Posted by diamond in : Work, Random, Cycling , trackbackMyself and dan did an 81km cycle on sunday (@ 22.25kmph), from limerick to the far side of nenagh and back. It took about 4 hours, and was getting rather cold and dark by the time we returned, but we managed it, and thus have reached our goal to make it to nenagh and back before christmas. Other than that, the last few days have been very… well… non-descript. I can’t remember what’s happened this week, the whole exhausted+medication lark is competely screwing with my memory.
I did some work for the irish chamber orchestra back in july, and they’ve been looking for an invoice ever since. I (finally) got around to doing one up last night, and handed it in today. Thirty minutes later, they handed me a cheque. As i said on irc, i suspect they were being extra efficient in order to contrast with my terrible inefficiency with getting them an invoice ,-) Still, between the money from that and the money from the work i did today for them, i reckon i have enough to do the storage upgrade on my server here that i had been thinking about. Yay for stuff.
And now, back to my habitiual daze.

Nice to see you’re not leaving the updating TOO long…
Are you ever going to be happy with your cycles? Always with the longer/faster ones, pfft!
Re: happy with cycles, i _am_ happy with my cycling and progress so far. That doesn’t mean i don’t have bigger aims however. For a start, a medium-term goal of mine is to be able to cycle home to athlone from limerick, and maybe even cycle back the next day. After that, we’ll see ,-)

as long as you never aim to cycle to Dublin and cycle back the next day, that’s fine
Well, limerick->athlone is 121km. Limerick->dublin is 192km. I would see that as being not a bad long-term goal. It’s doable in a day, with about 8 hours cycling. We’ll see -)
