Not expecting to hear any news of my steed today, so sitting here reflecting on a week of little biking activity. I did venture out last night for a brisk walk and thought I'd do the same this morning but alas I can't get up the enthusiasm. There is something special in the whole preparation for a ride that I just don't get in grabbing a coat and putting on shoes for a walk.
The clothing, day-glow or lycra; the gloves, full or fingerless; is the air warm enough now to forgo the cap, or will leaving it behind induce that 'ice cream sandwich' headache; fixing the headphones for my latest audio book read; tightening helmet in place, small screw at the rear and chin strap secure; pre-flight checks, lights on or off, starting gear correct, water bottle full or not required; Endomondo engaged, 10 second countdown; takeoff!
Missing my steed.
News just in .. parts are on order! Will comment more on this in tomorrow's update
