Sorry to hear you are broke Wuv. Hope things pick up for you soon. My advice, for all its worth, is stay positive and get stuck in. Do not join the realms of broken men that litter our streets. Cycling helps too.

This Saturday we are undergoing an important diplomatic mission to Southern Btittany - near Pont Aven. Just for a week. I will be getting a couple of hours in every morning before breakfast. So if you are in the area and see a rough looking old rouleur on a black Scott Addict, give him a wave, its me.
I will be wearing a yellow Borat mankini if the weather is kind.

Apart from this, only weekend trips between now and Xmas. In September a weekend in the Scottish Highlands for The Ullapool 130m sportive - looking forward to this as it will be the furthest up north I have ventured (never too late to try something new I'm always telling Mrs Cid - although at her age she's tried most things).

In the pub last night a "Lion of Flanders" weekend was mooted, which would be a weekend in October. Ferry from Hull, cycling and drinking in delightfull Belgium, with possibly a short excursion over the border into equally delightfull Clogland.
