Yep, sitting here watching this fine weather outside.

I'm thinking I really should clean my bike from the abuse it received during the week with lots of grit in the brakes and should fit the new chain that I have had for a few months!!

I just can't be asked as I would want to go out and ride once done. With this weather I think I will just surf tinternet and watch suitable bike themed videos and look at new bikes I can't afford>

I actually went out, kind of wish I hadn't bothered. Brakes are full of grit now, washed the bike down and relubricated everything, will need to strip the brakes down some other time.

Trials were shite, so muddy the tyres just clog up and you end up with your front wheel going everywhere you don't want it to.

Still raining here in Basildon, in fact its not stopped all weekend :(

Think I either go out and get soaked or take some pics of the bikes and upload them.

Maybe someone can invent a brolly for bikes :lol:
