Mundane News

[PeteXXX]

For the final time this year, I'm nearly up.

First question is who's going

In theory, Godfather of the Elder Son and I. To my surprise Elder, Middle, and Younger Son all want to come as well.

This has caused some consternation as I don't have enough bikes for everyone so some serious bike building will have to take place in January.

Morning.
It is dark and wet out . I have put all of our bins out .

 

[Illaveago]

Shhh! Keep the noise down ! We have visitors .

Slept well, decided it’s too wet and windy for a tree lined parkrun.

I am having a distressingly unmundane time away from home supporting family with covid. Well some family with covid and one elderly unvaccinated parent who refuses to test, thus insisting between coughing episodes that they clearly don't have it and will we all stop accusing them of lying. I miss my bikes.

Up, 34.5 miles to ride in order to hit 7,000 for the year.

I was just looking at other threads and thinking about what prices we pay for our hobby. I am a bit of a skinflint! Most of my stuff is second hand and recycled. I sometimes look in cycling magazines and see all the adverts for really expensive stuff. Special wheels with less spokes for hundreds of pounds ! I would want them if given a quick spin to still be spinning an hour later at those prices . Special aero seat post which will only fit one bike . I doubt if any of those are kept in stock should you ever need one !

Not looked outside yet but forecast for here is dry today with virtually no wind tho' cold at 1C.
A quick peek out looks ok so may try a run up the Moss Road and mebbe back by the cycle path through the caravan site.

And to think some of my customers get stroppy when a bike costs more than 100€...

That was a windy ride
Garden birds have been fed
First cuppa went down well

Good morning all. Some good news - it's not raining at the moment. If it stays like this, I may have to get out and get some fresh air on the bike.

It bugs me when they describe bikes costing around £1500 as entry level.The prices of some clothing are ridiculous
