Warning for Old Coulsdon, Caterham and the surrounding areas.......

[Beads]

Which may include Coulsdon, Purley and Carshalton.

I have my new shorts which (along with my knees) will be making their debut in the local area 'first thing' tomorrow morning! Please be careful if you're driving locally there may be some major wobble!

And then to make matters worse I'm going to head out on a cycle ride with Alex on Friday taking in even more of the local area, this time wearing my new padded Lycra cycle shorts.

Hmmm, tags are interesting, why does head have a small h but the others are capitalised?

excellent...I'm sure your knees are going to really enjoy themselves...and everyone else will too. Have a great run xx

Enjoy the breeze around the knees - and good luck with 'first thing' too.

Yes, those really are the silliest tags! Why anyone would want to search for 'driving' I've no idea, but I somewhat doubt they'd be enlightened by a shorts-warning!

Oh goodness I'll be out in Carshalton in the morning - I'll be the one with the unbelievably bright red face - and I've bought a dreadful cheap cap to try in the heat as it was dreadful Monday morning.. That's a lot of distance you cover.

Carshalton is tomorrow, on the bikes with Alex, we're doing a big (relatively) circle and stopping off at Oaks Park for a cuppa about halfway.

Beads! Good luck with your shorts in an area where I spent much of my adolescence!

[Beads Graduate]

Thanks everyone, my knees were out in full force scaring the early chaps on the golf course!

[Beads Graduate]

Bike ride done! It's safe to venture out again now. The good folk of Old Coulsdon, Purley (borders), Oaks Park, Banstead, Woodmansterne and Coulsdon were 'treated' to the sight of my knees, as were the HUGE amount of cars on the road between Oaks Park and Banstead! But they were luckily saved from the sight of a lycra clad backside as I've pinched David's MTB cycling shorts (which are 'normal' looking shorts on the outside with a padded lycra lining).

Happy running everyone!

Ha ha, I'm sure everyone was fine with your knees. Hope you had fun. Love oaks park, only been to that cafe once but it seems ok. Make sure you stop off and see the lavender. It's in full and beautiful force right now and they sell all sorts of goodies in the shop/cafe.
