Put cycle kit on, booted up computer and it didn't.......spent half an hour or so fixing it then had breaky and surfed the net a bit......
Eventually I made it out on the bike..Told wifey I would go for a shortish ride as I had lots of things to do.....
Unfortunately as the pedals started turning I forgot I was on a short ride and ended up going a little further a field :-)
The cycle computer had the ride as 50.78 mile's in 3 hours with an average speed of 16.8 mph
The GPS track can be found here...
When I got back from the ride I showered changed and had lunch then started working on Son's car...
The Head gasket has blown in a rather spectacular way...
Halford's failed to get the headset in - even though it was ordered and promised for Friday/Saturday...
Whilst I was still a bit messy I degreased and cleaned up the chain and sprocket sets - on the Merida.
After the 3rd shower of the day I set about washing the bike then cooking BBQ for tea......
The benefits of doing long rides are I can eat what I want and don't feel guilty...I am wondering if the 3 Green Goblins (Cider) may have been a bit to much though....
They didn't seem to inhibit the re-oiling of the bike to badly...I think.....
