Better.  OK, there were no Snickers involved, but that was definitely better.
More fuel, less wind, more warmth, and a whole heap more sunshine 😀

Wednesday’s ride was supposed to be a couple of hours and, as it didn’t go well, it shrank.  Today’s ride was supposed to be an short easy ride just to check the bike was working ok post-tinkering and, since it was going well, it grew.  See saw, margery daw, swings and roundabouts…

But, as the bike was working well and so was I, out there is where I wanted to be, and being the Master & Commander of my own ship, though enjoying being becalmed today more than most skippers would, I went where I wanted to.  Nowhere else to be, no place I’d rather have been, and it was really rather lovely all ’round.  Odd how things work out, no?

PS: I be quite proud of myself – I changed those wheels, I sorted those brake pads and I indexed those gears…and it all works! ‘Rah! 😀
