….Bikes!”
So I followed her advice…
I collected my new bike from my local bike shop yesterday evening and took it out for a ‘short’ spin this morning.
Of course, it’s weight is about 50% of the old bike, so it’s pretty fast too – on a windless day I broke a load of my previous best wind assisted segment times on Strava.
Bought a ‘camel back’ today with the intention of taking a longer ride at the weekend – forecast is excellent – sunny and hot, so plenty of fluid will be necessary.
There’s still room in my basement for one more bike……
Awesome! I look forward to hearing how you get on at the weekend. I’m planning 1000m ascent if the thunder storms hold off 🙂 Julian accidentally bought a new bike too…
Like from me too! Rob, Tim, Kirsty and I had an epic cycle in the Alps last week so v tempted by a new bike too – city hybrids are not efficient! X
