Might get a run in
Gym later
But it's good day and worthy of a pedal after some shenanigans and the run around.
Do a bike fit - you can do a calculation online.

Looking at the Hurricane or the Pro Carbon.
I'm 177cm which is a fraction under 5'10: the PX size guide says Medium is for 5'7" to 5'10" and Large is for 5'9" to 6'0". My mate is pretty much exactly the same height as me (maybe half an inch taller) and went for a Large, which he says is fine for him, but had the same conundrum.
Makes sense to go have a sit on his.

It's sad but better when those on the way out let go at last, per TLW's gran; been through that.
Should get off in a bit for a sunny pedal, outdoors action been delayed by another stropette messaging sesh with energy provider, 4 months after taking ownership they've still not activated my account properly, sent out one wildly over estimated bill for an empty property at end of May, since then zip, multiple meter readings submitted, nothing... now get an auto email saying I'm not paying enough. GTF, I've been paying directly every few weeks based on actual consumption and their tariff rates. Maybe employ some admin staff rather than rely on bots.
RIP to TLW,s gran. They were made of harder stuff back then. Dropping bike off to be sorted and out for a few hours later. Not sure if I mentioned it but today's my Friday. Might chill out tomorrow or go to Degla. See how i feeĺ
Stevo - my planet flex race bike is medium (with long stem) but gravel bike large
RIP TLW's gran.
Costa del not much sol today and tomorrow according to the weather forecast. Still hot mind.
Proper bloody Del Boy that one.
Rep “Hello sir, I’m from the R.N.I.B, have you heard of us?”
Me “Yes of course, the Royal National, Lifeboat Inside.”
Rep “Err, no.”
I’m not good under pressure, think I panicked.
Good ride rided earlier; keep those legs turning. Couple nice sightings: coming down a narrow valley road, a young roe deer came out from the side, I slowed, it trotted along for a bit before jumping away.
Then later passing some fields where farmers were silage cropping, they'd machined the cut grass into rows / furrows(?) for the big grabbing thing to jet the grass into the mega trailers. There were 4 red kites circling low, on the scavenge, plus 1 buzzard looking for whatevs. One kite swooped right in front of me and grabbed something. Hereabouts people still post red kite pics on soshul meejah whereas back in The Valley red kites are everywhere. Looks like they're expanding here as well, good to see.
