Simple things...

So today was a good day. It's the first day in a long while that there has been a blue sky when I woke up, this was a good start. At about 10am my new tyre and grips arrived from Millsy's shop, HardcoreHobbiesHQ.com. I got an Aitken tyre and some Stricker grips in white. Now this may not sound like a big deal but I can't remember the last time I got anything new for my bike that wasn't a tube so it was awesome. I eagerly fitted my new bits and pumped my tyres up super hard so I could go fast on my way to uni.

It was pretty windy but I got to the IC about 11 and did some work before meeting Pete at Dev for a long overdue ride. Even tho it was blowing hard and still a bit wet, there were loads of people at the park as if it were summer, thankful that even if the weather wasn't that good, if wasn't that bad either. I tried to do some fast 180s hoping my new tyre would help but alas, I am still not Aitken. Once we had had enough of being blown over every manual we went back to do some more work. I managed to leave and get back to JR just before the rain started again, as well as being in perfect time for Hollyoaks. Timing!

Lets hope spring isn't too far away! I can't wait to ride Dev in the hot sun again.

Peace x
