I've not done any significant cycling for nearly a week as I have been afflicted by the cold and a sore throat, so am getting a bit stir crazy.
I've got the Kona sorted out with nice EA70 straight bars, front and rear disks (new pads sorted them out), and Bombers so was even contemplating going out tonight in the pishing rain and a steady 25 knot easterly just to do some miles, as my legs muscles are rebelling and cramping due to lack of use.
But instead I sat down with my son, some beer, Doritos, and dip, and watched Luc Besson's stylish 80s classic Subway.
But tomorrow I ride, as the Rousay Lap is next Saturday and I need to avoid being humiliated too much by Orkney's top triathletes who will also be there. It's a 13.1 mile circuit of the island, that I'd hope to do in about 45 minutes at best, but did in 57 minutes last year because of the rank weather, just like today's. I was still second! On a mountain bike! No chance of that this year though, as the ones who poofed out because of the weather last time will likely show up this time. Part-timers...
