[Gravity Aided]

This evening I've entered my first time trial in almost two years, which is in early March. Two things to note:

- I'll be using my pink Raleigh 653 for the TT, as I've entered the 'steel frame' bike category.
- I'm not sure what they'll think of me using downtube shifters on a TT.

My aim? Not coming last.

Downtube shifters do give you a crisper, more immediate shift, IMHO.

It's been a good few days for me,
The old car passed its MOT on Friday with no advisories (phew)
The sun made an unusual appearance over the weekend with spring like temps resulting in me giving the lawn a quick going over with the mower ( nothing like the smell of cut grass)
And on Sunday I went for a nice Sunday drive through the Welsh countryside with the top down in the iron chariot looking like a complete burk no doubt, but never the less it felt nice

The fire has been banked early (not that I had it going at more than a low burn), and I am sat tucked up in bed with the laptop. My right leg was not happy earlier while sat in a chair. This is more comfy.

And now it's time for me to head off to bed proper via a nice hot bath.

Nunnight one and all xxx
