What have I done to get this ?

Ah! The thing is you know what he's up to !

I wish I did, some will get half a mile down the road and will be boloxed, some have genuine pace, some will be faster than me on a climb but the same pace on the flat, some will be training so they'll come past slow down then come past again.

Being passed by a fast rider just reminds me of how much pace I've lost over the years, especially if that rider happens to be a friend who I used to ride with years ago.

Being passed was normal for years, when you ride a steel long bike it is inevitably a bit slower than a road bike, and the Bakfiets is 35 odd kilos of steel and plywood, so it is like driving a truck.

My first ride on the new tourer this year was quite startling: suddenly I'm not the slowest rider on the road...

That must have been a revelation. I'm 68 now, and I've got friends that are now in their 60's and 70's who haven't slowed down at all, they're still riding at the pace they had when we were on the club rides together.

Stop playing with the buttons, honestly it's just like a small child would behave.

Best laid plans... Just about to pick up son in law for biking and he phones to say the heating has stopped working.

Fortunately it was just the pump at the end of life though the whole back boiler system is being replaced this yr.

So looks like a biking afternoon unless another family crisis occurs before lunch

My forlorn browning christmas tree just collected by a local hospice charity. Donation paid, the spirit of christmas alive and well.

Sit yourself down....

It was one heck of a shock: I had to keep braking.
