Morning all. The lovely Mrs GM has just brought me up a cup of . Looks a bit grey out there at the moment, time to catch up with the iplayer before getting up.
Good morning folks. Windy and rainy here today. Another bleh day by the looks of it.
Dog walked, just enjoying a nice relaxing Forest. Today I will be dismantling the drivers door of the Little Tykes car to replace the cable for the internal handle. Not a difficult job, but long winded cos the inner card and outer door skin have to both come off. New cable was £20 from Mercedes, and I'm not chucking cash at Fred In A Shed when I can do it myself.
Its next week that is worrying

Built one up for a mate yesterday. He then ask me to take it for a spin today as i was going out with some of the club.Arrived at the metting place. Everyone was suprised to see me on a E bike. Anyway they all thought it looked good. Took a bit of getting used to.as i am used to Di2.did not take long i was soon flicking through the gears like pro. First thing i really noticed was how comfatable it was.Pro logo saddle felt really nice. We only did 26 miles so not really a hard ride. But i could end up trying one on my own bike. Anyway the E bit.felt a bit strange to start with. The motor cutting in and out. 15mph the motor cuts out. Then you are on your own. I did struggle to stay with the guys on the long flats. The bike is heavy. But when it came to the hills. This is what its all about. Effortless climbing. The guys where really impressed with my climbing. Icould have gone a lot quicker and taken a few KOMs. But that is not what i am about. Just keeping it at my usual pace. I would not have one myself. Well not yet anyway. But when i start to struggle with the normal club rides. I would defo think about one. So to round up i think there is a place for these. It would make life a lot easier for a few old boys and girls. Not really for the young. Or idiot KOM hunters.but if it helps put bums on saddles thats fine. Am looking forward to the Saturday ride. Paul will be pulling me up a few hills. But he is going to suffer on the short sharp hills once we get over 15mph.
I know. We could be in for quite a lot of low temps and maybe even snow.
Its more the snow that is the worry. It causes chaos.
The cold weather is not nice but you can cope with it I suppose.
I saw hiw badly parts of Europe have fared and it didnt look good.
Forecasting 8 - 10 deg here for the next 10 days.I know. We could be in for quite a lot of low temps and maybe even snow.
Good morning people! I haven't had a good look outside yet but it seems a tad damp and breezy.
I hope you didnt all have a pee in the bushes...... we are staying at the Pollensa Park come June.. As it was quite chilly we had arranged to be at the island by the Pollensa Park to give them a cheer and grab their gilets that they abandoned as they passed.
