Nothing much happened yesterday, certainly nothing worth writing about - apart from the fact that OH has a bad cold :-( Just in time to go back to work - coincidence? Hmmm . . .
Today all the shops are back to normal, and I got a call from Evans to say my bits had arrived - I ordered some new tyres. Got them in size 700c x 28 for Summer riding, also managed to get another £3 off the Evans 'sale' price because they price-match. This means I find what I like on their website and then Google for that product; simplez!
We then popped up to Dales (better people and service) to book the Sirrus in for a service. I need a new chain and the wheels are getting a bit wobbly. Whilst I was there I asked about changing the gearing on the Allez; want to change the chain rings from 50/34 to 45/30 after a reading an article. The mechanic, with whom I have spoken before, was very helpful but said that it would be tricky to find parts that would all fit together. He suggested that it would be easier to change the rear cassette from 12/25 to 11/32 (Deore). All that would be required would be a long cage rear derailleur and a new chain (plus the new cassette of course). He will have a look at what's available and we can chat on Friday when I drop the Sirrus in.
Whilst we were in Dales we looked at the new bikes. Well, doesn't everyone? I shouldn't really because it just makes me drool ;-)
Anywho! Home now and sorting some washing whilst OH is cooking - salmon. Got a phone call earlier from a friend whose brother-in-law has started his own business and is looking for an accountant - that would be me then! No rest for the wicked, back to work tomorrow and all is ready - brakes checked, tyres pumped and lights charged.
