Been out for the ride on this blustery evening. Pretty hard going at times, the woods are pretty soft under the wheels at the moment and a couple of times it made me wonder if I should put some gears back on the bike... Might help me outrun the werewolves and falling trees as well... Anyway.
One stretch in particular, not ridden it before (isn't solo night riding in the woods in heavy winds the best time to explore?) was really heavy going, and was going to be even harder on the way back up the hill, turns out it was actually downhill on the way back... Yay for gravity! Boo for night riding disorientation. That was also the section where I thought I would try and work out what the annoying zinging noise was. Did up the two allan bolts holding on the... front brake calliper... and carried on. Quite pleased I stopped to check would be an understatement.
Still, got back before the heavy rain and had a few minutes fun swapping the tyres on the commuter for the Schwalbe Marathon Winters Santa brought me. Bring on the frost :-)
Now, where did I put that sandwich...
