Have a good day
A few jobs then into town, then cider
Not much planned, outside probably trying to dodge zombies, plus deflecting criticism for choosing not to break covid rules to do bike races I don't want to do anyway.
Stunning breathless, cloudless day here before winter. The end is nigh (for the remaining tree stumps), holes drilled in them and pickled in flammables for a year.
...and do you have black shorts Nibnob? They all have black shorts those cyclerists I see and black tops and black helmets and black socks and black shoes.
Windy and bliwey as censored so doing some stuff in the gym.
Had email last night pinging me away to do stuff that means 72 days out of it including 5 different countries. Not happy as this wasn't meant to happen so kicking back.
Apart from that, kinda groovy.
Serious lie-in this morning, porridge porridged, very nice with a mashed ripe banana and a slightly runny, deep roast peanut butter mixed through. I intend to read lots today
Not so traditional slow start is being enjoyed, love a long weekend. Should do a bit of fettling later, cars and bikes are in need of some loving. D'oh! Forgot to pick up a starter relay for the Mini when I was at work. That's one less job to do.
What's the motorbike nibnob? Haven't had one that works for a few years. We don't mention my Bonnie as the EPO talks about selling it if she is reminded of it. Lad wants to get his licence soon.
Better make some coffee to aid procrastination.

new sram chainring working like a chainring should, also replaced the bowties on m' speedplays as the old ones were quite worn, necessary as the new wahoo versions are both pug-ugly and heavier
Next door's black cat came to hide in the shade, I think he was a bit warm.
Decided I should get round to replacing that freehub body:
Which has involved cleaning up a rusty cartridge bearing a repacking with grease because LBS is shut for bank hols.

Baby sleeping so quick sandwich and an espresso before much boozing in the park for a friend's bday. Only question is what to do with all the litter? Leave it lying around, yeah?
New bike is a Ribble CX AL. Nothing particularly extravagant but it ticks all of my rather specific boxes at a pretty decent price, especially using Cyclescheme. Ribble said it would be delivered in September then it came in a week
It is red. Got a nice sparkle to it that wasn't apparent in the website photos.
I do have black shorts, but I thought everyone did. No black jerseys (one for the MTB but that doesn't count) or helmet though. Don't understand the stealth look when you're already vulnerable enough cycling on roads.
SV650 so again, nothing particularly exotic. But it's cheap fun and serves its purpose very well. Though I have just spotted the common clutch cover oil leak. Suzuki in their infinite wisdom on the first gens used a plastic cover bolted to the metal engine casing. Inevitably the plastic warps with time and causes a little drip.
Now chilling with the hounds while the female part of the household goes out for some fresh air.
Does anyone know where this is?
It's all nice and fixed now, making that lovely Hope noise that people hate
Set of bearings on order for when I next bother to do any maintenance on it.
Will lob them on the next build I sell together with some Lifeline tyres and tubes so it'll be a nice profit maker.
#speculatetoaccumulate
also polished my Dr Ms.
#constructive day.
Today run hurt, think I may still be recovering. Mmmmmm sunshine and cider time
