Before the builders
Lots have been happening, not many updates. I will put photos up of our new kicthen and the new floor.
I’ve been out a couple of times with the Aylesbury Cycling Club, and have got a few events coming up: 10 mile time trial, Marlow Red Kite Ride 50 miles and The Howler 50 miles.

Finally got my photo from the event photographer
Marlow Red Kite ride – 50 miles
The Marlow Red Kite ride was great, but I ran out of energy after 30 miles *again*. The last 5 miles were hell! 🙁
I’ve just tried to but a photo of me cycling during the ride from Sportive Photos but their mail server is set-up wrong and retries 3 times in two minutes on soft-fail and then gives up, so still don’t have the photo. Will post it up when I eventually get it.
I’m doing another 50 mile sportive, the Haddenham Howler, next weekend. Feeling a bit drained already.
I had a bike fitting done at Buckingham Bikes in Aylesbury before the Red Kite ride, which was money well spent. Felt much better afterwards. And I have now fitted by aero bars, need to get used to them, I think.

Will update this post with some photos…
Back to cycling…
My Mio Cyclo 200 is fantastic, and it does upload to Strava, despite some initial confusion. Also now got a Cateye Strada with HR and cadance. As per many reviews, the cadance is fiddle and I haven’t got it to work properly yet.
Still going out several times a week, and I have signed up for a 10 mile time trial on the 14th through the Aylesbury Cycling club.
P.S.
Just testing embedded Strava:

N.S. Clarke dangerous lorry driver
I have to put this up, unfortunately, as N.S. Clarke Transport doesn’t care about their drivers endangering other motorists lives. Have a look at the footage below, bullying the little red car, then illegally moving in to the third lane to over-take:

Bullying and illegal, not much else to say.
First ride on bike
Bike arrived:
Had a first ride on it. Excellent bike, especially for the money. Very light, lively and quiet. Rolls along very easily. Brakes are a bit of a let down but work (not from the Shimano 105 series).
Also fitted my Mio Cyclo 200 but not tried it yet. Had to buy some Shimano 105 pedals for the bike and some nice Italian shoes, called Physique but not spelt that way 🙂
