Revenge of the Giant!!

Ye gods, what have I been doing! The poor old Giant's back wheel went in about April this year so I got a new bike (as you do) and hung the Giant up in the garage to gather dust. As I was getting fitter the new bike seemed better than it really was. Have taken the Giant out tonight with off-road tyres on it and it's thrashed the Stealth into the floor - a 16.2mph average for 14 miles in 52.5 minutes?




16.2mph average on MTB tyres, is it having a laugh (only at the Stealth's expense!).


Have got to get the Giant kitted out now and to that effect I made a quick visit to the Tesco's superstore in sunny Alfreton this lunchtime and purchased an accessory kit that had been reduced from £14.97 to £11.22. It had a pump, a bike lock, a multi-tool, a drink bottle and holder and a bike computer. The bike computer was surplus to requirement (have Garmin taking care of business in that area) so as Dave was looking for one for his bike, I sold it to him and saved even more. (Dave works with me on special projects, by the way, and has taken up a bit of cycling while he gets over his dodgy knee, top man).

Tesco Bike Accessory Kit, great value at £14.97, bargain at £11.22!!!

So have gone from being hacked off with the world last night to "happy days are here again" in under 24 hours!! Well pleased!!
