First ride

Err... It's been over a week. And my memory's not that good. Let's see.

Thursday would have been 5 a side. And more footie after work on Friday. A weekend that went by in a flash. A working week that took a lot longer.

M came home last night, bringing his old road bike home. He rode it back from the station. Today was to be the final fitting out of the new road bike. But it didn't go well, the cheap Chinese derailleur hanger didn't quite line up with the hole in the frame so it didn't lie flat and the gears didn't work. And the chain had been butchered around a bit. So, taking pity on the boy (and having a wee headache anyway), I gave the footie a miss and came home and helped him sort it out. I've grown up with bits that don't fit and a bit of filing soon sorted it out.

It all looks terribly smart. And even has a cheap Chinese cycle computer complete with cadence count.

This was the very first does-it-all-work? ride!

And it did!
