Welcome Sue!

Happy Birhday Mo!

It is a cool, windy, grey day here, it isn't raining, yet, but is forecast to this afternoon, so I think I am going to go out now for a quick spin before it starts. The Giro d'Italia isn't on TV here yet and I know after I watch that for a couple of hours I would go out rain or no rain. I don't want to have clean my bike up again. I may be losing weight and gaining much more energy, but I am still lazy.

Just back from a nice 9.5 miler with Max on the Hybrid, only downside is a couple of broken spokes and wheel now very much out of true. No potholes or kerbs, just the wheel giving up. I've just had a closer look and all the spokes seem loose.

Happy birthday Mo. Good avg speed, see you are getting quicker.

I thank you

Sue, nice write up.

Well, I said to the other half I will be about 3 1/2 hours, she says "your taking longer", I say "aye but I am going further"
However i dont think I will be doing to many rides like today, I was out far to long, problems with the cadence/sp monitor, but knick a battery out of my helmet light and alls well, except another stop to adjust the monitor when I realised the cadence wasn't working.
Slow 2nd half as a lot of it was in to the wind. Still averaged 15mph over the 50 miles, this does put me on 2,500 for the year, I can take the rest of May off now.

Time to get some new ones, I ended up changing about 8-10 in the end.

Great ride out in the sunnnnnnnssssshhhhhhiiiinnneeeeeeeee Did arounf 40 before I was feeling incredibly hungry so came home instead of stretching out a loop at the end of the ride. I wish I took a couple of sandwiches with me as I could have kept going for ages I reckon...if I hadn't also ran out of water.

I also fell off in front of an absolute babe* who asked if I was okay, I said yes and carried on as luckily it didn't hurt as it happened at around .0001 mph

*She may have not been a babe, she was in a car and I was too focused on carrying on as didn't want to hold up traffic
