27th March 2010

Had a very late night last night....but still woke up far to early this morning :-(

I got up and changed straight into cycling gear...it is tough these days to know what to wear! I opted for long sleeve top, jacket, windbreaker, cycling trousers and sealskinz socks...unfortunately it was to much and I melted :-(

I headed of for the Chippenham Cemetery for the start of the chain gang, the Peugeot was noticeably faster with the summer tyres on :-)

The ride was a real pleasure, the pace was perfect and the Peugeot was rolling along with ease :-)

The Garmin had the ride as 40.72 miles in 2 hours 13 minutes with an average speed of 18.3 mph, route here...

When I got home I spent an hour on the phone (Skype) with my sister in Australia fixing her computer, then I showered, changed and went out for Morissons brunch and the weekly shop :-)

Mid afternoon I tidied up the hallway and fitted the Lidl bike hangers, now all of the good bikes have a permanent indoor home :-)

And still plenty of room to walk by :-)

All I have to do for it to be perfect is tidy the front porch and free up the door (We don't use the front door except to retrieve post)

I cooked tea for daughter n me (wifey n son went out), I also started preparing the beef in red wine pot roast for tomorrow's tea .

After all that I fitted the shiny new Red Krylion Carbons to the Merida...

They are a bloomin tight fit! I loath using levers to fit tyres but I had NO choice....if they are still up in the morning then at least I didn't pinch the tubes :-)

I am looking forward to the first club TT on Wednesday....it will be interesting to see how far off last years pace I will be :-)
