    Still over at the wife's uncles, with house envy

    When the wife surfaces we will probably head back and have a relaxed day around the house, when I say relaxed I imagine there will be paintballing and go-kart fun with the rugrats

    Morning folks.
    My new weather station thingy tells me it's now a balmy 4'C and sunny. The window confirms it is indeed sunny. Might go out for a stroll shortly, maybe with a pub stop en route.
  • Couldn't find an open cafe yesterday, seems even chillier today.

    Thanking everyone for going today. Chilling around the home and phoned some LBS to see who was open as I need some pedals as my look keo's are knackered and being the shittest pealds I've ever owned means a new pair rather than a refurb.

    We really need to have a clear out too since the avalanche of pressies fro the toots.

    Me worked today me. Mostly calm with a bit of sunshine. Pedalling later this week.
    Next week OH is off and will be off for 6 weeks. That means vicarious pedalling and PPP malarkey.

    I have Look Keo carbon - lovely. Got them on here. Pretty sure you'll get a pair on fleabay.

    Cheers Pinno, I had the Carbon blades which comprehensively squeaked unless you applied black tape to them. The cleats wore out quickly and after 12 months the left pedal needed a refurb at which point I've swapped them for a new pair of shimano spd's.

    I had that - especially with the grey cleats. Cured with a bit of grease on the lock plate.
