Hope so for your sake too. I know how you feel. I hate it too. Sometimes it's not so bad in the morning and doesn't pick up till later so here's hopingLots of posts to catch up on. Had a manic week and not been on here for ages (or out on the bike much).
It's really windy here today. I really hope it isn't tomorrow. I've the Nottingham 100 in the morning. I HATE the wind. I find it really saps me

Rain is currently bouncing off the ground here. My planned rest days have been well timed. Got round a dog walk before it got too bad.
Thanks guys for the well wishes for my back. It's aching a bit now as I have spent the last 2 hours bent over fitting mudguards
My least favourite job but the Longboards I had on weren't as sturdy as the chromoplastics and had started to break. Fitted the SKS chromoplastics this time and the strip of metal that runs through them seems to make them much stronger. It always takes me at least 2 hours with lots of things pinging in all directions and much unladylike language but that's it done.
re expletives. Makes it all more rewarding when you actually get the blooming' things on though doesn't it?
It does.....and I think I actually made a better job of them than I usually do. They seem to be sitting reasonably straight and close to the tyres without rubbing. Sitting here thinking about getting the pledge out and giving it a polish now.

No, hardly ever use it, I tan reasonably well, and never really stupid about being in the sun till I have a tan, it comes naturally spending time in the sun early on in the season, I use moisturiser sometime if skin a little dry, this is more of a problem as I grow older. I had shoes and socks on.Hope you had suncream on! But at least you hardly had to worry about tan lines (although I'd hate to ride without socks so I have a weird tan developing on the calves
I think it's the most I have done in a single day, but the rides were split up, to the hospital and back, to York and back, and the ride itself.
I'm all set up for my first Audax tomorrow, the Beacon Roads CC Cotswold Outing. Just 107 klicks, but that'll be my longest single ride to date. I've got the Cyclechat.net jersey, clean bike, route cards printed & laminated to jersey pocket size, the packet of wine gums, and I'm working towards the right p.m.a.! Whatever you're all doing tomorrow, have a good one.

There were riders of all sizes Chris, naturisum is not about having a perfect body. I personally try and look beyond the outside of a person, but I find people difficult to cope with. The ride didn't bother me, meeting up was the most difficult bit, and getting to chat with people.
Well do you think I can fit this b#%#%# wheel! Took out the extra axle spacers, fitted the tyre and tube, still a little bit tight but got in then discovered the old wheel nuts don't fit on the new axle!!!!. Had to walk away as was losing it a bit.Yeah, wheel delivered today. I got very excited as the box was big enough for a bike and I thought for a moment.....

I need some decent cone spanners aus well as the cheapo cheese ones that came with an Aldi toolkit folded under normal use.
