Had a lovely fun bimble this morning with Zandy and Faye. Faye has literally just bought a mtb and was sporting running tights and trainers but despite her inexperience showed impressive stamina, resolve and calmness. She took the muddy trails, steep descents and slippery roots in her stride and raised one metaphorical eyebrow at log jumps and drop offs, overcoming most obstacles with panache.
So having had a genuine social ride with some good mates I headed home to warm up and tinker. I love tinkering with my bikes - although tend to do it in the middle of winter rather than on nice bright warm days (when I'm riding them not fixing them). But today I made great strides at moving towards my indepenence resolution. I:
- changed a puncture
- cleaned all 3 bikes
- fitted a mudguard
- changed some pedals
- fitted 3 out of 4 brake blocks (my coach fitted the 4th which was being particularly irregular)
Not bad, eh?
Tonight is my housemate's first New Recipe of our One New Recipe Per Week resolution. Love new year, gives you an excuse to change stuff.
