Today is a run soon and then swim in the lake and then hot tub. Then off to the beach for body boarding and a decent lunch.
1st day of a 2 day course today, but it doesn't start until 9:30 so that messed up my plan of going for an early spin and getting in just in time for the start of it.
Lack of pedal today as No1 needs some slapping (etap mech failure)
Somewhat warmer no coincidence a large amount of seasoned lumber caught light across the channel. SRAM centre later for above reason then try an sort no2 for a sportive at the weekend.

Later will be Chicken Little. Hope it's good.
The rest of the time will be planting grass seed.
Poor Notre Dame.
Laters.
currently trying to drown pain in coffee.

Decorating, babysitting and grilled chicken awaits at home.
Another busy day in the paradise that is Hanworth. Managed to wobble in this morning at least, the days are getting warmer but a tad chilly first thing.
There was me thinking one of the MFs had stolen my back and put the broken one in it's place. Back is giving me severe gyp, I'm walking as though I've sharted. Riding the bike is not too bad at least.

Afternoon all, busy dealing with a mixture of banal and idiotic comments from auditors, but nothing of any concern. Legs still ache a bit from yesterday evening, must have been pushing on a bit after navigating my way through eco-hippies on the way home.

Who knows, anyway, mental imagery of beaches aside, its oddly getting misty here, faulty weather again no doubt.

i've justt been for a pedal on the slick shod mtb and its loosened up the back really nicely. It also ended up loosening my wallet as i bought a new Uvex aero helmet at a brilliant price to wear on the new S3 that has covered 6 miles in a month.
the MFs suggest that a pedalling, whilst popping shed loads of Naproxone at controlled drug levels, is the way to go.

there's an led on each shifter paddle, if it flashes green on a shift the battery is fine, fwiw mine are still ok after > 2 years (as are all the other etap bits)
several reports of rd failures seemed to pop up around the same time, i'd assume a quality problem with a component has resulted in batches with increased chance of early failure
sram are upholding the finest traditions of customer service by not being open on the issue, by now they surely must have enough data to at least publish serial number ranges of iffy units and allow dealers to quickly swap out failed ones without hassle
as my family found out last night, too much stacking of random stuff turns the MF into a giggling toddler.
i spent 3 hours on my back playing with one of The Hounds squeezy plastic toys laughing uncontrollably before crawling off to bed, taking some Ami and snoring all night.
just popped some more drugs now - must admit that bike ride was brilliant for the back.

Yeah, I ended up knocking off early and going to one the other side of town, their attitude was much better, bike was in the boot anyway in case they wanted to look at it. Which they did, serial number noted fault been raised as intermittent, they guy said its pretty straight cut, they will just replace it as it is a known fault. Just need to wait for a call to come in an exchange it..
Guess thats the difference between a chain Vs an independent

just go and burn the first one down to teach them a lesson. and when its rebuilt, burn it down again.
