Ordered my self a new bicycle on Monday, got a call from the shop that it had arrived yesterday & I could collect it today.
Got to the shop this afternoon to be told that they hadn't noticed it was damaged when it arrived (returned to them by another branch) or they would have called to let me know & save me a trip.
So I'm really disappointed I can't try it out tomorrow, but they have promised me that the re-ordered one will be brand new & boxed when they get it.

Hey Moto, I see you starred the Nov Geek Ride. Does that mean you're gonna make a super star guest appearance??

I won't be able to commit until much closer to the day. but I hope too. I'm still carrying injuries from that last tumble but am building up again.

It's a bit out of your manor, but be good if you could. Hope you're healing well.

Motogull said:

Cheers B. Contemplating telling the GP my haematoma with numb patch is still unresolved. My hunch is the only healing aid is time.


The next ride, will it be one or two like last time?

Any Hastings fellas fancy heading north if I head south one day? I've got a trip to Battle pending.

I haven't been out for a proper ride since about April or May. I don't do Summer heat and added to that I totally lost my mojo anyway. The short daily commutes and rides with the kids is all I've done. The cuckoo trail was nice again today it has to be said.

If Autumn does tempt me back out again, which I hope it will, then I might be up for something, but I'm not making any promises. Armchair clubber knows some good loop routes around the Battle area. My preferred direction from here is usually to go East to be honest.

Well that's all depressing, on a lovely sunny day.

I have just winter-fide my winter 'hack', as my summer legs and physique have long since left the building.
Lights, Garmin, bottle cages, full 'guards bought, now just trying to source a pair of Vittoria Open Pave to replace the Continental Grand Sport tyres it came with.

Fingers crossed I can get going again.

It might be a lovely sunny day, but the cold easterly wind is relentless this week, and makes going home (for me) a joyless experience.

Until I get there.

My lights turned up today SB. Shame I can't use the rear because of the kit bag under the seat. Just need a plug converter and I'm away. How do you set it to flashing mode?
