No wonder I woke up starving morning everyone
I had a twisty gear change on my right hand, forward for up and backwards for down. Now I keep flicking the up lever instead of the down one and to top it all, I have one on my left hand too which works the other way! I generally just leave that in 2 though.
I do hope you are appreciating my technical terminology....
Twisty is an acceptable term, I used to have them on a mountain bike.
You know you didn't have to stop posting on here just because you weren't riding a bike?

Morning peeps............thought I would throw caution to the wind and post in here for a change. Lol.
Might be spending most of the day lounging at the computer as I still can't shake off a tummy bug thing. Rain and wind anyway so I'm not missing much.
I had an old mountain bike for a while with twisty grips but I didn't like them..........sometimes found when getting off and pushing the bike through gates, etc you twisted them by mistake, then had to sort yourself out when you got back on because it had tried to change gear.

Can I just say I am so loving my new bike, went ut and did 7 miles this morning, not a lot I know but I went on roads and everything, usually I just stick to cycle paths.

Well done. I think 7 miles was also about the length of my first ride and it nearly killed me. Lol. Onwards and upwards now. You will progress very quickly if you can even manage two or three rides per week.

It's blooming cold here, I've got my duvet on the sofa. I am not putting the heating on. I am not *stamps feet in a petulant sort of way*

Hi all,
Cold pizza for breakfast, washed down with a cuppa.
It is the Grandparents 52nd wedding anniversary today!

That poster sums up my attitude quite accurately. For a great many years I've been encouraging Mrs B to learn to enjoy silence but she usually seems to be too busy talking to listen to my oft repeated suggestion!!

Probably later!
What I am hoping to do is ride to work 4 rimes a week, I go to the gym on Wednesdays so I cant ride and do gym on the same day as I will die! On the other days I swim so I figure my riding and a 20 length swim each morning should get me a lot fitter.
I have had an awesome day, started off with my 7 mile ride this morning, then off to the village where I run my Guides for out village May Feast. We have raised £165 on our sweetie tombola which means the Guides can have new cooking equipment in time for camp at the end of May. Happy Nicky!
