The wheel removal and clamp on to a Wahoo Kickr is quick and easy.
All wheel off smart trainers are the same and it’s just getting one at a good price.
I kept my old Cannondale for my Kickr as it owes me nothing.

Wahoo Kickr Core works well and I have a bike permanently fixed to mine.
Some hate the indoor stuff but, being a spin class instructor I haven’t got an issue with using mine and it’s helped when the weather is crap and building back up after illness or injury!
I use Rouvy and do a few races.

Pembrokeshire Cycling.
It’s a great place to live and enjoy outside activities but on occasion, some have no control when put in charge of Two Tons of Scrap Metal with an engine.
Waste of time uploading to GoSafe Wales so here it is the fast, inconsiderate and dangerous driver.

Pembrokeshire Cycling
Heading out of our village this nob head decided to drive as fast as they can.
Hard to judge the speed but around 60 mph plus and with the rush of displaced air, he/she wasn’t hanging around.

Moon!
Shining through the windows so quickly got a couple of pics
whilst dinner was being served!
It’s a bit chilly this evening

The text messaging is a joke.
I wanted keep with the Sky Stream as it worked very well and we wanted faster broadband.
Had Sky mobile for years but, no signal in the village so that had to go.
Wouldn’t give me the same deal as a new customer so that did it so cancelled.

The pavement looked okay and if that was me, I’d have been on the pavement

Meep, my newsletter Call to Action is 13th rising in Health Politics on Substack! Thank you so much - if you read it could you possibly share this? Would be brilliant to get into the top 10! Let’s push the NHS to the top of the agenda! Ju πŸ’™

I did that but only when I could face the oncoming traffic on early in the mornings. The pavements back at our old place were on a slope, undulating and on bin day it was a nightmare on the pavement.
Never held anyone up and I avoided dogs on long leads.
I pay enough tax……

Drove me round the bend dealing with Sky.
Supposed to be a VIP customer.
Call centres teams don’t communicate with each department!
It’s only when I left they sent me a good offer and all it needed was a voice of reason saying, we want you to stay and how’s this Β£.

Where I live, I wouldn’t bother uploading as GoSafe Wales would state, it doesn’t meet our new forensic guidelines.
My latest rejection has been sent to the Crime Commissioner and guess what, not even had an acknowledgment.
Useless load of nonsense

That’s a shame and I’ll miss you. Being pushed off this platform by idiots shouldn’t be happening

I’m so sorry to hear this about your friend and I do hope that he makes further progress.

Years ago I was up in Northumberland on a training course.
Each team were given the management accounts of an ailing business you had purchased.
The strategy to turn the business around to the board in the boardroom was exciting and scary.
I think they should be in the spotlight on TV doing that.

Annoys me this flag waving crap.
Like others, I’ve been treated by medical professionals from all over the globe and I’m grateful for their hard work and dedication.
Wouldn’t trust these flag wavers with cleaning the toilets.

Never had sea legs. Felt green on a narrow boat.
But I did go around San Fransisco bay. Calm day.
Ferry to ireland is only 35 minutes away…butβ€¦πŸ€’

Pembrokeshire β€˜It’s a bit windy’
One of my favourite routes down a lane with views to the Preseli Hills is closed.
Fallen tree season has started!
I’ve ventured outside playing with Ruby 🎾 and the cold wind takes your breath away

Preparing for Storm Amy! Stormy sounds better……
Found 4 candles….but should I get fork handles…
Power bank and torches charged, flask at the ready and I’ve found the camping stove.
Fingers crossed.
And if brave enough, Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury in a world breaking or probably neck breaking time..

Good idea. I did a half hour one at threshold earlier and yesterday rode passed a restaurant with views of the orange terraces in Fornalutx.
Had a meal there some years ago and the food was superb
