It was a brilliant summer's day in Glasgow. The Fit One sent a text looking for a partner for tonight. Plans were made for a montain bike outing on the tractors albeit lights would be required as it is getting dusk around 19.30.
Bigman headed for the train looking forward to the outing after a training day off yesterday. A text came in from The Fit One. Local Government business was taking precedence. Bigman was going solo.
By Falkirk, The Fit one was back on the blower, game back on. And then came Linlithgow. Hardly a puff out of the station and the mobile burst into life to the Fit One's personalised ring tone of Queen's 'Don't stop me now'. By the end of the call the ring tone 'Another one bites the dust' would have been more appropriate, as the Local Government demands reeled him back in. This left Bigman riding solo.
Well it would have if The Wee Yin had not made a very fine Sweet and Sour Chicken supported by noodles. No problem, woof it down and head out, was the immediate thought.
A fine meal later followed by freshly brewed coffee and it is fair ro say the appetite for bursting a gut climbing Cleish four times was loosing its appeal as the odour of a 2006 Pouilly Fume oozed from the glass.
This is the kind of commitment that will NOT pay dividends at Cape Epic. The Ironman returns from Brussels tomorrow and so greater discipline will be evidenced. As avid readers know his single mindedness when it comes to healthy diet is 'unique'and cannot be equalled.
A mountain bike session is on the cards tomorrow night. In the meantime, 2006 was indeed a fine year :-)
