starting a long week of vacation, beginning this Friday. July is gonna fly by, I just know it. if only there was a way to slow it down ...

Apply the front brake and rock it backwards and forwards, it will usually show if they are loose .

Thanks for the tip I'm sort of learning there's a difference between "road tight" and "off road tight" For all that it's mostly flat out here, those gravel trails have got some fairly hairy bits.

Ah, the tete de la course is just about to hit Mont Ventoux for the first time today.

I hope Cavendish manages to keep ahead of today's cut off time. A tough day for the sprinters.

Well, my knees are aching just from watching... Yeah, fingers crossed - the pace up front is infernal.

Anyways, had a lovely lunch of two slices of wholemeal toast with the last of the rillettes de porc, a banana, half a punnet of raspberries and two

I'm looking forwards to the highlights tonight.

If you have a large garage, you could fit a tank in it, and still have room for some bicycles.

got a pic of the one in our neighborhood yesterday, in the rain. the owner runs a septic service. I guess he keeps it out front to help drum up business? anyway, I think it is a tank. I don't know anything about them. it's pretty small but looks legit

Finally managed to book my second covid jab for Monday afternoon. Not in Ely, which is a pain, but I've managed to get a slot in Downham Market, which is still local-ish. So it will be bike-train-bike. One stop on the train if I go from Littleport.

This is the magic trick, as I will probably be contacted by the place in Ely *after* I've had my second jab...

Just looking at train times. Outbound train is fine for my appointment time. Inbound train, unless I get *very * lucky, I'll have to wait at least three quarters of an hour. It's only 16 miles home...

My lazy day led me to ordering a takeaway. However, because my address is difficult to find, I didn't want to risk delivery from somewhere only half a mile away. So I'm going to have to go out on the bike.

(I can't remember when I last had a takeaway. Maybe 2 years ago.)

Or buy an external hard drive, plug it in and move files there.

A cloud account might be an option too. As would a network drive.

Lady issues today, and I feel absolutely godawful.

If anyone fancies the herd of heffalumps currently tap dancing on my middle, they are welcome to them.
