Redlands Trails. This week's riding. 30th March 2014 Riders: Richard, Terry & Tim LOMAC to Westhumble Weather: 14°C What promises to be a good ride on a warm, dry day with firm trails and good mates comes to a premature end when my rear wheel starts playing up.
It's finally British Summer Time and despite losing an hour's sleep last night and waking up with a hangover for the second day running (after Friday's binge at the preview of Won't Back Down in Dorking) I drag myself down to the LOMAC to meet Terry and last-minute dot Tim. Terry sets a fast pace and I'm hanging on okay whilst Tim is trailing but after a while I seem to be losing power. My rear wheel isn't spinning properly, in fact it's not even turning a quarter way around freely. At first sight it appears to be the pads rubbing on the disc rotor but Terry diagnoses that the axle isn't rotating and one of the cones is lose. We head downhill to try to fix it at Pilgrim Cycles in Westhumble. More maintenance for me to tackle during the next week. Biking - SIMONBARNESdotNET.

I want my life back » Other stuff. “it’s about more eyeballs” was the passionate refrain from a man with a ‘digital vision‘ and a poor choice in ties earlier in my week. Somebody, who shall spent an eternity in hell, had furnished this ‘digital native‘ with novelty neck wear, a copy of powerpoint and an hour of my time to expound barely-baked theories on exactly how the world was going to work and – if we took his breathless advice – our place within in. Two problems. He was twenty years plus a bit past those who have an understanding of any of this shit – so therefore entirely irrelevant, and I wasn’t listening. Not because i wasn’t interested** but rather my attention was on the blurry audio visual experience which was more modern hieroglyphics than any discernible text.
This wasn’t the surprise that a man waking up missing 10% of his vision would suggest. Visual assessment predates any proper medical advice. So many people were eyeballing my eyeball I began to feel a bit like a medical experiment. Cycling News and Bike Reviews for Road Bikes, Mountain Bikes, BMX and More.
