Yesterday’s evening ride took me up the Gorge, which went ok and actually felt better than of late.  Maybe even good, after the steep bit.  In fact if some eejot hadn’t removed the relevant segments, I reckon Strava would show that I did pretty well…*grrr*.  Having gone up, I got to go down Burrington Combe which I love, but I need to practice because I always screw up the wiggly bit halfway down, and duly did so again.  Definitely a case of “could do better” methinks.  There was also some fast and some flat and even the odd sprint too, and you know what?  It was fun.  More miles, more smiles… 🙂  I’ve really been enjoying riding my bike lately.  Whether it be on my own, following a Planet X, on the flat or even going up hill.  Isn’t that cool?  Because, like, isn’t that the point? 😀

In other news, I am now the proud owner of my very own 47 piece socket bit set.  How cool is that?  Yes, yes, I’m weird (no news there then), but I like having my own tools.  I really do.  I am the girl who did actually once ask for, and get, a power screwdriver for my birthday – and I still love that 🙂  I am hoping to get better at sorting my own bike out…though don’t hold your breath…I’ll still be begging for “help” on a regular basis 🙂  I’m currently trying to get my bike sorted for Ride London, which I’d like to try and do well.  My current shopping list includes new wheels, new tyres, two new cassettes, one new chain, and two new pedals.  I think that covers it so far…but I’m running out of time to get it all done…*help!* 😉
