still mainly turbo sessions pre work 2 a week fat burning to wake me up and shed the excess .....
two nice runs last couple of weekends but fell onto saddle after a turbo sess this week thought i'd broke my ribs.
finally plucked up courage to re enter man cave today and give bike a clean and once over
glad i did had 3 slack spokes on rear wheel and by slack i mean rattling loose!!!!!
retightened no noticeable distortion of wheel (its going to be a winter /Turbo wheel come spring)

after a ride down to Scotland's most southerly point, "The Mull of Galloway" was feeling grand so opted for a more hilly route back and still cracking on decided to ? try the 4 lightouse cahallenge..... hmm thats when the puncture happend and i discoverd my pump was useless!!!!!!! so after rescue poor "Betsy B'Twin" was admoished to the Man Cave after a nights sleep and some chores i thought better look after me girl and got her ready fro spring/summer with the wheels i had acquired and new chain and cassette. she got a good old clean n lube too xx. all ready for fun ( ihave since repositioned the saddle angle ouch)

Makes you stronger. Heh, I'm guessing mine is even heavier - with nidd saddle, mudguards, rack, and I carry a lot of tools, and 2 large bottles. Folk who ride light bikes are just not good enough to ride a heavy one. Weight weenie = weak =P.
