Well considering that you were perched upon a velocipede......no wonder he looked at you askance! You should count yourself fortunate he didn't call the nice men in white coats to take you away to the giggle factory!

First day out this year, not like me.
I washed and polished the car Christmas Eve morning and ever since then we have had heavy snow and then rain for 40 days and I couldn't bare to get it dirty.
I had intended working on the car whilst it was garaged but couldn't find anything to do.
I think she is done.
Today was sunny and dry so I drove around my favourite haunts.
I had forgotten how quiet the car is and even the suspension behaved nicely. The brakes are superb!
Obligatory pics.

The AA box.

Welcome back, Brian 

The car had been stood for a couple of months when I took it out for the above ride.
Tyre pressures looked ok but I didn't check. As stated above even the suspension felt good with no hard crashes.
When I did check them I had around 24 at front and about 30ish at the rear.
Reset to 26 front and 36 rear and now it crashes like a wooden cart.
Might go half way and see.

Pick up a 18t chainring tomorrow. I'm always running out of gears with the 15t.
No spandex involved.
 

Nice day here so decided to put £20 of V Power in and once the half gallon went in I decided to go for a run.
In the middle of it on an open country road I had 5 mins of pure adrenalin. The kind that leaves you trembling at the wheel when you ease off.
They do handle well.

A most barbarous and utterly uncivilised device to be sure!

I was going to ask how you are doing but it's obvious you haven't lost your wit!!
Keep posting mate..always good to feel the barb on that tongue of yours...😁

"A most barbarous and utterly uncivilised device to be sure!"
