3000 mile service, and failed ride
Well, between 3050 and 3200 mile service (Tricross odometer currently on 3119.5 miles). On Thursday I finally got around to changing the chain and cassette on the Tricross (they we’re still the originals). It now has a SRAM PC971 chain and Shimano HG50 32-11 cassette. No difference in gearing, just in good condition again. I [...]

I’d spent the last few weekends north of Cambridge and it’s quite flat there, I [...]

Todays ride: 85 km, half of it pleasingly fast (with the wind) and half of it painfully slow (against). I managed to get a few pictures to start off my village sign bingo. I didn’t really have a plan for where to go, except that I was going to visit Dry Drayton to see what [...]
