Cycling

[The Pits]

Well, the bike has been ordered, along with a new Garmin 510. I think the wife ordered it just so she can keep an eye on my whereabouts!

But the bike, computer, pedals, CO2 kit, proper retul bike fit all in for £2k, I was quite please with that. I should be able to pick it up next weekend!

Talked the boss into signing up with the 'bike to work scheme'
Cue furious hand rubbing.

I removed and replaced the BB on my Trek today, VERY pleased with myself for takin it on and saving a few quid in the process.
Here's the old one:

All Welsh people look the same to me....

Having cast a trained eye over your old BB gethinceri I have come to the conclusion that it is shot to shit...

It doesn't look good, even to my inexperienced eyes.

Well, finally, I have picked up the new bike!!!! The garmin is charging ready for tomorrow. Just upset I cannot go out today as the eldest has a footy tournament!

Pics, please, The Pits.

 

[The Pits]

Will do, when today is over!!!!

As promised, the new ride. Due to family and work commitments, I have only been out twice since I got it, however, the one major issue is that it highlights every single flaw in the rider!!

That's a mean looking machine The Pits.

No Sunday lie in for you then. 137.8 Km is pretty energetic, well done.

I try to mix it up. New bike has helped, awesome for climbing, weighing about the same as a small insect!

As an aside, was half thinking of having a go at this:
