Not much happening today - did about thirty miles overall on the bike. This morning went on the bike up to Thorpe then across to Tissington (beautiful little village and estate) down to the ford and back down to Fenny Bentley, across top of Ashbourne, down through Mappleton and back home through Okeover Park. A nice ride if a little hilly and a little slow - but am getting back into it after ten days and it was rather cold!!
In the afternoon began work on a new project. Phil brought a mountain bike frame back from the dustcart yesterday - it's got no wheels, the right hand crank arm is jiggered, rear derailleur is bent out of shape, brake blocks need replacing and that's just the start - but by golly it is light and the components that don't need replacing (and there must be some) look pretty good - it's an aluminium framed Raleigh Incognito - will post a picture soon. Have nicked wheels off Janette's bike for now - she knows though so it's cool!!
