Been a busy day; club ride with only 4 this morning followed by a conversation with club-mate Brian Robinson later. He's getting on and I don't get to chat to him very often. I've always got time for him and his thoughts on the current Giro were interesting, although it's the only grand tour he didn't ride.
Cut the grass, and next-door's shared front. Brown (garden) bin's being collected Monday and we're off racing and to my parent's - not seen them since last year - afterwards.
Then played with the Kona Paddy Wagon that arrived yesterday with bits on from my parts store to get it 'grasstrack-racing ready', plus the Dawes Kingpin build and then some work on my son's race bike for his race tomorrow. Details and photos on the https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/what-have-you-fettled-today.87079 thread tomorrow as it's dark.
Now doing some external examining: one university today, the other much bigger one tomorrow and Monday.

Yes, they get a week at Christmas/New Year, that's all.
Oh, and the side gate's now locked again as someone went down there this week at night. Just a bit of additional security on top of the locks / shielded doors / alarm / bike locks / guard cat to keep the bikes safe.

They move them back a day, when there's a Bank Holiday Monday, round here.
Possibly Friday now, not Wednesday.

Ours get moved a day forward, so Wednesday not Tuesday next week.

That'd be moving it back not forwards. Forwards would mean Monday.

The 'best' thing to affix Grips with is Hairspray,make sure they're clean and dry then a quick squirt up em acts as a lubricant to slide them on then an adhesive when it dries............................as for the 'lady bits' I'm too far away to offer to 'kiss em better'Well, that didn't *quite* go to plan...
After negotiating a particularly nasty dip-and-bump, my saddle clamp suddenly developed a mind of its own in the nose-up-and-down department. Since I'm unlikely to find a pair of 13mm spanners in the middle of Fodder Fen, I had no choice but to keep going. It gradually got worse, to the point I had to finish the last four miles of my ride with one hand on the nose of the saddle to keep the thing level-ish.
My poor lady bits are rather thoroughly mashed. Although oddly, my bum doesn't hurt.
Also, one of my grips came loose, but that was a minor irritation in the scheme of things.
Still, twelve miles on a bike (Max the MTB) in the lovely sunshine. There's a lot of things worse than that.I now have a
and two chocolate chip biskits.
