So far year this I have done 5,006 miles. Which I am very pleased with. When my goal was just 4,500 miles. So lets see, if by the end the year on at least 5,150 miles.

At long last, I have make up my mind, I really need to sort my life out and get another job. So I am hoping using the LinkedIn website may help somewhat with that.

My 17 year bike, just had only it’s second full service

Believe it or not. The bike that I have had for 17 years has just had, what I believe is only it’s second ever full service. It only cost £92.99, which I am very happy with indeed. Feels so nice having a fully working bike again. It’s even got fully working back and back breaks for the first time in god knows how long! Big thanks to Terry Wright Cycles for keeping it on the road. So who knows, maybe for another 17 years :).

I give it a quick test cycle tonight. I did a whole 12.1 miles on it. Which is also the first cycle, I have done since Wednesday 23rd October, which is a long time ago for me.
