Bike Service and f f f frustration

From last Tuesday onwards then>>......The bike was serviced on Tuesday day, and come the morning of Thursday 23rd July Christian and I set off on a planned shorter ride....only to find one of the back roads had been relaid with chippings!! which was a nightmare....then my gears started slipping. Now there is nothing worse than the inevitable 'nut crunch' when you go to stand up and push hard on the pedals only to find the gears slipwhen the full power and weight is launched on the pedals! So after tweeking the wire tightness most the way round the ride I think they are now sorted. So we managed 12 miles on the Thursday.

Saturday morning I planned a biggy! So I went out on my own and managed 3 hrs and some 40+ miles, so well chuffed. And the main thing was feeling really good afterwards.

Sunday, Tanya and I went on a 5 mile walk, then Monday was football night. And after not being very well Sunday night I was not sure about being able to run around a football pitch after a ball, but as it turned out the run made me feel a whole lot better.

So the rest of this week as been a let down and no real exercise, Friday tomorrow and I hope to get a couple of hours in!!!

Watch this space for developments over the weekend on the planning of the charity event and a confirmed date in July 2010.
