Disappointed in myself.

On a positive note, nice wheelsets come with warranty.

Doesn’t stop me being hacked off but will work out.

When life decides your to happy and slaps you hard in the face.

Pot holes in Scotland are everywhere.

Different people from the existing regime? Maybe shouldn’t have blown them all up?

The Romans knew how to do this 2000 years ago yet you learn nothing.

I’ve raced cyclocross on a golf course.
Riding a bicycle through the bunkers was glorious.

On the plus side, if Farage became PM Irish reunification & Scottish Independence would be guaranteed.

He campaigned hard for leave, so no grounds to object.

Suprised at this manufacturing faux pas.

Garbaruk chainring doesn’t fit on a SRAM dub crank because 1 indent hasn’t been machined out enough.
Not a biggie, I can file it but never had any issues with Garbaruk parts before. Like ever. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I can report Deda Gera gravel bars are quite funky close up. Nice kit.

Coming to an adventure bike build near me soon.

This is a remake of Mr Ben.

Explainer:

UK 1970’s animated children’s TV where a man goes to a fancy dress shop, picks an outfit & has a fantasy based on the character he’s dressed as.

Porridge oats with milled flax seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds and banana.

Nutritious, healthy and so tasty.
