Tea? (Part 2)

[Archie_tect]

The trailer drawbar has a bend in it so that it attaches at an angle to the axle. That allows clearance for the wheel when turning right. It seems to be a fairly standard arrangement for bike trailers that attach this way.
You can see it better from this photo of the trailer in my workshop.

Thanks, looks good.

Walking the dog today, I notice our local owl is now giving out a safety message:

NT, with the racing bike's trailer arm attached to the left hand side of the rear wheel hub, how does it pivot to let you turn right?

I'm flattered that you refer to that as the 'racing bike'. With me on board, it doesn't feel very racy!

On the other hand, it's served me damn well, and sports a me-built front wheel that I'm rather proud of.

We're just back from eating out. Italian this time as the Chinese had no spare tables.

I shared half of this with my dinner

Which half did your dinner get?

Ah right I see Half of it was cooked and that half was shared with my Mrs and my #1 daughter. Does that make better sense?

That carrot was grown and harvested by my very hand . I can honestly say it tasted very corrotty indeed.

Afternoons!!
Did a rather chilly 20 miles to get a bacon roll and a pot of Earl Grey
And I picked up a huuuuuuuge slab of bread pudding for later

 

[coffeejo]

It is a little chilly. The warm jacket will be going in my saddle bag in case it's needed when I take the bike out later.

 

[TheDoctor]

It was my first run in the new CC long sleeved top too. I'm glad I wasn't in short sleeves.
Where are you off to later, Jo?

 

[coffeejo]

One of my favourite rides: up to the coast (Bridgwater Bay) and then back inland via the borders of Exmoor NP.

*envies*
I must drag myself down to that part of the world at some point. Annoyingly, I'll be zooming past on Friday and again on Sunday, en route for South Wales to get repeatedly drunk with visit my Dad.

Don't be blaming us angelic tea folk for your lack of willpower Colin, as you would know if you were in here regularly we are all on pre-christmas detox diets

Bit of a cock up on the no-chocolate front last night ... My chocoholic friend was coming round so I bought a £1 special offer (huge!) bar of mint Aero for her. I ate half of it without even thinking about the fact that I am officially off chocolate!

I never liked the taste of Chinese tables - they always seem to taste of bamboo. I much prefer Italian tables, though you have to watch out for the splinters!
