Fifteen minutes to go and that's the end of work for this year.

Can't decide whether to stop at the chippie or the Chinese for tonight's meal.

Chippie.

It is the closest to home and I'm on a 'slow' bike today so it would keep warmest...

 

[Jenkins]

Right, that's it. Just about to shut down the work PC, lock up the building and head home for junk food and a couple of sherbets

Preparing for a 100k ride tomorrow to see in the new year. The weather report says -3°c, rising to +3° after midday. Probably not worth taking fingerless gloves.

The goal is to get to a pass in the hills to the south to see in the sunrise at 0815. We shall see...

Epic! Don't use fingerless gloves or the name will be more of a prophesy than a description.

Do you think that works the other way? if I give all my clothes names like "Super fast never tired muscles trousers" will that have the same effect?

Worth a try at least.

This is what I've been up to. I don't know if it will work out, but I thought I would give it a go .
It is a Brooks B5N from my 1971 Holdsworth.

Thanks for that. Now I understand the problem.

Not the first time the front fell off something critical.

The realization that your e-bike battery is on impulse power...... With 7 miles to go...

This has got to be the 2019 Mundane post ever.Near me,they have spent millions on altering road junctions to ease congestion.it is getting mixed reviews.So this morning i went for a walk,to said road improvements.I stayed for 30-40 mins.Standing at various parts of the layout.I can report the following.

Motorists not stopping at lights when they have gone to red.
Motorists stopping when lights are green.
Motorists NEARLY failing to stop when Green man showing and lights at red, at a crossing,i tested that one i had to point to the driver the light colour.
Motorists on mobile phones
Pedestrian old man crossing on a red man,very dangerous sir.
Motorists in wrong lanes.
Motorists cutting up other motorists because of being in wrong lanes
Lots of horn honking
Cyclist going through a red light.
Two cyclists going the wrong way down a one way street.
Motorists having two wheels in one lane and two wheels in another.


So it will be fun next week when everyone is back at work.

Anyone done anything more mundane than that.

 

[Andy in Germany]

On a red bike, yes.

That's alright then.
