Have a dry run at putting the rack on first , as the one I've got takes a bit of fiddling around to get it on nice and secure

Just in from our 2nd ride of the day. We did 7 miles this morning in Thorndon Park with the other guys this morning.

Once home we decided to go out again and knocked up another 10.2 miles.

Had a great day but sore bums and aching legs for both of us now.

Best clean the bikes and light the BBQ, what a cracking day

Nice one.

Fixed the puncture on mine The split was in the exact same place as the other one I had I wondering if they were duff innertubes. Anyway a nice new one in.

The bike is all clean, lubed and oiled and ready to go again. Although the crank came loose again within about 10 pedals I've tightened it again but haven't tried it since. Might need doing a bit tighter with some thread lock.

Must give Les a call and get it booked in for a service!
