Nothing bike related, I'm afraid.

I am waiting on a large voucher for the CTW scheme to come through the post in the new year so there is still hope.

The young lad I passed climbing the hill before my house was on his new bike and loving it . His dad huffing and puffing on the mountain bike struggling to keep up may but have been enjoying as much . First sight of an Xmas bike

I got two bells, one from each of my grandchildren

My inbox was also filled with festive mail from seemingly every cycle firm I've ever dealt over the last decade offering me deals I simply can't refuse.. Sadly, I'm refusing them anyway.

I got some bits to build a wheel for my bike. However the rim is going back on Wednesday as the nameless firm sent the wrong one

My missus said she wanted a touring bike for Christmas.
I bought her a Ridgeback Tour.
She's over the moon with it.

Looks a good job, realistic gearing, nice deep front mudguard, quality Tubus rack, Marathons already fitted.

I'm not a big fan of cable discs, but if you don't get on with them the flat bars means you could upgrade cheaply and easily to hydraulics.
