So, im not at work today so i thought i might go for a shakedown potter on the rudge after the rebuild.
I head out on the excuse for roads that Derbyshire county council provide.

Bike rides gooooooood. So the couple of miles i meant to go turned into five.
Heres the rub . After about 4 miles i notce the handlebars are skew wift. Not having picked up the gasmask bag of tools i usually take i thought id best head back to casa robsa.
Red mess decides that she now doesnt like hills and wont engage bottom gear on the fw hub. And wants a career change to being a brake operated bloody foghorn.
Heading back i get a kamakazi fly in my good eye and dont notice the worlds biggest pot hole. I say pot hole , it would have done bomber command credit. This gargantuan road chasm causes the vintage wrights leather saddle to split right around the nose and plonks my delicate derrier onto the seat stem.
Ouch!
Walk the final few miles back inventing new swearing combinations to mutter at the bloody bike.
Int cyclin great.

See you're a Minor fan as well. I was rather fond of those in my younger days.
