No I haven’t given up riding or blogging, my laptops motherboard fried a while ago and I haven’t blogged since. I just put another motherboard in it last night and tonight’s the first chance I have had to update the blog. So a quick recap of the last 2 months. Time flies!
I have ridden a few times since my last post. All commuting from a friends house in Lytham to work. Its 2.75 miles and takes 18 mins going in and 16 going back!
Not long after the first commute I bought a bike rack for the roof of the car from Halfords. The only problem is that the car park at my mates house is through a tunnel (formed by a flat above the entrance) This means I have to stop, take off the bike then park up and fit the pannier bag. Just a minor inconvenience.
Mileage to date is about 118 miles. I will update the log as soon as I can.
I bought a maintenance stand last month from Halfords, its useful and gets the bike where you want it for working on. Yesterday I bought the Haynes cycle maintenance book, a tool kit and some semi slick tyres – well I think they are
Compared to the knoblies they are Continental Double Fighter 26×1.95 Bike Tyres £15 each. I have yet to fit them.
With the cycling, Salsa dancing and now golfing, I feel fitter but ain’t lost any weight! Oh hum.
Thats all for now.
