Long winded ride into work. Loads of road closed near me as well as my own road.
Stopped off at the shops to buy some razor blades. How on earth they justify those prices is beyond me.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I use those Gillette fusion but I'll do my research on prices as at Asda they are about £17 for four, they say that four will last around three months but with my rough beard and shaving my head I try and use one blade every two weeks so I get eight weeks with a push.
I get knocked down but i get up again.

King of Shaves razor is the best i have ever used and the blades are loads cheaper than Gillette and Wilkinsons.

changed headset bearings, wheel bearings, renewed brake fluid and currently adjusting gears but this is my mountain bike, I need to wait until payday to service the proper bike.

Just gave it a bath now time for a polish, I was going to polish the down pipes but still waiting for the fitting kit for my belly pan which is on the way apparently, when that arrives I'll polish the down pipes before I fit it.
I get knocked down but i get up again.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Yesterday - had a little race with an Audi TT on the way into work.
It's an airfield perimeter road with a limit of 30mph. He wasn't sticking to it, but then neither was I! Usually with encounters like this I am the king of straight line speed, then when we get to a bend a sporty car will leave me until I can get it upright again.
However...
With my confidence increasing with every beautiful sunny day we're having, Mr TT could not get away from me. And he was using the whole road, both lanes and racing line et al. I however just slipped an arse cheek off the seat and stayed in the left hand lane. Planted, safe, steady, and right up his chuff.
I'm starting to like corners!
