Up with the Lark this morning, well noisy bastard blackbird actually Managed 40 miles, only pic was of the morning gridlock.
This is not me I met this very nice chap today while out, he is riding from Suffolk to Lincoln. He told me he'd previously cycled across America on an recumbent. Note the cleated sandals and socks combo. What a fucking legend!
We used to see a guy in something similar but with a bubble screen in front, not sure if he is disabled or likes the challenge, but even with a whippy aerial and flag it has to be a worry you will be run over.
You can get up to comparatively high speeds in a recumberent, there’s a chap who lives locally with a streamlined version looks like an airplane fuselage.
Up and at it early doors this morning. Great mtb 'ing at the minute, the recent rain has not changed the trails much.....
Just received an email from Ducati inviting me to buy an e mountain bike:- The Powerstage RR Limited Edition, the first Ducati e-enduro with carbon fibre frame designed to take on the extreme off-road. £11,690.. Anyone here managed to secured a slot on the waiting list..........
A very short 1 hour bimble this morning before the B&Q knobbers woke up for their Sunday emergency supplies, Kunts. Photo of the Litespeed before the very much needed rear wheel bearings rebuild. A very simple yet involving task as I’ve never rebuilt such before. Four bloody bearing to extract and the initial strip down was very much an experiment. Time to order the bearing now. Please note regulation slammed stem, crankarms regulation and on the big ring/ small cog.
I recently did the bearings on my year Fulcrum wheel, quite enjoyed it. Sealed bearing are way easier the than the old cones.
the surname of there chap on that bench is not identical to mine but has some commonality so I googled it out of idle curiosity. appears the chap is a bit of legend https://ampneystmary.com/?page_id=475
