  • Ok
    The wind looks set to stay like this
    23 mph ave with 40 mph gusts
    Even a black heart is unsure

  • Ship's doctor signed me off for a few weeks with another cycling related injury- this time 'hip bursitis'...does that make it trendy? Keeps me awake at night, as you can see from the time of this post....

    Good luck in the wind, hopefully you'll have your mizzen blown up!

  • Wind gusting up the kyber pass
    Poop deck in danger of becoming slippy
    Load on the mizzen too large

    So if you can not beat the blouses, time to join them
    Mount the turbo of shame
    Or just watch the Olympics and dream

    FD is being hip, rupert fixing bikes with a welding torch
    Live to launch another day

    I,m reviewing the situation
    Think I better think it all again
    See you next week

    PS the ride is cancelled
  • Not surprised you didn't want to Carry on Up the Khyber, Cap'n; best not to upset the Khasi.

    Not even the turbo of shame for me, complete rest from the bike says the quack.

    In my case I'm not even allowed to ask for more (miles).

  • FD says doc please let me do more
    Sitting at home fiddling is a frightful bore

    The bullet is back from a year long cruise
    As for the fitness, he was bound to loose

    Cut throat jake no longer a captain, just plain Jake
    Only leaves in calm waters, a frightful fake

    Nick quietly builds his mileage, with secret training
    The climbing slowly gaining, will not be trailing

    As for the captain, the barrel runs dry
    The shakes are appearing, must give it a try

    With a new year brings change and a chance for a new
    The crew is refreshing , will bring a different hew

    As for pretty Pete, he fester and simmers
    It is just not fair, I deserve much more winners

    So wait till next week, it's all there to see
    And as for the cycling, ha ha, hee hee

  • Don't worry Cap'n, it's still early this year
    Plenty of time for the crew to appear

    Today was a day to join the landlubbers
    The gunners, blouses and go down the pubbers

    Put the feet up and enjoy a good ale
    Instead of risking your neck in the gale

    Watch Ice Cold in Alex, starring John Mills
    Not flogging your guts out, amidst the hills

    For they say that change is good as a rest
    A week off the bike, recuperation works best

    Then come back refreshed, keen for more rides
    Once tornados, hurricanes and stormageddon subsides

    The Black Pig will once again sail with full crew
    So don't sit around Cap'n, glumly in a stew

    Cut Throat Jake & Big Nick will each pull their oar
    So hard that their hands will be turned red raw!

    Pumping ferociously away below decks
    Straining and showing the veins in their necks!

    Even Tony the Bullet, aka Phileas Fogg
    Will once again feature in the Cap'n's log

    But there I go again about the Khyber Pass
    Poop Deck, Khasi and what the Cap'n may pass!

  • You have got to pick a pocket or two, that's what fagin said
    Time to get out there, not lay around in bed

    A pocket watch, a silk scarf or even a hankie
    The duvet maybe warm with invite for pankie

    But patience is a virtue, captain is well endowed
    It's quality that's important, but it helps to stand proud

    So hoist up the mizzen, let it bellow with wind
    Let all doubts and fears be banished and binned

    The black pig stands ready, desperate to leave port
    Thanks for your replies, considerations and thought

    Until next time
