Tea?

[Mo1959]

6 mile run done so feeling a bit better for it. Decent day apart from the breeze but might be showers by lunchtime.

Morning fine folk of Tealandia
(and those who lurk, yes, that's you!)

Who gets yer bike if it doesn't?

Halfway down I realised I had picked up the wrong bag, that was my hiking rucksack..

Bike?
Haven't thought who'll inherit dear Polly,
this could be tricky....

I'm more worried about my puddy tat if I should pop my clogs suddenly. Lol.

Morning. What's everyone doing up when it's still dark? Lol.

I was feeling a bit fed up yesterday which resulted in me sitting around all day and stuffing my face with crap which I haven't done for a long time. Must get back on the straight and narrow today. Rain due by late morning, so I'll get a run in soon I think. We are in for a dry but windy spell. Bleeding hate the wind for cycling. Doesn't bother me running for all the speed I am going at. Lol.

I'm calling shenanigans..
for the highlighted text...
I can only aspire to do those speeds, bike and running..

nah, I'm impressed if your not,
keep up the good work

Good morning. May be the possibility of a reasonable length ride this morning.

Well poo.

Rear mudguard bracket snapped about 15km out, so I had to turn around and rattle my way back.

Just had another cup of tea to cheer me up, with a jam sandwich....

The brackets are usually quite strong. Last time I had mudguard problems, it was the guard itself that cracked and eventually split a few inches back from the seat stay bracket. I had a multi tool in the bag so removed the broken bit.

The mudguard had already torn, but was holding fine. This was the stainless steel bracket going up into the frame. I'm trying to find alternatives but it seems hardware stores don't sell such things...

What'd be a "reasonable length ride"?

Good Morning

Considering it was gone midnight when you went.

Fewer folk about when out walking.

Could you throw a few bends in along the straight and narrow. Just for variety.

You pulled the cord and lost yer camping gear. You get a Mayday off?

If you're planning on taking up base jumping, at your age, might be worth thinking who gets the bike. Especially if you don't check the chute before jumping.

Morning??

 

[Mo1959]

Woohoo. Found a streaming channel for the Solheim cup! Will watch a bit of that.

Any model shops nearby? Aluminium tubing to fit over the bracket, glued to hold either end in place.

Still nothing really. Model shops here tend to be box shifters. One locomotive costs several times more than my bike(s)...

May inner peace be yours today, good folk of Tealandia!

Any equivalent of B&Q or Wickes nearby?

Model shops that don't sell parts to finish your project!!
