Well, nothing of major excitement really, most lazy weekend, had a slight disaster when I got my puncture fixed, went to put it back on the bike and the brakes were too tight to put the wheel through (I’d just dropped the wheel in to be fixed) So, decided to take off the breaks and put the wheel on.
Excellent idea, except that the brakes were of a design I’d not seen before.. and, well, ummmm, a spring kinda sprung loose in a desperate bid for freedom when I loosened them off. Shame, I got the spring (ok, so it didn’t actually fly off but it did uncoil itself…) So… my bike was then complete with a fixed front wheel, and no brakes, so had to drop it in again on the monday.
Oh – had a truly excellent night on friday with Glynn, pool and pints, one of my favorite combinations. Well, ok, so not usually the pints – interferes with my pinpoint accuracy ;) hehe, ehem, joking.. but it was really fun, one of the things I miss about my last (real) job in openet is the pool table that we had there. Still, what can you do.
Sat and Sun were pretty lazy – combined with some fairly atrocious weather, so no climbing..
Killed myself playing squash last night – on monday – I was filling in for Thor who I wasn’t sure was going to turn up.. in the event he did so I shouldn’t have been playing the top player on the other team, only lost by a few points in the final game (best of 5)
Quite annoyed about that one.. then again, he was quite a lot better then me :) next time. However, have really strained just about everything that can be strained.. my back is not super-happy with me, will have to try and lay off the game for a while I think, which is a shame, I do enjoy it! (no kidding)
