Sorry Im Scottish but whats the World Cup?
You call it
the Rangers vs Celtic Derby.
Teams come from all corners of the known universe to play against each other in a good natured and friendly game.

Rangers vs Celtic Derby "a good natured and friendly game"
perhaps for the players... but the inbred fans of both sides with a family tree like a mop pole aren't wired like "friendly" theres nothing but bile and generations of bred in hatred there
BUT! you did remind me of something called qualifiers where the Tartan Army go on a world booze cruise and party with the locals celebrating their win after they thrash us

I had a nice evening ride along the river, ending with dinner at the local brewery.
Now Amy has moved on, this mornings conditions were 
Next to no wind, barely 2-5 mph NW. 10 degrees, rising to about 12. Clear skies, high cloud, another orange sunrise except it didn't rise till I got home. Was joined by 2 groups of bats en-route, in the sheltered spots. Legs were

A rare day with two 'proper' rides (well for me anyway!)
First a ride out along the towpath to Kingston and then back home through the park - 13km and at a fair pace.
Only to get a call as soon as I got back with a request to deliver something left behind for my sons basketball match in Twickenham - I could have driven, I guess, but I hopped on Dave, who goes like a rocket
Another 10km.
It was a beautiful day for cycling - around 16C, Sunny.

A very nice 9 miles today of my most done loop but heading through some rather rough downhill bit I don't do as often due to people. Today was a fine line between safe and fast, a very fine line. Can't often do it at speed due to it being busy but I was quite early and all the puddles put some folk off.
Felt very fast today but my average speed was slow as ever and only hit 30mph on the faster stuff. My average speed is always slow, I ride slow and so much of it is gradual climbing.
TLDR, felt very fast, was not.

The rocky section of my ride pretty much always looks like that, right next to a couple of big hills with old mines and lots of ground water. It was very wet today.
