Weather and Travel

After an Alan Partridge week staying in a hotel, I'm glad to be home.Ê Unfortunately my car needs fixing, my bike needs the new shock I have fitting and the other one needs an exhaust.Ê Ouch.Ê Credit crunch indeed.ÊÊ

As for the cycling, I think perhaps it's time to spend some money on the Pompino.Ê For one I want to refresh the drive train (new cog, chainring and decent quality chain).Ê But I also want to lower teh gearing slightly to account for the cold weather and slower club runs.Ê While I'm at it I'll give it a clean, possibly a new bottom bracket and certainly a new pair of tyres - the ones on it have been absolutely brilliant, but the front (ex-back) one is bald and the rear (ex-front) one has a worrying sidewall bulge.Ê Hmm.ÊÊ

Will hit the web with some pics when I've done it.
