Big Cat Goes Green!!

So yesterday saw an historic event take place in York. Having handed back the Impreza (estate- with spoiler) after the show season, I decided it was time to review my transportation apparatus. The principal reason for this was that I wanted to reduce my carbon paw-print. Of late I have been using the "bendy bus" which is the most futuristc and frustrating vehicle in existence:

- You can't speak to the driver ( he sits in a sealed-off cab)

- You have to pay a machine with a touch-screen that doesn't work.

- You have to have the exact change ( which leads to random trips to the co-op to buy chewing gum (handy for the Sluge's hallitosis) to break a tenner).

So all things considered i decided to go-green and get a bike. Halfords sorted me out with a sporty little number, and I duly got the add-ons: lock, lights and helmet (large obviously). I then took the bike back to HQ and chained it to a post outside. 20 minutes later I watched a youth surreptitiously stop by for a quick inspection- I was on the phone trying to seal an appointment with a customer so didn't want to hang up and go outside. I didn't get the appointment which was disappointing- but not as disappointing as going outside to find my front light (£18.99-cheers) had been lifted. I was not happy.

After closing up it was time for my inaugral journey, as i left i could be heard commenting, "Its all very well using a bike but i don't think a short journey like this will impact my fitness.." 20 minutes later i arrived home; quads burning, sweat literally dripping from my nose, panting and with the sorest of posteriors conceivable. This last pain was a surprise as i am particularly well upholstered in this region.

The good news was i had half an hour to rest before going off to play football! I think i volunteered for my spell in goal earlier than usual as my legs gave out quicker than ever. Luckily my heavily put-upon quads held out long enough to see me net a beauty and make a great diving save (low to the right at full stretch)- Showing all of my natural feline agility!

Back in the saddle this morning- every bit as sore! The day i make the journey without breaking sweat is the day i know i'm getting fitter.

Watch this space for my next update and a cycling- related joke to boot!

Kristoff our ex- apprentice came up immediately to check them out after an "Old boys Jogging match" at his old convent school. He was pleased with his performance even though all eight of the current under 14 girls team beat him.

Also hello to the Sheriff- we do extra long sleeves on the Harvie and Hudson. The Sheriff really adds credibility to the old saying about the "long arm of the law!"
