Soon as I pressed the Post Reply button, I wondered how long it would take for the innuendo to kick in
Morning all, it rained quite heavily in the night. Seems ok today though
....that I won't be around after tonight for a few days as I am off to do some cycle touring in Cambs.
Will be back Thursday PM, so TTFN and see you all later.
Be well, be kind to everyone.
Went for another pedal on me pushbike this morning. Still hard on the rump .
...Afternoon all
The cycle tour was a bit of a disaster.
Day one: We met at the Park & Ride in St. Ives and rode into town for Breakfast and then set off for Cambridge, but we did not get there.
For some unknown reason my RH front wheel suffered a progressive collapse with 7 spokes snapping (6 on one side and one on the other side ).
My companion was very much NOT AMUSED and it looked like the trip was over before it had really begun. We swapped spokes from the bad side to the "not-so-bad" side and limped back to the park and ride.
Luckily my friend had brought a strange wheel with him (in the car) for us to try out a new tool on and it just happened to have spokes that were of a length that could be used to effect a repair.
Day two: Was uneventful and a decent number of miles were done, and so he stopped scowling at me.
Day 3 (today): This morning we packed up everything except the trikes and did another little 12 mile trip before returning to the camp site and loading the trikes up and going home.
I will be remaking both front wheels with new tyres, tubes and spokes (+ spares) for Holland (if we are going).
So not the happy trip I was expecting, but that's life.
Look on the bright side, you could have been on your trip to Holland. You did set out to give it (and yourself) a good test and that you have completed very successfully....Afternoon all
