As for Ewood Bikes, Blackburn... If I do arrange to have my fork replaced by them, my idea is to take the bike there by train and wait while the job is done, then ride it home afterwards. I haven't worked out the exact route that I would take, but it would be an easy few hours ride. I would have the option of including some minor offroad but would avoid any serious Pennine gnarliness.

Very windy round here today too, but pleasant. Unfortunately I can't take advantage of the sunshine...
I have been feeling sub-par on and off for 2 weeks and have pretty much avoided going out on my bike to avoid aggravating whatever is wrong with me. I felt better yesterday so I went out and did a mere 16 kms, with just one significant hill. I felt great when I got back, had a shower and something to eat. A few hours later I felt worse than I have for days. Damn!
I nipped out on a 3 km trip to the shops at lunchtime and started feeling giddy when I got back. That horrible feeling you can get if you drink too much booze, too quickly. Given that it is over 8 years since I drank any alcohol, I suspect that it isn't due to that!
I'm now sitting quietly at home trying not to trigger the sickly whirling feeling. Perhaps I have some kind of inner ear problem? Whatever it is it isn't pleasant...
Are they in Blackburn? Somebody recommended them to me to do the fork replacement on my CAADX. Several people have been seriously injured and at least one died after fork failures!Cannondale are recalling them for free replacement.
I'll wait for the Covid situation to improve before getting the job done though.
Sounds like its an ear infection like the one I had many years ago, unfortunately its been that long ago I can't remember what it was called, I was treated in A & E with an injection and had to take a course of tablets.Sounds like Trigger's sweeping brush.

Argh! Hopefully, it will settle down by itself. I'll take it easy for another few days and see if it clears up.

I was taken ill whilst out on a club ride, I left the group and tried to ride home but never made it, a passing jogger called me an ambulance, no mobile phones those days. once treated it cleared up very quickly, I was back at work the following day, when I finished work I borrowed the wagon and went and recovered the bike from the joggers garage.

Yikes... I was thinking that if the giddiness had come on suddenly on one of my super-fast local descents there would have been an almighty panic to stop before I crashed!
Motion sickness is a horrible thing...
My father told me that the crossing of the channel in his landing craft on D-Day was so rough that men and equipment were tumbling over each other in rivers of vomit. They were so desperate to get on dry land that they gave no thought to the machine gun fire raking the beach in front of them ...

You should have messaged me Pete, you could have visited the man shed for a coffee, or I could have given you that battery pack for Biggs.

I can vouch for Ewood Bikes, I've used them for everything for 25 years. I always buy my bikes there because I know the service I get is more than worth the extra I pay when compared with online buying.Jimmy 'So-vile'?

They aren't Cannondale stockists any more so I don't know if they could help. The other thing is this is a real LBS, great service, workmanship etc. but not always as prompt as you might want. You might encounter quite a long wait though the job would be done on the day you were there.
