Hope you are cool Liz bob had a tumble there on the Xmas ride

My plan is to replace everything by the end of the month
Same time next week ? I'm thinking of leaving the car in baddow and riding to the carpark to start

Don't think I'll be able to make this sunday.. got to be presentable and in southend at lunchtime. Might do a ride over hadleigh instead if the weathers good!

No worries I've not ordered a mech yet

I should be ok for this sunday.

Anyone still up for a ride tomorrow? 9am or 10am I am flexible.

It was like a swamp today, even around the car park. It did not look that bad yesterday morning but today it was hard work. I thought I add few extra miles by ridding from Chelmsford (and putting up with smirking roadies flying past, pfff). The problem with that is that the Crown pub in sandon is far too inviting on the way back. I had to stop and think for a minute then I realised that I am covered in mud all the way up looking like the chicken pox hit me, there is a good chance they will hit me with a baseball bat thinking its robbery. I hope for no rain till after next weekend (Thetford WS3).

I had another mechanical. Managed a mile gears kept skipping so I tighten the rear axle the chain skipped between the cassette and spokes no biggy,but is wedged between the hub and a rivet on the cassette so need to remove the cassette
I need to strip and rebuild the bike which is annoying as I've got an essay in for 28th so no spare time this week

Its a good thing its broken down, no? With the essay due in a week you dont want to be riding for hrs. Get the studies out of the way first then worry about the bike. Danbury will still be there. I just booked WS3 so I wont be around next Sunday. You can get more work done

Im only studying so i can get a new bike and a merc vito its my only form of escapism

That's plenty of motivation. Stick with it.
