I have stripped my friend's rear wheel down and the bearings show over 50% wear . What I mean is that 5 of the 9 ball bearings have flats on them , one of the cones has a pit in it .
The crank also has play in it so I will strip that down next .

Will you be my friend , l'm sure lots of my bikes would be happy to have your attention

Reported the two knobbers riding the electric MX bikes to security, they already knew about them on the caravan site.

Ran into these idiots every day this week when on my real bikes. I'd get in their way if I was on the big trail MTB, not the super expensive old road bike...

Warm and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard, but we have had the odd drizzly shower.

My day did not get off to a good start, because I overslept massively. Then the football - we won't talk about that. And then my downstairs laptop power cable went *fzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt* which tripped the fuse. Need to buy a replacement power thingy and some new fuses, as I have used my last 5 amp fuse.

Qualifying for Spa was, euhm, interesting. Not sure what's going on with the W-Series.

I am now making lime & ginger marmalade.

He must have been quite a keen collector.

Sounds good to me

I got called a selfish pr1ck today

Drove into an at least 2/3 empty Wickes carpark today, loads and loads of empty spaces. As I pulled in I noticed I was going to interfere with a guy getting in his car near where I was going to park...so I moved over and slightly straddled two spaces.
We climbed out, he was pulling away and wound down his window and said....nice parking, ya selfish....

I surveyed the mostly empty carpark and retorted...
'Yeah, cos I can see I'm really depriving someone of a space mate '

You may agree with him...as Catherine Tate says...do i look bovvered ?

Never would do it in a busy car park btw

I've managed to get mine down to 4.41km. It takes skill and dedication.

Has his surname been spell checked I wonder ?

Had a very mixed day today. Football was 5 star and I was a happy boy but I had a little twinge in the back. Put on a bit of RadionB and went for a ride in the sunshine. 22 miles of joy. Even caught a sight of the Parakeets at Chorlton.
Then I got home and it happened....
Lower back has gone on me! Hopefully just a muscle injury so I`ll keep putting on the RadionB and relax for a day or two.

Marmalade made.

Supper consumed - just avocado on toast tonight as I couldn't be bothered.

A drunked.

I now need a wee.

I'm rather hoping that you're not talking about the 12:30 Premiership game...

I'm not a sports psychologist but I'm fairly certain some goal therapy might help. (I mean the goal in front....)

I'd say it's the two pints of whisky you've had, not the phone keyboard.

Guess what two pints and a whisky,but no running to the loo every five mins,what's going on.

Edinburgh was glorious this morning,our daughter had us out for a walk up Blackford Hill,oh what a walk but the view is stunning.
