For the first time this summer the temperature hit 40c. l stopped going outside to check how it felt after about half an hour ! lt's a balmy 30c right now ...l can deal with that ok but 40 is just a bit excessive methinks

Had my first puncture on recumbent after 6,500km. Sod’s law said the tyre levers were in rack pack on road bike. Walked 4km home and puncture now patched and levers in recumbent seat bag. Lucky not during longer ride tomorrow. Must pay attention when moving toolkit between bikes.

Maybe time to invest in a separate tool kit for each bike? That way you won't be caught on the hop. DAMHIKT.

Making potato salad for tomorrow. Although I have been allowed access to the microwave I'm trying to keep some variety.

If we split the difference it would takes us all to just below 30. I vote for climate sharing.

I vote for climate sharing.

That is the most Treehuggy New Age hippyesque statement on the entire internet. Ever.

That was

Spaghetti with spinach, pesto and parmesan, plus roasted peppers, courgettes and garlic on the side. And for afters, the juiciest, sweetest, ripest mango ever.

I changed the brake pads on the back of my mountain bike. Building a '90s MTB up into touring spec works really well and I am very happy with the bike but......

I ****ing hate cantilever brakes

Your old 7 speed hub may have a screw thread whereas 8 speed cassettes are splined I think . You might be able to use a longer axle and use spacers with a 7 speed sprockets and just adjust the limit screws to suit .

There are plenty of screw on 8 speed freewheels on Ebay mate.. like this one:

I think I hate you! Get back here and suffer with the rest of us! Cold, damp, miserable... that's PROPER weather!
