No plans for today
Weather looks ok, no rain forecast here.
Made it to holiday house in reasonable time to have a swim and a lounge before food. I must say it's bloody lovely. Currently 25 degrees but heading for 30 later. Need to get some food and drink in, other than that much unwinding.
Marin Nail Trail
Cotic Solaris
Today is tidy up after last nights party and probably the pub
Anyhoo, as soon as the bacon smells rise, they'll turn up.
When was the last time I had an opp for a pootle on a bike? Seems a long while back...
Will be going to the circus.
Will see Micha (from same circus). He stopped me a mile from home 'cos he had a loose left crank arm and asked if I could help.
Got home and found the daftest, shittyest, over engineered Japanese stuff on it. 2 (2?! crank arms bolts. What a faff.
Campag - 1 bolt that keeps the whole thing together and would, if you had a press fit BB, keep the press fit BB in place at between 46 and 52nm. (Never needed to tighten to 52. Always done 46nm).
Then discovered the right lever was loose... and a brake pad at a slight tangent... and a loose pedal... and black bar tape in various places around the frame to [in Eastern European accent] 'protect frame'!
Frame was Eusebi(?). Never heard of it.
Hardly any mainstream people there, mainly supplements and recovery shizzle. Highlight was some of the stunt displays and the little ones having a go. OH is now taking me for some lunch to try and make amends.
I made them!
Up, mint tea, bowl of cherries and greek yoghurt, crossword, dog walk, lunch with mini and Mrs B³, walk back, loafing, reading father's day gift of a book on the history of science, whilst wearing some very nice gifted socks, watch rain fall, at least I don't have to water everything.
Wfw tomorrow, then playing it by ear, as everyone else will be disrupted by the tube strikes, which might also mean every spoon with a rusty old bike will be on the road, or driving.
I mean, most are huge and in days of old, I used to draft them at 20mph but now they go 40 plus and it has to be a tailwind or slight downhill with a 150m sprint to get in the draught.
