Out again

Managed to squeeze in a training ride again, same loop as last week, a bit quicker but I think that was because its drier rather than a miraculous improvement, oh and I didnt stop for a chat at the stanmer tea rooms. As you can see the visibility was much better this week.

Struggling to get any mid-week riding in at the moment, going to be difficult again this week too, i'm over in Bristol 3 days out of 5, and Mrs Pnik's birthday too.

I went out to the garage this morning to find my bike still caked in last week's mud, not good, got the gears moving though and washed it properly afterwards today.

Mama its gone all misty.

Took a couple of hours out from the family to get some miles on the clock. Boy its misty today. Saw very little more than the 20 feet in front of me most of the time. Did a nice loop which I intend to use as my baseline training route. If I can do it once every couple of weeks I should be able to measure progress.
I'm now planning to do the Lemming Trail (South Downs Way) in September with one or two bigger rides over the summer. Possibly the London to Brighton which I've never done. There's a few other more MTB events too that could be interesting.

That's all for now.

Finally out again...

Out with some newbies from the office this afternoon, took them round some of the best bits on Holmbury Hill, Barry Knows Better, Parklife and Telegraph Road. Good times.

My time on the bike as been severely constrained the last few weeks having put my neck out in halfterm week, 1 trip to the osteopath improved but not right, 2nd visit next week hopefully will resolve.

Bike fun has been confined to the garage, fitting some brakes to friend's anti-diluvian marin and putting some bling on the Orange. new bars, seatpost and stem. Looks good first shakedown today seemed OK.

The Marin was a pain apparently there was an old post mount, slightly different to current post mount, so fitted an adaptor imported from Canada (!?) post mount to IS mount then a IS adaptor to current Hayes. then messed around with spacers until it kinda lined up. Not my finest hour in the workshop, but we got it working. bodgit and scarper, havent heard if he's ridden it yet!

Its late and i need my beauty sleep. bye for now
