well, that was fun, 45 minutes grovelling into a howling wind, mud and water grinding through the bike, hailstones hurting my face, and seat post slipping down, bah !
and then I turned around, wooo hoooo, that was fast, faster than I could spin my stupid single gear, faster than the mud being kicked off my tyres
early morning rides rock
1 hour 15 minutes
2 Herons
2 Gosseanders
1 Kingfisher
lots of Mallards and Teal
need to sort out my drivetrain today, and also take a look at the rear hub, the Woodman (Brant designed) single speed hub that has been on duty for about 7 years now is finally making some deathnell type noises :-(
Update tonight, poured some oil into the hub and hey presto its fine again !, however the rain and wind came even harder and I couldnt summon up the courage to ride home the long way, went the shortest way possible and still got absolutely soaked wet through Bah !!
these are just some of the ramblings of a confused tall person

Only 20 to go!
ReplyDeleteI reckon I'm just gonna go for a pootle up the canal and back today.
New bike needed, obviously :)
ReplyDeleteNice format change, y'idiot.
ReplyDeleteNearly 2.5 hours for me today. Not sure I'll manage it every day though!
ReplyDeleteWhen I started this I thought I might get closer to summer racing fitness. No luck so far - I'm actually putting weight on. Ride more often and get fatter. How does that work? I don't suppose the fact that I seem to have an enormous appetite at the moment helps much. Is anyone loosing any body weight through this?
ReplyDeleteI've gained a bit of weight Cris.
