My new bike...

[rich p]

...is the cheapest I could buy at Decathlon, Portimao. I've hopefully bought it online to serve me for 12 days while on holiday in Portugal. It's a Rockrider mtb summink or other and if I haven't screwed up, it should be waiting for me tomorrow in store.
The plan is to leave it chained up somewhere afterwards for my son to use, when he goes to the same place in August. He'll then donate it to a local lad or laddess when he's due to come back.

It's always good to try something new on holiday...

Google translate didn't inspire me with confidence so I won't be entirely surprised if it turns out I've ordered a canoe.

What a nice sentiment. Hope everything works as planned

A portimao is a type of dolphin.

Also a town in Portugal

Those cheap rockriders look pretty good for the money

Well, I left home this morning in a taxi to Gatwick at 3 am and picked it up this afternoon - yet to ride it but it looks good.
Tomorrow for it's first outing up the bleeding great hill nearby.

Stick a rapha badge on it and someone will buy it.
