  • End of term vibes. Rode an hour or so to meet some friends in the country pub we've been going to for years, and had a very very good pre-Christmas catch-up, but on the way back my front tire started to leak again. Thankfully I heard it before I was too far from the road to Leamington, but still had to pull over, try and fix it and then give up and call a cab eventually. There are so many plugs on that tire it's a miracle this hasn't happened already!

    Anyway, two solid weeks off means I have time to tinker, write, explore, maybe take some time off the bike to focus on living a little.

  • Beautiful

  • I'm glad to be out and about again. My health feels strangely shaky and I can't seem to escape this nagging feeling of something feeling not right, all the time. But in between the gaps, bikes are cool.
    Out on the Raleigh fixed today against a prevailing wind, and I definitely felt a little tireder than usual but it's impossible to tell. These, after the ride, were the only pictures I took and got in just before the rain chucked down, so counting that as a win.
    Ode to the forum for finally convincing me to BDHU, too. The reach is a few mms shorter now and a lot better for it.

  • Lovely.
    Maybe hoods down a smidge, and your brake pads are in wrong (the fin on the pad holder points down).

  • I'll have a play with the hoods - it felt right today but that's not indicative as it was so windy outside, I was out of the saddle a lot of the time.
    You're right with the brake pads, I've just been lazy. I'll change them over now!! No more dicey braking.

  • My first Christmas in a while fully by myself so I was very grateful to be asked if I wanted to join the group ride this morning. Ft. a banging sunrise, dense fog, delicious cold, great chat and the promise of a boiling shower after.
    Now for half a day of LOTR extended and dinner.
    Have a good day everyone, and best wishes to you all regardless of how you spend it.

  • Reading this post during the first half of the Fellowship of the Ring is quite the coincidence!

    Happy Christmas!

  • Great minds! ☺️
