing, some indiscriminent spitting and a final double nasal barrel salvo.

I of course being tight behind caught most of it.

I decided quickly after this that the safest place was up front and I bust a gut to get ahead.

Fortunatly there were some hills ahead and I managed to stay out of range of the nasal armoury and any collateral damage.

As we got back on to the flatter roads on the way back the big man powered past me again but fortunately by this point the rain was hammering down and any further nasal phlegm bombs or chest shrapnel would be quickly washed off..

The round trip done in an hour and one minute. But taking into account the multiple traffic light stops total ride time was 58 mins.. Job done.

Phil Jenkins (5): "Hot and sweaty after a solo 30 miler this morning. The big man cried off with sore finger tips and fatigue after yesterdays wind and rain soaked outing and gigging with his side project Dai Rees and the Killers last night which is who he plays with when not being 3/4 of The Two Fat Cyclists."
