Cycling rules - Obey

Came across these rules of cycling, which should be obeyed at all times. They can be accessed here http://www.velominati.com/blog/the-rules/

Pay particular attention to rule #5, 9, & 20, 34, & 37

I endeavour to live by these rules particularly no 5.


Roll on

Where have you been?

Crikey, a full 6 months has gone by, and I haven't updated this blog! Poor show. Well what have I done.

I did the C2C (Coast to coast), St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay (nr. Whitby), in mid June. It was cracking. Did this with my little bruv, & a group of Firefighters from Staffordshire Fire & Rescue service who were doing the ride for the Firefighters Benevolent Charity. 189 mile in 2 days, well 12 hours of cycling to be precise. A breakdown of the ride can be found here. A brilliant ride with a great bunch of lads (I'm the idiot with the camera on his helmet)! I really should have written about it sooner, coz it was epic. Some damn steep hills oop norf! Still, the old memory not being what it once was, I won't try to reminisce?


Lately, the trusty steed is knackered. It's in the repairers, getting a new STI fitted (Shimano are looking into it), as the original failed. I did a cycle mechanics course in November, and made the fatal mistake of fiddling around with the set up, which seemed to cock it up. However, I'm reliably told my the shop that Shimano 105 STI;s (specifically the left one) has a tendency to fail?? Well, hopefully that will be repaired in the next week or so. In the meantime I'm stuck with the effing mountain bike. Christ, I don't see what people see in that cart-horse!! Don't ask me why I've got one?

What's next. Well I've already entered the 'Kilo to go' Cornwall Tor in April, and the Wiggle Dragon ride in June. Also want to do the Jurassic Beast again (May), and a few others. Will update sooner, when I have more info.
Roll on.
