I'll back the swivel mount up, I haven't bought the wide angle lens, yet!

Well worth it Chris certainly at my speeds, you may want a longer throw if going faster.

I would rather sell my bike than my camera. So I understand the dilemma.

Yeah, but, you ride a Viking (there is no fishing smilie?)

I would rather sell any bike than my camera kit, I had to sell my kit some years ago and I wept, I dont think I would weep quite so much over any bike, even one thats took me almost half way around the world (mind you you must be nearly home )

At last I got out.
Swelling down on right foot so squeezed it into shoe and away we went.

Turbo just finished....Phew!! 35 min at an average rpm of 90.
Have no way of recording data so just do 30-35 min @ an average of 80-90 rpm, it gets my heart pumping that's for sure.

Unfortunately, my laptop charger has given up the ghost.

No progress this morning as the roads were very icy and tomorrow is forecast gales and then back to ice the day after that. I think the week is going to have very little cycling.

Just took the dog a walk and attempted a bit of my other sadly neglected hobby of photography. Quite liked this one.
